But nutrition should not be sacrificed for convenience, at least not at the start of every day.Let’s start with the ingredients. Alarm bells start ringing when you look at the ingredients list of Belvita biscuits. I tried the Milk and Cereals biscuit with around 20 ingredients in it. There is nothing particularly unhealthy from a strictly nutritional point of view, although some of the ingredients definitely raise an eyebrow. They’re made without high-fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, artificial flavours or sweeteners…

No colours or preservatives, Source of fibre, Source of Calcium, Magnesium and Iron, Suitable for vegetarians Belvita biscuits in strawberry flavour have 9 syns per biscuit, making them very high in syns so you should only be eaten in moderation when you have enough room in your syn allowance.There would be further room for improvement away from these biscuits but it would be a step in the right direction.
