Our Experience -
The very first bite gives you the taste of honey and wheat. The size of the biscuit is big as you can see in the picture. The whole lot contains only ten cookies in 200 g pack. Children didn't like these cookies. You can have one or two in between the
main meal to satisfy your small hunger pangs (but HEAD (Health, Exercise And
Diet) always suggests dry fruits and nuts for this purpose). As it has
good fibre content and size of the biscuit is also big, so it will make you feel fuller in just two biscuits. I found the price is on the higher side. They contain Zero Trans Fat (Why To Avoid Trans Fat - Read Here)
and zero cholesterol.
GAIA OATMEAL COOKIES claims to improve digestion and healthy bowel movement . As it is full of fibre so it will keep you fuller for longer.
Shelf Life
Best before 6 months from packaging
Ingredients
Wheat flour, Whole Wheat Flour, Edible Vegetable Oil, Sugar, Oats, Honey, Wheat Bran, Invert Sugar

Good if taken in moderation .UNIBIC SUGARFREE MULTIGRAIN BREAKFAST COOKIES
My second review is for UNIBIC SUGARFREE MULTIGRAIN BREAKFAST COOKIES. This biscuit
contains goodness of almonds and are rich in dietry fibres which is why it is here in our health blog. Oats, rice, ragi, wheat and corn reduces cholesterol, control blood sugar, reduce hypertension, regularize bowel movement and provide protein and antioxidants.

Our Experience -
After mentioning so many healthy ingredients I am thinking twice before writing the review but if we talk about taste, this biscuit has a very strong taste and odour of strawberry. When we have taken the first bite no one liked it at all (may be because of strong strawberry flavor), but gradually everyone started liking it. These cookies are sugar free. Cookies are not properly shaped (the cookies in picture are best shaped among the whole lot). A 'BIG NO' from children again if they don't like strawberry flavor. These cookies are free from trans fats (Why To Avoid Trans Fat - Read Here) and have zero cholesterol.

Our Experience -
I must say that this is one of the best tasting Oat
Cookies among its counterpart biscuits.
On the healthier side these cookies are free from Trans fats (Why To Avoid Trans Fat - Read Here) and have the composition
of oats, wholewheat and honey. Cookies
are very crisp and sweet and thus liked by the kids also. As like the other healthy biscuits they also
have the tendency to shed flakes (in this case oats crumbs). These cookies will be a perfect choice for
satisfying your hunger anytime or anywhere.
