Belvita Baked Bar Chocolate & Hazelnut 160g, Brown , 4 Count ( Pack of 1)

Product Information

As a vegan of 14 years, I’ve tried many breakfast bars, granola bars, energy bars, and protein bars. While BelVita Biscuits have been part of that mix, they are not my favorite, due to the high added sugar and low protein. BelVita bars are not the best for weight loss, as they have several high-calorie and processed ingredients like added sugar, enriched flour, and vegetable oil. They are also somewhat low in protein, so they may be less filling than other bars. But BelVita Biscuits can still be eaten on a diet. Most of the calories in belVita Biscuits come from carbs, with the second-most coming from fat. Protein is a relatively minor component. There are no ingredients in belVita Biscuits that are particularly high in protein—no protein isolates, and not even many nuts. belVita Biscuits contain vegetable oil. Most flavors have canola oil. Some also have palm oil. These oils are highly processed, high in calories, and relatively low in nutrients. A brilliant integrated #MorningWin campaign from belVita". The Marketing Society .

Most belVita Biscuits only have 3 or 4 grams of protein per bar. That is quite low compared to actual protein bars, which often have 10 to 20 grams per bar. In November 2011, Kraft Foods announced that it had given the advertising creative assignment for Belvita in the United States of America to Crispin Porter & Bogusky, an advertising agency under MDC Partners. [9]In August 2011, Kraft Foods announced an intention to split into two publicly traded companies; a new company called Kraft Foods Group (later merged with Heinz), and Mondelēz International (the original Kraft Foods Inc. renamed) which would retain the Nabisco subsidiary and brands such as Belvita. [10] The split occurred in October 2012. [11] [12] For reference:The American Heart Associationrecommends limiting sodium to 2,300mg per day. But they are “moving toward an ideal limit” of only 1,500mg per day. That would still be over 7 servings of BelVita Biscuits of any flavor. So, BelVita Biscuits are not that horrible when it comes to sodium.

Let’s start by looking at the ingredients. There are many kinds of belVita Biscuits, but we’ll be looking at 3 popular flavors as a sample. Most BelVita Biscuits are vegan. However, some flavors of the soft-baked BelVita Biscuits contain milk, eggs, or honey. These non-vegan BelVita Biscuit flavors are Protein Blueberry Almond; Protein Oats, Honey, & Chocolate; and Oats & Chocolate. Kraft Is Betting Big On The Global Cookie Business' Future".

But you could definitely get more fiber if you chose a fully whole-grain breakfast option, rather than a mix of whole grains and processed sugar like you get with BelVita.

Here is a table showing the specific sodium content for many belVita Biscuit flavors: belVita Biscuit Flavor Most BelVita Biscuits flavors have around 200 to 230 calories per serving. That is higher than Kashi Bars or Chewy Bars, but still not anything too crazy. So if you want to have a belVita Biscuit from time to time, it’s not going to ruin your diet. In general, one food will not make or break your diet. Portion sizes and total calorie balance are often the most important factors when trying to lose weight. Belvita Biscuits are marketed as having “No high-fructose corn syrup, no partially hydrogenated oils, and no artificial flavors or sweeteners”… Sounds healthy, right? But today, let’s take a deeper look. Are belVita Biscuits truly good for you?BelVita Biscuits have around 9 to 13 grams of sugar per serving, which is moderately high for bars of this type and size. Most of that is added sugar, not fruit sugar. The biscuits were first introduced in France in 1998, [4] [5] expanding to seven additional European markets in 2000, Brazil in 2010 and the North American market in 2012. [6] [7] [8] In 2013, Mondelēz voluntarily recalled two varieties of Belvita biscuits in the United States after receiving notification that a fault at a third-party supplier's factory might have led to metal fragment contamination.
