Review of belVita Crunchy Breakfast Biscuits -- Blueberry

belVita Crunchy Breakfast Biscuits -- Blueberry (vegan)
Overall rating: 3.5/5
Summary: blueberry flavour is super present and there are lots of chewy bits of blueberries that just make this the perfect mouthful. Every biscuit is fresh and crunchy and super sweet. This is by far my favourite belVita product to date out of the Soft-Baked Breakfast Bar (Mixed Berry), Crunchy Breakfast Biscuits -- Cinnamon Brown Sugar, Crunchy Breakfast Biscuits -- Chocolate. Actually, the Cinnamon Brown Sugar is rated the same, but I am a true blueberry fan, so I'd opt for blueberry. Highly recommended. The nutritional profile isn't too bad and I consider this a nice treat once in a while (sugars are a bit high and calories, given the protein  count).

Where to buy: Walmart, Target



Ingredients: whole grain blend (rolled oats, rye flakes), enriched flour (wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), riboflavin, folic acid), high oleic canola oil, sugar, whole grain wheat flour, evaporated cane sugar, dried blueberries, malt syrup (from corn and barley), invert sugar, baking soda, salt, soy lecithin, disodium pyrophosphate, natural flavour, datem, blueberry juice concentrate, ferric orthophosphate, niacinamide, pyridoxine hydrochloride, riboflavin, thiamin mononitrate.

The ingredients are pretty good...would prefer all whole grains and non-GMO canola oil. The calories are a bit high for the fiber and protein count, but it does have healthy fats and is quite filling.
