Happy Friday, !

Sugar can be SNEAKY….and it’s hiding in plain sight in many of the foods that we “think” are healthy. 

If you're busy with work and trying to make healthier choices, you’ll want to be on the lookout for these foods that might sabotage your energy, weight loss efforts, or workout recovery.

Here are 7 sneaky (& unexpected!) places added sugars can be hiding:

1. Instant Oatmeal Packets: These are usually loaded with sugar. Go for plain oats and add natural sweetness with fresh fruit.
2. Non-Dairy Milks: Almond, oat, and other plant-based milks are usually sweetened. Opt for the “unsweetened” versions to skip the extra sugar.
3. Nut Butters: Check those labels! Many brands add sugar to make it sweeter. Look for all-natural options made with just nuts and salt.
4. Dried Fruit: Even “healthy” dried fruit can be loaded with sugar, especially things like dried cranberries. Choose brands with no added sugar or stick to fresh fruit.
5. Granola Bars: Marketed as a healthy snack, but many have as much sugar as candy bars! Choose bars with minimal sugar and real, whole ingredients.
6. Flavored Yogurt: Fruit-flavored yogurts can be sugar bombs. Stick with plain Greek yogurt and add your own berries or honey.
7. Salad Dressings: Store-bought dressings often sneak in a LOT of sugar. Make your own with olive oil, vinegar, and fresh herbs.

For me, switching to unsweetened almond milk and plain Greek yogurt made a huge difference in cutting down my sugar intake.
