Granola and protein bars
Granola and protein bars are often considered a quick breakfast. However, many prepackaged packaging types contain a lot of sugar, sweeteners and fat. The small portion of the crust on the label makes it easy for the owner to consume too much.
According to Jamie Johnson, nutritionist at Eat This, Not That! (US), ProcessedGranola is sometimes not much different from sweets if eaten regularly and without portion control.
crispy snacks made from vegetables
French fries with vegetables, seem healthy, but in fact are still deep-fried and seasoned with salt. The real vegetables are usually very small, mainly starch for color and crunchiness.
Bottled smoothies
Smoothies are considered a good choice for family breakfast. However, bottled smoothies often contain high sugar, low fiber and large portions, easily causing energy intake to exceed demand.
Foods listed as fat-free, sugar-free
When removing fat or sugar, manufacturers often add add additives to preserve the flavor. This makes poor products more nutritious than natural foods.
Gluten-free products
For people without celiac disease, gluten-free foods do not bring clear health benefits. Many types of gluten-free bread and pasta are rich in refined starch and low in fiber.
Processed plant-based meat and milk
canned "vehicle meat" and "tical milk" products are often deeply processed, containing a lot of salt and fat. Not all products provide enough protein and micronutrients needed for family meals.
According to Jamie Johnson (USA), "Healthy eating is not about eye-catching labeling, but about the processing level and ingredient list. The closer the food is to nature, the more beneficial it is for health.
For housewives, smart choices are not to follow the trend, but to keep family meals simple, balanced and with as few additions as possible.
