belVita softens your morning this winter
I have to admit the last few days have left me feeling a bit deflated, with sunset falling before 5pm it once again feels like there aren’t enough sunlight hours within the day and that makes my mood go downhill. However, the lovely people over at belVita sent me a sunshine package to help soften the blow of winter arriving and I have to say, I couldn’t help but smile when it arrived just before the weekend.
Of course this isn’t all about cheering me up, belVita have brought out a brand new range of Soft Bake breakfast bars which come in a choice of Red Berries, Golden Grain or chocolate.
belVita Soft Bake contain 5 wholegrains and rich in cereals. Add to which these bars are a great source of fibre and contain Vitamin B6, magnesium and iron. They have been proven to realise carbohydrates steadily over the course of up to 4 hours when eaten as part of a balanced breakfast, this is due to its inclusion of slowly digestible starch which helps keep your blood sugar more steady across the morning compared to food which are lower in slow to digest starch.
Personally in the past I have tried a number of different breakfast bars and biscuits and I have to say for me I am far more drawn to softer items at that time of the day and so those fill that want perfectly. When it comes to taste they are actually delicious; I assumed before trying that I would like the golden bake most out of the two I was sent, but in reality I discovered that the red berry variety is just delicious, as the berries add the perfect bit of flavouring.
One of the things that I love about the belVita Soft Breaks is the fact that each one is individually wrapped, meaning you can pop them into your handbag, in a lunch box or just grab and go and not have the worry about it being loose.
belVita Breakfast Soft Bakes are available to buy now from Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s and Tesco in Golden Back and Red Berry while the chocolate are exclusive to Tesco until January 2016, each box of 5 has an RRP of £2.79.
Personally I shall definitely be buying these again and can’t wait to try the chocolate ones.
What do you think of the sound of belVita Breakfast Soft Bake?

Never tried these – will look for some the next time I go out.
These sounds rather lovely especially the chocolate ones! I keep looking for things for breakfast that take my fancy, really gone off cereal and toast first thing for some reason!
I recently tried these and I really love the chocolate chip ones, they taste and smell like freshly baked cookies.. all gooey. Yummy
I love Belvita biscuits and they’re a great easy treat for the kis when we’re out and about.
I love Belvita biscuits in the morning! My daughter especially likes the blueberry ones. Yum!
I like the BelVita biscuits. I actually won a giveaway that allowed me to try a variety, and I really liked the Honey Oat ones. I would take them with me on bike rides. I haven’t tried the Soft Bakes yet, but would like to.
They look good for breakfast on the run!
They sound delicious! I had never heard of them before, but I’ll have to see if they’re available near me.
They really are yummy – I hope you manage to find some 🙂 x
Oooo I’ve never tried these, but have seen them while shopping. I will have to give them a try 🙂
These are delicious! We love them in our house!
I did see them in Tesco’s this week and I agree with you, soft biscuits are much better for the morning, especially with a cup of steaming hot coffee :-)1xx
Haven’t tried these, but think I will for my crazy picky, slow eaters!!
Those sound pretty tasty. My first to hear of Belvita.
I need to try these!! They look so good. I really want that cushion also xx
Haha it’s awesome isn’t it – I want to get some more to go with it now. x
The sunlight disappearing makes me so sad too! These bakes look scrumptious thanks for sharing!
It’s horrid isn’t it – the past few days its just not been out at all which is so 🙁 x
I love BelVita biscuits. They are perfect if you don’t have a lot of time to prepare breakfast in the morning.
Sorry to hear that you have been feeling down but well done Belvita for bringing out a new range of bars. Love Belvita and my adoration for their brand has only heightened with this news!
I love the plain (golden oat) crunchy ones, but haven’t tried the soft ones! I use these for breakfast, or a snack before the gym. They are SO delicious!
i love the breakfast cookies that they had when they first came out. i haven’t tried these but i want to!
my kids and I love Belvita biscuits. I did not know they made cookies, I so need to get these!
I have never ever tried a Belvita and until your post Sarah, I don’t think I have ever heard them.
They are well worth trying, do lots of different breakfast bars if these aren’t up your street as well.
I am a big fan of Belvita, I have a box in my desk at work for emergencies x
Those look really yummy! I need some!
These are perfect for on the go! I love to pack them when I am traveling they are just right for refueling.
My husband has these as snacks throughout the day. I’ll have to get him these.
These sounds great as a snack to take along with you when you’re out and about.
We love Belvita in our house, but we haven’t tried the soft bakes yet. They sound lovely though x
Oh they sounds really nice, I’m terrible at getting breakfast, I must pick some of these up x
I love the Belvita brand, but I haven’t tried this one, yet. I will get this next time I go to the grocery store.
I do love Belvita products and these I will have to try for sure. The Red Berry is the ones I would probably like the best so I will have to get them first. I love the Sun with the glasses and the smile.
these appeal being softer I will look out for them
I’ve tried BelVita before and really like them. They are a great treat for breakfast.
