Weetabix On The Go Chocolate Breakfast Drink, 250 ml, Pack of 8

Product Information

Just remember the sugar count of a Vanilla Weetabix On The Go drink is 12g with 4.8g of fat, so it’s not something we would recommend on a regular basis. Is Weetabix good for weight loss?

Fibre is found in foods that come from plants and has a positive impact on our health and well-being. The average adult should aim to consume at least 30g of fibre a day. To reap all the benefits, just make sure you buy the Classic Weetabix, not the flavoured one which has more sugar. Is chocolate Weetabix healthy?

Have you had yours?

What’s more, it will help you meet the daily recommended protein intake, keeping you fuller for longer and helping you maintain your weight. Traditional Weetabix provides you with 4.5g of protein per serving, but we’ve discovered a Weetabix product that offers 7.6g of protein for the same serving size.

Chocolate Weetabix does come with some health benefits as it contains whole grains, a good amount of fibre and added vitamins. However, it’s not the healthiest breakfast due to its relatively high sugar content but it’s also not the worst and better than many sugary cereals out there. Yes, as long as you have a single portion. We often have Weetabix as a family supper – it’s nutritious and delicious at any time of the day. So… What’s the Verdict? Is Weetabix Healthy? We believe so. It contributes in many ways to feeling fuller for longer and the classic variety contains no fat. But eating Weetabix every day in a hope that it will help you lose weight won’t really work. This has to be done in a combination with a calorie-controlled diet and active lifestyle as there is much more to losing weight than just switching to a healthier cereal. Can babies eat Weetabix?So what’s going on? Public-health warnings linking overconsumption of sugar to tooth decay, type 2 diabetes, obesity and other health problems have never been more insistent. And last year, the UK’s Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition endorsed the World Health Organisation’s view that the recommended daily intake of added sugars should be halved to 25g. Why do consumers still have such an appetite for these products? “Sugar sells,” is how Katharine Jenner, nutritionist and Action on Sugar’s campaign director, puts it. “Companies have more interest in their profits than in the health of their customers.” Those customers, she points out, are falling for “clever marketing and promotion”, and believe these “sugary convenience foods” are healthy. “Suddenly it is seen as acceptable to eat what is essentially a milkshake and biscuits for what is the most important meal of the day.” The sugar content in chocolate Weetabix stands at 17g per 100g. This is 7.7g of sugar per serving (2 biscuits) which equals almost 2 teaspoons of sugar. Compared to other popular cereals, Weetabix contains more fibre. For example, a similar-sized bowl of Kellogg’s Cornflakes contains just 0.9g of fibre. But it’s not just drinks that are giving us a new sugar rush at breakfast time. Sales of breakfast biscuits are also soaring. According to Kantar Worldpanel, we now devour 19.3m kg of breakfast biscuits a year, up from 3.5m kg in 2011. The biscuits range from 10g–13g of sugar per 50g serve – roughly equivalent to the sugar in a serving of Frosties (without milk), one of the most sugary breakfast cereals on the market. Eating plenty of fibre aids digestion and helps to maintain healthy bowels. Fibre has also been associated with lowering the risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes and bowel cancer.
