WHAT: Nature Valley Breakfast Biscuits
STATS: Each pack of breakfast biscuits contains 230 calories and 9 fat, 33 carbohydrate, 4 fiber and 5 protein grams. For more information, visit naturevalley.com/snack-bars.
THE SKINNY: Fluffy, flaky, smothered in sausage gravy. That’s how we prefer our breakfast biscuits.
But it’s trendy, crisp European-style energy-promising breakfast biscuits that continue to crowd grocery shelves. What began with belVita continues with Nature Valley, which has recently introduced BreakfastBiscuits in Blueberry and Honey flavors. Each box contains five packs of four biscuits.
Confronted by taste and nutritional numbers similar to belVita, we’d buy whatever is on sale.
Speaking of belVita, the lineup continues to expand. Crunchy flavors include Golden Oat, Blueberry, Apple Cinnamon, Cinnamon Brown Sugar and Chocolate. Soft Baked flavors include Mixed Berry, Oats & Chocolate, Cinnamon and Banana Bread. Visit belvitabreakfast.com.
