Food Label for Waffle Cone Snacks: Muddy Bites
Waffle Cone Snacks: Muddy BitesThese are definitely a treat, not a health food. They're basically the sugary tip of an ice cream cone. Positives: 1. Small serving size: 6 cones is only 120 calories, which is reasonable for a small treat. Concerns: 1. High in added sugar: 9g of added sugar per serving is 18% of the daily value. That's quite a bit for such a small item. 2. Contains palm oil: While they claim it's RSPO certified (sustainable), palm oil is high in saturated fat and not the best for heart health compared to other oils. 3. Processed ingredients: The first ingredient is wheat flour (likely refined), followed by sugar and chocolate (which also contains sugar). Chicory root fiber is added for fiber, but the main components are not whole foods. Overall, these are fine as an occasional treat in moderation, but they shouldn't be a regular snack. If you're looking for a sweet treat with less added sugar, look for options made with real fruit or dark chocolate with lower sugar content.
