1. Low Fat Yogurt

Yogurt is one of the leading foods in terms of nutritional content. It is usually praised for containing protein and fiber, and is good for the digestive tract. However, not all yogurts are the same. Low-fat yogurts are often high in sugar to enhance their flavor. Especially flavored yogurts with certain toppings added.

To get the maximum benefits, choose the type of yogurt that contains less sugar among the many yogurt brands. Compare the sugar content per serving by looking at the nutritional information. Instead of choosing the ones with toppings, add your own at home, for example with fruits or nuts.

2. Sauces

Did you know, Ladies, that the sauces we often use are quite high in sugar. For example spaghetti sauce, barbeque sauce, teriyaki sauce, bulgogi sauce, even chili sauce to tomato sauce. Actually, it is still okay to consume, but make sure the amount is controlled. Double-check the nutritional information on the packaging.

Despite their savory or sour taste, sauces are also high in sugar.

3. Packaged Fruit Juice

The first thought that comes to mind when thinking of fruit juice is the word "healthy". Indeed, fruit provides vitamins and minerals to the body, but pay attention to what fruit juice you are consuming. Packaged fruit juices, boxed or bottled, are generally high in sugar per serving, perhaps even similar to the sugar content of sugary drinks.

4. Packaged Milk

Similar to packaged fruit juices, the thing we always remember about packaged milk is that it is a source of protein and calcium. However, the majority of flavored milk will be high in sugar. Therefore, try to compare each brand. Choose the one that is the lowest in sugar, while keeping in mind its contribution to your protein and calcium intake.

5. Energy Drinks

Energy drinks are often consumed by people who exercise regularly. But be aware, these drinks are meant to fuel and hydrate the body during long periods of exercise. Therefore, these drinks are formulated to be high in sugar, as they are easily absorbed and utilized.

6. Packaged Coffee

Apart from juice and milk, coffee is also widely sold in packaged form, be it boxes or bottles. One of the purposes of consuming this drink is to refresh the eyes, but make no mistake, the sugar content is also quite high. Therefore, it is still better to consume homemade coffee, so that the sugar can be adjusted.

7. Granola

Granola is gaining popularity because it is claimed to be a low-fat food. But in fact, most foods actually contain high calories and sugar. This is because in the production process, granola will be added with honey, sweeteners, or nuts. Instead of making it as a main meal, it is better to use granola only as a topping.

8. Breakfast Cereal

Breakfast cereals are indeed a quick and easy food to consume, especially products that are intended for children to consume. But in reality, there are many brands that actually contain quite high sugar. Therefore, try to review the nutritional information label again. If the breakfast cereal is combined with high-sugar milk, the daily sugar consumption will be higher.

Many breakfast cereal products are high in sugar content

These are some of the foods and beverages that contain hidden sugar, even though we consider them to be healthy products. The point is, make it a habit to read the nutritional information on the packaging. Compare between several brands, then choose which one has the least sugar. Don't you agree, Ladies?
