Good Things Can Happen In The Morning

Britmums and Belvita breakfast biscuits recently set bloggers a challenge to tell people all about the little things which help to make their mornings better, the good moments that make us feel like we're winning!!

Here are just five situations where have managed to put a smile on my morning grumpy face :

Being able to brush my hair/apply my make up

Having four girls means I have to put all of their hair up (keep away the dreaded head lice), this leaves me with little or no time to get myself ready.

In actual fact I'm winning if I manage to get dressed and manage to swap my slippers for shoes, let alone stop myself looking like a walking zombie.

This leads me onto…

What's The Story Morning Glory

So I wrote a post quite a while ago now about how I get organised in the mornings but lets just say things don't always go to plans in the mornings, especially when we need to get out the door for the school run.

Recently Britmums along with Belvita breakfast set bloggers the challenge to tell you all about our

#MorningStories, just how do we make out of the door on time and not still in our pyjamas??

I was sent 3 lovely boxes of Belvita breakfast biscuits to help brighten my morning so I'm going to share with you my top five tips on just how I survive the morning chaos!!

Tip One - Preparation

I've always found organisation is key. I make sure to most things prepared the afternoon/night before. I make the girls lunches and have them ready and waiting in the fridge. I have uniform/clothes picked out. Means I can set my alarm that little bit later, although I don't know why I bother because one child always wakes me up before the alarm goes off, not sure which noise I prefer ;)

Belvita Breakfast Biscuits Review

With four kids to feed at breakfast, I like to give them different things to eat, gets boring having the same cereals day in day out.

I was recently asked to review the new flavour breakfast biscuit from Belvita, the kids being great food lovers were more than happy to help out with this review!!

The new flavour was Cocoa with choc chips. Now if I'm honest I wasn't a huge fan of the idea of the kids having chocolate for breakfast but they have had other chocolately cereals as a treat in the past so I can't really complain.

Each pack contains 4 biscuits. The biscuits themselves are made with a blend of 5 Wholegrains and are a great source of vitamins B1, B3 and E as well as a good source of iron, magnesium and fibre.

What I love is that there are no added colours or preservatives in them.

When giving them the biscuits for breakfast, I gave them two each as well as a piece of fruit, I'm sure you are all well aware of getting you 5 a day.

The girls were huge fans, I couldn't believe quite how quickly they ate them up!!

Of course I had to have a little try myself, surprisingly they aren't very chocolately, you can taste the flavour there but they also still have that recognisable cereal flavour, I'm not a huge fan of biscuits but I did enjoy these. They had a nice crunch to them and I'm sure a lot of you would enjoy dunking them in your tea or coffee in the morning.

These biscuits have been scientifically proven to realease carbohydrates slowly over 4 hours when eaten as part of a healthy balanced breakfast,  meaning you won't get that hunger feeling half way through the morning, great if you are trying to cut down on how much you are eating. 

A different take on breakfast on the normal breakfast cereal, each box contains 6 packets of biscuits. Priced at £2.59, I think they are reasonably priced. They have proved to be a worthwhile purchase in this house, we have also been having them at snack time as well as breakfast time and I would definitely purchase them again. 

I like the fact that there are more flavours to choose from too, 11 more to be exact, means we can mix it up a little. 

What is normally on the menu for breakfast in your house?
