Advantages: Syn free, crunchy, sweet

Disadvantages: Not as cheap as normal biscuits

OK, so today it was back to the diet! I do slimming world and have not attended a group for about 3 months now due to being a few lb over my target weight. In an attempt to not have to pay again when I go back this week I am trying to be really good!

So as I was munching on a Muesli Crunch Ryvita as part of my healthy b option today I thought I would give these a quick review!

When I first tried these I had seen the advert with Fern dipping them into a cup of tea and first thought how disgusting (I don't drink tea or coffee and the thought of dipping any type of biscuit into said tea of coffee makes me feel sick), secondly I thought maybe they would be really dry and you would need to dunk them in something to make them edible.

I was wrong about them being dry, but not about dunking them!

The best way to describe this type of ryvita is comparing it to a garibaldi biscuit. That is because the ryvita is similar in size and shape (except being thicker) than the usual ryvita's and made of the same fiber rich stuff, but inside it is packed full of currents. On top are pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, brown sugar (which you can see as quite large crystals) and honey.

They are really crunchy with the currents giving you a little bit of a chewy texture which I have to say is lovely. They are quite sweet although not as much as conventional biscuits. They are quite filling because they are fibre rich, and also good for you due to the high amount of fibre.

I'm sure you can all imagine how disgusting biting into a dry ryvita would normally be, but these really are more of a biscuit and can take the edge off of a craving for something sweet without being too bad for you.

Each ryvita contains 57 Cals, 1g fat and 1.7g fibre. You get about 16 in each packet which costs around about £1.30, if you shop around you will often find special deals. If you are doing the slimming world diet I can tell you that 2 of these make a healthy b choice so it's great as an afternoon snack (or 3 syns each if not eaten as a healthy extra).

Summary: Great as a biscuit alternative.
