Food Label for Muesli: Kellogg's Muesli Nuts
Muesli: Kellogg's Muesli NutsThis Kellogg's Muesli with Nuts is a decent option for a quick breakfast, especially when paired with milk. It offers some beneficial nutrients, but keep an eye on the sugar. The Good: 1. Good source of several B vitamins (Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, B6, B12) and Iron: These are essential for energy metabolism and overall health. 2. Contains dietary fiber (2.7g per serving with milk): Fiber aids digestion, helps with satiety, and can help regulate blood sugar. 3. Source of protein (9.7g per serving with milk): Protein contributes to satiety and helps maintain muscle mass. The Concerns: 1. Moderate Added Sugar (3.9g per serving with milk): While not excessively high, this still contributes to daily sugar intake. Look for muesli options with less added sugar if possible. 2. "Total Sugars" are high (21.7g per 100g): This indicates a significant amount of natural sugars from the dried fruits, which can still impact blood sugar if not balanced. This muesli can be a convenient breakfast choice. To make it a more balanced meal, consider adding a handful of unsalted nuts or seeds for extra healthy fats and protein, and some fresh berries for additional fiber and antioxidants. If you're looking to reduce sugar further, consider plain rolled oats and adding your own nuts and a small amount of fruit.
