Food Label for Chocolate Scoops: Aero
Chocolate Scoops: AeroThis product is a treat, not a nutritional powerhouse. It's high in fat and sugar, typical for a chocolate confection. It can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. The Good: 1. Small portion size (36g): This helps with portion control, making it easier to fit into a treat allowance without overdoing it. 2. Low sodium: At 1% DV, it won't contribute significantly to your daily sodium intake. The Concerns: 1. High in added sugars (17-20g): Sugars are the first ingredient, meaning they are the most abundant. This is about 4-5 teaspoons of sugar per serving, which is significant for a small treat and can lead to blood sugar spikes. 2. High in saturated fat (6-7g, 31-36% DV): This is a substantial amount for a single serving, contributing significantly to your daily saturated fat limit. While some is from cocoa butter, modified palm oil is also present, which is higher in saturated fat. 3. Low in protein and fiber: These nutrients help with satiety and managing blood sugar, but are nearly absent here, meaning this treat won't keep you full. Enjoy these in moderation as an occasional treat. For a more satisfying snack, pair a small portion with something like a handful of nuts or a piece of fruit to add fiber and protein.
