Since having my baby boy, eating a balanced breakfast has been challenging. I talk about it all the time and it goes a little something like this: my daughter has nutritional oatmeal filled with pureed greens, raisins, apple sauce, etc. The baby gets the baby version of that same recipe, with added Brewers Yeast and fish oil. And Mama, well, I get coffee; cafe con leche, to be exact. So when my friends at Fitfluential asked me to test out the new belVita breakfast biscuits, I was hoping to find something that will get me through my mornings in a healthier fashion.
Belvita Breakfast Biscuits
Belvita Biscuits
I know from comments and emails that many of you also struggle with finding the perfect breakfast that tastes great, can be consumed on-the-go (or at least quickly) and nourishing your body. Whereas before we could sit down to eat breakfast, just finding the time to EAT has become a chore.
As we move into the new year, I’m obsessed with finding the perfect breakfast for me (yes, ME!). One that is balanced and fills me up, but that is also realistic to my constraints as a mom of two small babies.
In that regard, belVita delivers; it doesn’t get much easier than opening a package. And because belVita breakfast biscuits come in five flavors to satisfy any palate (blueberry, golden oat, cinnamon brown sugar, chocolate, and apple cinnamon), I was never bored. Beware – chocolate was especially yummy – almost like a dessert!
Each individual package of 4 crunchy biscuits is portioned for breakfast and provides
- 18-20 grams of whole grains
- 3 grams of fiber
- 4 grams of protein
In my research, I learned that they’re also 6 points for the Weight Watchers crowd, which apparently is a lot. I will say though, that eaten with some non-fat Greek yogurt, fruit and my cafe con leche, 4 of these biscuits really filled me up. I wasn’t picking or snacking throughout the morning, and could even share with the kids. Also, the breakfast biscuits are specifically baked to give you sustained energy all morning.

Belvita Breakfast Biscuits Nutritional Information
I would and will buy these breakfast biscuits again. Actually, I already did. Between Alina “sharing” everything I eat and them doubling as teething biscuits for Sebas, my belVita samples were gone before I had a chance to take pictures! If your alternative is no breakfast at all, or you’re considering a less than stellar nutritional option, you should give belVita breakfast biscuits a try.

I absolutely enjoy all the healthy eating you discuss on the blog — particularly for the kiddos. Very helpful for this mom.
