Kanira reviews assert the brand delivers a healthy, thoughtfully branded breakfast biscuit that works as a convenient tea- or coffee-dunk companion but divides taste testers: reviewers praise clean ingredients, chai and turmeric flavors, and resealable, eye-catching packaging while repeatedly criticizing a dry, dense, sandy texture and generally muted flavor intensity. This helps buyers who prioritize nutrition and unique spice profiles but warns those seeking moist, sweet, or crisp cookies that Kanira may disappoint.

I was excited to have a breakfast snack to hold me over until lunch but not be so high in calories. The flavors sounded so yummy but they did not deliver in flavor and texture. I was not able to finish even one cookie, let alone a bag. I am not brave enough yet to try the other bags. I am not sure how to even describe it, but it was not good!

My first impression after receiving my breakfast biscuits is how bright and attractive the packaging is. Brilliant, earthy colors which are appropriate for what this company represents. Also, the bags are resealable… they thought of everything. I am a big snacker so I was happy to try a healthier option. These are made with prebiotic fiber, and plant protein. I appreciate that these biscuits have lower sugar and calories compared to similar big box store items. Out of the 3 flavors, I will say that chai spice is my favorite. It is the most flavorful, and I believe the tastiest. I did not care for the coconut & cardamom. Its taste was too light, and was completely washed out by my beverages. Some that are new to healthier snacks may not be use to the texture of the biscuits. However I find them to be on par with any other healthier choice product. That is the result when you do not use a bunch of excess sugars, artificial preservatives etc. Overall, I would recommend.

Loved the biscuits. I was amazed how good they tasted given the ingredients. I love my cookies with my chai but it would always spike my insulin and was so ecstatic to find something that didn’t and was infact not empty calories

Hoping to see it on more retail shelves so it’s easier to grab. Rooting for you guys

I thought the packaging was super cute and love the idea of these, but u fortunately they tasted a little bland.

Was oddly tasteless and looked like a dog biscuit. Was hard to finish.
I loved these soft little breakfast biscuits. I received three flavors to test and I enjoyed one per day with an iced coffee at work. I especially liked that the had a low amount of sugar in them, as I don't like to start the day with a lot of sugar. Turmeric & Ginger was my favorite flavor but the Chai Spice and Coconut & Cardamom were also tasty. I would buy these again.

I like the idea of these more than the actual taste. The packaging and size of a serving is good. I like the flavors and they do go well with coffee or tea. I’m not a huge fan of the mouth feel of them and they are pretty dry.

I think people who didn't like these, didn't get that you are meant to dip them in your tea. If you do that they are really quite tasty and have a great nutrition profile.

Like many other testers, I was soooo excited to try these. I always have something like this with my morning coffee- and the flavors are fun and right up my ally. I love that there are a lot of excellent whole grains integrated. So many good things, but I think the recipe and production needs some tweaking. The flavor was quite good (although I honestly couldn't tell the difference between the three), but the texture is really difficult to get through. Very hard and chewy, it actually hurt my jaw a bit to get through. Kind of unpleasant to eat, which was sad. I'd definitely try again if they change up their recipe- because the concept and idea is great and resonates with me.

Not as delicious as expected, but not bad, either! Mostly just super hard. Great to dip in coffee or tea!

I really wanted to love these (such a cute package, love the vibes and the premise so much), but taste and texture aren't right for me. It's neither a crunchy or crisp biscuit nor a soft or chewy texture. Might be great for someone who prefers that dense texture but just not for me!

At first I was really skeptical about these, they are really... dense. But after the first I wanted another, then another. I got used to the grainy texture, and I like that they are not sweet (as I expected them to be). I'm not a gluten free person so I have no idea if that density is common in gluten free baked goods., so I'm not sure they are really something I'd re-purchase - but I would reccommend them to a gluten free friend.

I love the sustainability mission behind this brand, unfortunately the taste was not there for me. It was just okay. I tried the coconut and cardamom one and didn't like it ad honestly forgot I had them. I think the small packs could be great to throw in a backpack for travel or a hike. I wouldn't repurchase them.

These were not at all what I was expecting, but I think I love them! They are a dense, dry, and not too sweet biscuit. Theyre small, but the texture precludes them from being a one-bite snack. I liked them best with coffee or tea. I found each flavor to be distinct, if subtle. Something about them makes me want to be nibbling on them while hiding from a drizzle in a tent with a cup of cocoa made on a trail stove, or curled up in a chair with a book during a snowstorm, They seem to inspire my brain to slow down - who knew a cookie could provoke mindfulness?

The coconut and cardamom is not my favorite, I love the flavor of coconut and was sadly disappointed. The chi and turmeric is so good, definitely needs to be had w somethings sweet.

I feel like these are good in a pinch, but I wish they were more flavorful

We love the principles here... the brand is great and colorful, the promises of plant protein, gluten-free, prebiotic, climate-friendly, dairy-free and a good source of iron, all resonate with our family's approach to food. Unfortunately, our support ends there as these biscuits were pretty unpalatable. None of my teenagers (who eat everything!) could finish them. While there's clearly some flavor differences, they all look and feel a bit like cardboard. We REALLY wanted to love them but they need some work.

Tried these on a drop and I enjoyed all the flavors! I like that they had a balance, not TOO sweet to be called a dessert, not too savory to be a salt bomb. The spices really stand out. My only minor critique is that consistency: when first opened was nice and chewy, but a few days later the biscuits got kind of dry and tough, like a thick cracker (I still ate them tho).

These are fine and for someone who needs gluten free and limited plant based ingredients it is probably worth the price. I bought the sample trio through a thing drop so a hearty discount however I probably won’t purchase again. They have a toothiness/chewiness which grew on me and the flavor is good. Due to the coconut, they are too high in saturated fat for me however I appreciate the respectable blend of grains. There are certain diets for whom I might recommend and if they are in my local market I might pick them up on occasion but I’m not a big enough fan to order from their site.

If you're imagining traditional American breakfast vibes with these biscuits, you will be disappointed. I recommend adjusting expectations. The Chai Spice flavor is very nice, but the texture leaves a lot to be desired, IMO, even when dunking. I don't see myself opting for these in any instance, I'd personally rather have a piece of toast. But yes, they're convenient and I like that there's no refined sugars or preservatives.
