Product Information

belvita Soft Bakes have a high content of slowly digestible starch, which is a slow release carbohydrate. Consumption of foods high in slowly digestible starch raises blood glucose concentration less after a meal compared to foods low in slowly digestible starch. Now for the big question. Do they taste any good? Let’s be honest, it doesn’t matter if they are the greatest nutritional “superfood” ever invented but if they taste awful then it’s all irrelevant. Since Belvita soft bakes come in different flavours there syns can vary slightly, but on average their soft bakes have around 10 syns per bake which is quite high, taking up the majority of your syn allowance. I definitely wouldn’t feed them to kids. Again, not necessarily due to the nutritional values but more because of the nutritional concepts.

I wouldn’t be surprised if you already have formed an opinion about BelVita breakfast biscuits before reading this review.
