Cookies for Breakfast

I am a big advocate of eating breakfast, just ask anyone near and dear to me. Whether they want it or not, I'm always preaching how important it is to not skip meals and eat breakfast. The biggest complaint I hear is "I don't have enough time" which I can fully relate to. My day starts early and ends late (if I haven't fallen asleep by 10pm) and when my alarm goes off the next morning, I'd rather squeeze in any extra minutes I can than eat breakfast. This is where a new food product comes into play. This new product is Belvita, a breakfast biscuit or as they like to call it "a new kind of breakfast". They are like cookies, very convenient and portable as they come prepackaged. There are 4 biscuits in a package and they are packed with whole grains, B vitamins, and fiber. All 4 biscuits contains only 230 calories, 8 grams of fat, 35 grams of carbohydrates (18-20 of these are whole grain carbohydrates), and 4 grams of protein. Another added bonus: they contain NO high fructose corn syrup, no partially hydrogenated oils, and no artificial sweeteners. I have only tasted the golden oat (they also have blueberry and apple cinnamon), in fact I had them for breakfast this morning. The taste is comparable to graham crackers but sweeter and crunchier. I paired it with a glass of milk to give myself a little more protein because I knew I would be having a late lunch today. I was surprised to find I stayed full until about 1pm but I'm usually starving by 11am.  Other breakfast pairings with Belvita could be fresh fruit with greek yogurt, an apple, or a banana with the one (or two) cups of coffee we need in the morning. So, along with the new breakfast biscuits and other breakfast tips and tricks there are literally no more excuses.
