7. Breakfast bars
If ever there was a food that has been marketed more as a healthy option when it isn't, you'd be hard-pressed to find one other than breakfast bars. Breakfast bars are often sold as options for athletes and those who exercise regularly and don't have time to make granola or muesli. Often, they are not as healthy as they claim to be. So be sure to read the label before purchasing them. As with many cereals, cereal bars are often loaded with sugar, most commonly sugar and honey syrups, which are used to bind everything together. Additionally, they lack protein because they are not accompanied by cow's milk or a dairy alternative, such as soy milk or almond milk. When we eat protein for breakfast, we stay fuller longer,
Choosing healthier versions with a glass of milk or with lower sugar content and no added sugar will benefit your health.
