Orange Lightning

Many foods seem healthy but are unhealthy due to hidden sugars, fats, and processed ingredients that reduce their nutritional value, here are some to see.

1

Multi-Grain Bread

Most multi-grain breads contain enriched wheat flour, not whole grains. Opt for breads listing whole grains as the first ingredient.

2

Flatbread

Flatbreads are dense and calorie- rich, often surpassing regular bread, Consider using romaine lettuce or open-faced sandwiches instead.

3

Yogurt

Flavoured and frozen yoghurts are high in sugar, choose plain Greek yoghurt and add fresh fruit for natural sweetness.

4

Energy Bars

Energy bars often resemble candy in sugar and calories, Opt for bars with simple, whole ingredients or skip altogether.

5

Crunchy Snacks

Packaged crunchy snacks are often calorie-dense with little nutrition, Replace with raw veggies and hummus or peanut butter.

6

Dried Fruit

Dried fruit is calorie-dense and easy to overeat, choose whole, fresh fruits like apples, oranges, or bananas instead.

7

Plant-Based Milks
