Choose mini speculaas biscuits if you want to portion out a small amount at home to take in your gym bag. A small biscuit doesn’t make the whole pack a single portion. Albert Heijn lists a portion size of 9 g for its AH Mini Speculaas biscuits, while a standard Lotus Biscoff biscuit weighs 7.8 g according to Jumbo, so you can also take one biscuit at a time. Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging when choosing.
You want to take a small amount with you rather than eating from a whole packet on the way. The weight of each biscuit or the stated portion size can help; a mini size doesn’t, by itself, tell you anything about its nutritional value.
You want to check before buying whether a biscuit suits your preferences around ingredients and allergens. Speculaas biscuits made with butter can differ from standard or filled speculoos biscuits.
You’re looking for an option that’s practical to buy again. Check its current availability in store, especially if it’s sold as a seasonal item.
First decide how many biscuits you want to take with you. Then compare the ingredients and check whether you’ll be able to buy the same pack again.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|

For around 42% of shoppers, being able to portion out a small amount in advance is the priority. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients and allergen information on the current packaging. Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and for the amount you plan to take. | If I need to avoid certain ingredients or want to compare what’s in each product, a mini size alone isn’t enough to help me choose. Around 33% of shoppers prioritise ingredients, allergens or nutritional information. |
| Being able to buy it again | Check whether the product is currently available in store or online, especially if it’s a seasonal item. | I want to be able to buy the same biscuits again without relying on a limited-time range. Around 25% of shoppers prioritise being able to buy the product again. |
A smaller biscuit makes it easier to portion out a few biscuits, but it doesn’t change the nutritional value of the product. The Netherlands Nutrition Centre points out that many snacks are high in energy, sugars, salt or saturated fat.
Decide why you’re taking the snack with you, then check the packaging for the nutritional information for the amount you actually plan to eat.
Nutritional information per 100 g highlights differences between products, but it doesn’t tell you how much of each product you’ll take with you.
First compare the same quantity, then decide on your portion in biscuits or grams.
