slo’s THURSDAY 4/4 poll - Belvita Breakfast Biscuits

[NYCgrrl]

I bought them for DGD. The benefit it provides past alleviating “teenage whining” alludes me

I've never tried them, but the commercials always catch me off guard. I'm usually zoned out a bit during commercials in general and it's always mentally jarring because Belvita sounds an awful lot like Velveeta. Like why is a brick of processed plastic cheese a great on the go snack or breakfast?

We used to get the cinnamon ones for our boys for a grab and go breakfast when they were in HS. I haven't bought them in a while, though.

I've had the cinnamon sugar wafer, but haven't bought them in years.

But I haven't had one in years.

When they first came out I tried them, liked the blueberry and would usually have some in the house for a fast breakfast when needed. (I don't always eat breakfast). As time went on they just became a filler, like oatmeal and ............ the average taste no longer was worth the price they became.

Over the years we have had breakfast bars in the house ongoing but now we don't. COVID taught us that there is lots of stuff we just don't need, and not worth the price tags. We ate through our pantry back then and learned to only keep what we use regularly and need, and we have saved lots of money avoiding those "luxury" items. AND no wasted food.

* We periodically get a box of Nature's Bakery Bars at COSTCO but those have seemed to temper off as well.

I used to eat a Belvita sandwich cookie that had oats and almond butter - or something like that. I don't see it in the current list of products, though.

But I haven't had one in years.

Maybe thinking of the similar Nature Valley ones? I loved the coconut butter ones, but no stores around me carry that flavor anymore.

Tried them once or twice. They were okay. Just another cookie IMO, and not something I’d eat for breakfast.

I know I’ve tried them but don’t remember the flavor, probably blueberry or cinnamon. They aren’t something I buy regularly

These are usually one of our in-room, fast-grab breakfast options when staying at Disney. We like them as the flavors we choose aren't too sweet. We also have fruit, apple sauce, sliced cheese, crackers. We aren't big breakfast people in the first place, and if we are going to a theme park we want "quick and easy" for breakfast so we can get out of the room and off to the park!

I tried the blueberry version on a flight and thought they were pretty good. Might have bought a box or two but figured there were more tasty ways to ingest carbs & sugar.

 

[easyas123]

We keep them stocked in the office kitchen. Blueberry, chocolate, orange/cranberry and or cinnamon. Oh and on occasion the soft banana bread ones - depends on what the store has when whomever places the insta cart order.
They're okay. I'd say I eat 2+ a week, when I didn't make time for breakfast at home.

You are correct. Those are the ones I was thinking of. Thanks for the link.

I've seen them all over and have been tempted to try them, but haven't yet. We do sometimes get those Nature Valley biscuits (almond or peanut butter), which I'm guessing are pretty similar?

But anyway, when it comes down to it both of them are just a way to have cookies for breakfast without admitting you're having cookies for breakfast. "It's a breakfast biscuit!"

 

[CynBeth]

I have never tried them. I have cereal as breakfast and already have granola bars I eat as part of lunch or snacks.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I got blueberry ones as a snack on a plane once. I wasn't a fan, so I never bought them once I got home in any other flavor. Am I missing out? What flavors would you recommend?

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I like them a lot! I’ve purchased most of the flavors except golden oat. My favorites are the brown sugar cinnamon, toasted coconut and pumpkin spice. I don’t eat them now because I’m watching my carbs and calories. Our college daughter regularly buys and enjoys them and I always pick up boxes when she’s here and to take back to her apartment.

 

[jo-jo]

Wow, I really feel like an uninformed outsider this morning. I've never heard of them, sooo, have also never had them. Maybe next on my Walmart pickup list.

I've heard of them, my DD gets them for DGDs sometimes, but I've never tried them. The cranberry orange sounds good though.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I have not tried them, but my step-daughter likes them.

 

[monsterkitty]

Gingerbread are the best, but they didn't have them this year (at least in our area).
Pumpkin is second best
Chocolate sandwich
Banana bread (they used to have chocolate chip banana bread)

I use these for fuel when I have a long bike and I'm tired of my other fuel sources.

I have an aversion to them. The packaging reminds me of something my grandma used to eat so it vibes geriatric and like those Ensure drinks for some reason. Can't put my finger on what it is that reminds me of my grandma, maybe the yellow packaging is super similar to her favorite prunes for stewing with lemon.

Yes, it is def the prune colors & sun like vibe, not exact but close enough
