Whole Grain Cereal - English Muffins: During the 80's and 90's manufacturers removed fat from packaged foods and replaced it with sugar to make up for taste or the lack of it. Whole grain cereal and English muffins may not seem sweet but they can contain surprisingly high sugar contents. Keep an eye on those nutrition labels.
Smoothies: Some experts say that the number one source of added sugar in our daily diets are beverages. Keep an eye on those healthy beverages as well. Some more popular smoothie recipes have up to 70 grams of total sugar. If in doubt about the sugar content of your favorite beverage, order a smaller size.
Low-Fat Dressings: Low fat and fat free dressings often contain sugar in place of the fattening oils. One way to save money and bypass these potential sugar bombs is to make your own dressing.
Pasta Sauce: Homemade recipes for pasta sauce call for a hint of sugar to add sweetness, but many commercial brands ad 6 grams or more per 4 ounce serving. Usually this is done because sugar is less expensive then the other ingredients. Next time you are shopping, check the ingredients and try to find a sauce that contains less sugar than your current favorite.
