Eight "Healthy" foods that have more sugar than a donut


Round, glazed donuts on a wire cooling rack.

Breakfast is, without a doubt, the most important meal of every day. A healthy breakfast is a must to start your day. We also know what foods to avoid. But do we?

The soft, fluffy Krispy Kreme doughnuts are hard to resist with their sticky sweet glaze. It is possible to resist sugary treats, even though you know that sugar intake can cause serious health problems such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Even though it's a good breakfast choice, you may feel guilty if you eat a doughnut. Even though it's a bad breakfast choice, chances are that you're still eating healthy foods with as much or even more sugar throughout your day.

For example, a Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut has 10g of sugar. This figure can easily be exceeded by a single glass orange juice, or a cup yogurt with a few granola pieces.

The American Heart Association recommends that no more than 25g of added sugar be consumed per day. These foods that are high in hidden sugar could be detrimental to your health. These eight foods contain more sugar than a regular donut.

1. Chunky Ragu Tomatoes, Garlic & Onion

Tomato sauce can contain sugar, which helps to lower the acidity of tomatoes. However, jarred sauces tend to have a higher sugar content. Ragu's third ingredient is sugar. It has 12 grams per half-cup serving.

You can also use Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce instead, which has 4 grams of sugar per portion. You can also make your own sauce.

2. KIND Bar Apricots and Almonds in Yogurt

KIND Bar Almonds & Apricots In Yogurt has 17g of sugar per bar. They may be next to the candy bars in the checkout lane. This is yet another marketing trick, despite the fact that it mentions fruit, yogurt, and even granola. This is junk food disguised as food.

KIND offers delicious lower-sugar options like this Caramel Almond & Sea Salt variety, which has only 5 grams of sugar.

3. Ocean Spray Original Crains

Dried fruit has a higher sugar content than fresh fruit. Ocean Spray Original Craisins added sugar to the product to sweeten the deal, increasing its sugar content by 29 grams per 1/4-cup serving.

Instead of putting sugary craisins in your next salad, choose fresh fruits or low-sugar varieties.

4. Quaker Instant Oatmeal Apples & Cinnamon

Quaker Instant Oatmeal Apples & Cinnamon may appear to be a healthier option than a donut but it contains 12 grams of sugar. The label on the package's front is just a marketing stunt.

Quaker offers low-sugar options that can reduce the sugar by up to 35%. If you like the simplicity and delicious taste of this breakfast favorite, It is easy to make a batch at-home and it is an excellent way to control the sugar content.

5. Dannon Fruit on the Bottom Yogurt

A delicious snack made from the sweet and jammy fruit bits at the bottom of a creamy cup of yogurt. This variety has 21 grams of sugar per 5.3-ounce serving. That's equivalent to two doughnuts.

You can reduce the sugar content by switching to Greek yogurt alternatives such as Chobani Probiotics, which contains no added sugar.

6. Tropicana Original No Pulp Orange Juice

Orange juice is the most popular breakfast drink. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. Orange juice is high in sugar. One eight-ounce glass of Tropicana Original Orange Juice has 22 grams of sugar.

You don't have to stop drinking orange juice for good, but you can limit the amount you drink. You can substitute orange juice with TRUE ORANGE water enhancer powder. It contains less than one gram of sugar per cup.

7. Bear Naked Fruit And Nut Granola

Granola is a popular topping for yogurt, so it's not surprising. Granola is crunchy, sweet and delicious. If you're not careful, yogurt can easily be a sugary treat. This sweetener won't do any good if you add half a cup.

Half a cup bear naked fruit and nut granola will have 13 grams more sugar if you are careful about measuring. Ladera Granola has only 3g of sugar per 1/4 cup, so if you still want this delicious treat, you can give it a try.

8. Gatorade Fruit Punch

You will regret all the hard work you have put in to your workout if you decide to indulge in this sugary treat. Gatorade Fruit Punch is a 20 ounce, sugar-free beverage that contains 34 grams. This is equivalent to three donuts.

You might also consider natural electrolyte beverages, like Harmless Harvest coconut water. There are also electrolyte drinks without sugar. Ultima Replenisher is a favorite.
