Even though I’m not a huge fan of strict diets and New Year resolutions, I’ve got some goals within reach for 2015. It is on my list to never skip breakfast, exercise regularly (taking an exciting challenge), loose around 8 pounds and keep that weight off. That’s why I’ve set up a new morning routine.

I know I’ve told you many times, but I’m a terrible breakfast eater. I used to regularly skip breakfast for years, until recently, when I found some new breakfast products at Target. I’ve been enjoying these BelVita Bites – Mini Breakfast Biscuits and V8 Veggie Blends for the last 2 weeks. They’ve become a part of my new  breakfast routine, which I’m planning to follow for a long time.

To be honest, BelVita breakfast biscuits aren’t new to me, but these mini bites are. I’ve been buying the regular (larger) kind ever since my sister introduced them to me over 3 years ago. And when I saw the mini version, I fell in love!

They come in 2 flavors: Mixed Berry and Chocolate and both are really good. Each box has five 1.76 oz(50 g) packs with mini bites. Packaging is very convenient and I don’t only eat them for breakfast, I’ve been keeping a pack in my purse for the times when I leave the house to run errands and get super hungry.

These have been keeping me away from lots of unnecessary snacks lately. 

My  Morning Routine

My New Morning Routine BelVita V8 Veggie Blends

In order to stay healthy and loose the desired extra pounds, I’ve been trying really hard to stay hydrated, which makes me feel less hungry. The V8 Veggie Blends are just the perfect addition to my new healthy morning routine. They are delicious vegetable blends with a touch of fruit. They contain one full serving of vegetables in every 8 oz glass, which is exactly what I need early in the morning. Made with 75 % vegetable and fruit juices and 25 % water.

These juices come in 4 different blended flavors: Carrot Mango, Purple Power, Healthy Greens and Golden Goodness. The Carrot Mango is my favorite ! They are the perfect source of vitamins and antioxidants and I  no longer need to make smoothies early in the morning (My blender is very loud, plus I get  up early. Still make smoothies, but for an afternoon snack). I also like to add 1 tbsp of chia seeds in my V8 Veggie Blend Juice.

You can find both BelVita Bites and V8 Veggie Blends at Target. The BelVita Bites are located at the Cereal Bars/Granola Bars isle and the V8 Blends are at the Soda/Juice isle, which happened to be next to each other at my local Target.

My 2015 goals are simple and I believe achievable, I just have to be consistent!

1. I’ve made an effort to get enough sleep every night. I’ve been pretty good with that so far.

2. Never skip breakfast! Thanks to BelVita Bites and V8 Veggie Blends.

3. Exercise regularly, slowly loose around 8 pounds and keep them off. I recently started taking the Les Mills Combat Challenge (for a second time, the first one was over 2 years ago) and have been very happy with this workout! It helps me push myself to a new level and feel toned.

4. Cook meals at home.

And here what my morning routine looks like and I’m hoping  it stays that way for a long time:

1. I get up around 6:30 am every weekday morning.

2. 6:45 am: Make a cup of coffee. Have breakfast with BelVita Bites and a glass of V8 Veggie Juices ( I like eating my BelVita Bites with some plain yogurt and often add chia seeds to my juice).

3. 7:15 am: Feed my dog and take him out.

4. 7:30 am: Workout time until 8:30 am.

5. Get to work! Snack on some more BelVita biscuits!

I’ve been very happy with my new morning routine. It definitely helps me stay active throughout the day!

What do you usually have for breakfast?

  1. Your healthy morning routine sounds awesome, Mira! I always try to have a balanced breakfast every morning too and these Belvita mini biscuits and V8 juices look so good! Definitely have to look out for them next time!

  2. BelVita cookies remind me so much of Romania and being in Europe! I used to eat Digestive cookies growing up there. Do you know those? So good!!!