Belvita does give you the needed fiber and nutrients for breakfast. It also looks really tasty,
I have never heard of these. I am always looks for quick and convenient when it comes to breakfast.
I love the original belVita cookies, but I’ve never tried the soft ones. I need to see if I can find these around me ASAP!
I haven’t tried this yet. It looks like a healthy breakfast. I’m going to check this out.
I love Bel Vita Breakfast Bars! The are one of my go to breakfasts when I am on the go!
I hate when the sun sets so fast! The chewy factor sounds good for the mornings 🙂
It’s horrid isn’t it – it suddenly hits that there is hardly any light and yuck.
I like belVita! I used to buy a large box of them when I used to shop at Costco. Delicious with a cold glass of milk. 🙂
I’ve seen these in the stores, but I’ve never actually tried them. Look good!
That one with red berries sounds so good! I’m a fan of snacks like these.
I love the crunchy granola bars. These do look good though.
Yummy! Thanks for letting me know about belVita Soft Breaks. I haven’t tried them yet so I will have to look for them in my nearest grocer. I’m so curious about it now!
Ooh, these look delicious! Perfect for breakfast on the run!
I could not have coped this pregnancy without these bad boys … they are my go to and helped massively with morning sickness at the beginning too! 🙂
So cool they are helping you – I was really surprised at how much I like them, totally buying more this week need to try the chocolate ones haha x
These look great – I like that they are individually wrapped. My family would want the chocolate ones! Kaz x
It really helps I think, doesn’t mean they need eating so quickly either you can have one, one week and save the rest of later. x
Don’t think we get those in the states?
It’s been that crazy time of year when the UK/US are out of whack time wise. We don’t put our clocks back till this weekend. It causes problems every year with my family in the UK! Why can’t we all be on the same schedule???
Aww that’s a shame – perhaps you have something similar?
It’s crazy isn’t it – I have to admit I wish we didn’t have to change the clocks any more. x
I’m not sure if I have ever seen these in stores, but I’ll be sure to check them out if/when I do! They look great!
I really like Belvita biscuits so I’ll have to try these out too – thanks!
Definitely worth trying – they are very different but I am a complete convert now lol x
These look yummy and great for on the go.
I think I’ve tried most cereal bars out there but I have never found one I enjoyed. I’ll have to give the chocolate one a go. Everything is better with chocolate!
I totally agree with that, I am all for chocolate, I could probably live on it lol x
I’ve seen BelVita, but I haven’t had the occasion to try them. They look delicious.
There are definitely mornings when being able to pop a quick something in the bag and go is a great thing! If it’s healthy and helpful so much the better.
I agree, softer items appeal more than crunchy, especially first thing in the morning. That sun pillow is very cute!
It makes me smile of a morning I have to say, its something bright in a dull world. x
I really like BelVita biscuits. I will have to check out the Soft Bakes and see how they are!
I really hope you like them as much as I do 🙂 x
I didn’t realise there was some new ones out. My daughter likes these before her cross country runs.
They came out in August I think it was so almost a couple of months now – but still pretty new 😉 x
I love belvita and I love soft bake bars! Can’t wait to try these, will be looking out for these when I next go to the supermarket 🙂
That sounds delicious.I hope I can find them in the stores here.
I love belvita! Their breakfast bars are the best!
While I’m not keen on these for breakfast I think they are great for keeping in my bag to keep me going during a long day.
Definitely – I think they are the perfect in handbag treat as well 😉 x
I wonder if I can find these in my store here in the US. I would love to try those soft bakes.
We love the belvita brand and buy stuff from them all thetime. I haven’t seen this product before, but it looks so good! I’ll look for it the next time I’m at the store!
I’ve yet to try belVita Breakfast Soft Bake but it sounds yummy! I love that each one comes separately wrapped (that’s great for when you need to grab a snack on the go!) <3
I’ve never tried these, but it looks delicious and would be handy for breakfast on the go. I’ll look for them next time I’m grocery shopping.
These sound super convenient. Another great use for them would be while traveling! I hate when I am starving because I have to wait til meal service on a flight (even worse if the food sucks) – this would be the ideal thing to have in my bag!
I like Belvita but having tried these I wasnt as keen as I am on the crunchy biscuit ones. My favourite are the milk and cereals, whereas my kids love the yoghurt filled ones!
I have never tried these or the original ones. Perhaps I should get some for those mornings when we are running late
I’ve tried the chocolate chip one which was great- they were handing them out at a london train station for commuters to try. I love that they’re easy to put in your bag.
We have these here in the US, too and I buy them all the time. I love them.
I buy Belvita as it’s great for a breakfast on the go for both of my kids when they inevitably take that long on a morning to get ready that there’s no time for a sit down breakfast xx
Really need to try these, i love belvita =]
