And when you spot them, you’ll want to aim to avoid them.
And some of these breakfast foods have half as much or more sugar than that.
Take a look below.
Granola bar = 1.5 fun-size Snickers bars
Granola bars are so sneaky.
That doesnt mean there arent healthier options out there.
She likes KINDs Madagascar Vanilla Almond Nuts & Spices Bar because it only has 4 grams of sugar.
A half-cup of flavored yogurt = 3 fun-size Snickers bars
Heres another sneaky devil.
But some flavored yogurts are mega added sugar bombs.
Some even have as much as 24 grams of sugar per half cup.
So check the ingredients list for those sneaky added sugars before making your selection.

One small muffin has as much sugar as 2.4 mini Snickers bars.
And most of that sugar is likely added.

At least its got nuts.
Again, thats 1.5 mini Snickers barsas much as some granola bars!
But most of the time, not so much.
And thats without milk.
Be sure to check out the label before you buy a box.
