A lot of food and drinks that we consume on a daily basis can contain hidden sugar, and we’re often not aware of that. These sneaky foods can make it really difficult for us to reduce the amount of sugar we eat every day. Here are some foods and drinks that you probably didn’t know contain sugar.
Protein Bars
Protein bars are often considered healthy but most of them do actually hide sugar or unhealthy sweeteners. That’s why it could be smart to avoid eating protein bars often, or at least choose the ones that are lower in sugar.
Granola
Granola has become one of the most popular healthy breakfast foods, but that probably isn’t the case if you’re buying granola. Store-bought granola is often packed with added sugar so make sure to read the labels or make your own granola at home.
Beverages
Keep in mind that a lot of drinks we consume regularly such as soda, iced tea, cocktails, or even drinks that are considered healthy like lemonade or smoothies are surprisingly high in sugar.
Bread
Even though the amount of sugar that certain brands of bread contain is still not very significant, it’s worth knowing that this is also one type of food that can contain hidden sugar.
