When I
first saw breakfast biscuits advertised I thought the idea was a little
strange. Ok, so I’ve been known to grab a couple of rich tea or digestive
biscuits with a coffee on days when I just can’t face a ‘proper” breakfast, but
a biscuit actually designed for the job, could that be healthy?
Whenever I
can, I try to have a bowl of cereal or slice of toast for breakfast, with maybe
some eggs or a croissant at weekends, but when I have to make a really early
start I can’t always face a full meal.
So one day
I caved in and bought some breakfast biscuits.
The first
ones that I tried were Belvita Breakfast Crunchy Oats, which are apparently 68% cereal.
These were OK but lacked something for me and are actually quite pricey (when
not buying them half price, which surprise, surprise is what I did).
Another day,
another offer, and I tried Belvita Breakfast Yogurt Crunch with live yogurt and honey. I much
preferred these sandwich-style biscuits with a honey taste, but still consider
them far too expensive when not on offer. They apparently contain 115 calories
per biscuit (they come in sealed packs of two), 4.4g fat and 6.6g of sugar,
whilst the average digestive contains 71 calories, has 3.2g fat and 2.6g of
sugar, and is kinder to my purse.
Looks like
I might as well stick to plan A then – a couple of digestives when I can’t face
breakfast!
