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?

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 =]
