BelVita - What's With This Funny Name?

When I opened that huge voxBox there was a little package tucked in the corner called "belVita".  Honestly, not only did I never hear of this product, but the packaging did not appeal to me. Frankly,  I didn't think I would like this strange named "biscuit", called "belVita". 

However, part of joining Influenster is being open minded and trying the products - if your lucky enough to be selected.  Both Influenster and the manufacturer's look for your feedback in the interactive web-site  So...   I decided to bring the little Cinnamon Brown Sugar biscuits to work for that afternoon snack.  

The belVita web-site says that they are made of "wholesome fine ingredients, like whole grained oats". Each individual package has 4 thin biscuits inside that contain 18- 20 grams of whole grain. They claim it will sustain your energy level throughout the day.  3 grams of fiber to keep you feeling satisfied and some iron and 4 sources of vitamin B.

EXCITED TO TRY THEM YET?   I wasn't either!   

When I was hungry enough, I reluctantly tore open the package and took a bite...  I admit I was pleasantly surprised by the taste!  It was delicious, light and crispy. I easily ate all 4 and truly enjoyed each one. They can't be compared to a cookie, possibly compared to those "tea biscuits" your grandma would enjoy with her afternoon coffee or tea. Nevertheless, they were good and unlike a candy bar or actual cookie, I didn't find myself quickly hungry either. 

I admit that liked them enough that I went out and bought 2 boxes. One flavor was the chocolate biscuits and the other box was the same flavor. By the way, I found there is an assortment of flavors to appeal to different tastes. When shopping for them you'll probably walk right by them. Who ever designed the packaging needs to make some changes!  

I'm going to rate these a:     B
