7 Trader Joe’s Snacks That Are School Lunch Sugar Bombs
Sweet treats are a snack parents want to avoid, but sugar might be lurking in some seemingly nutritious items.
When it comes to packing a school lunch for their kids, health-conscious parents know to skip the Twinkies, candy bars, and other sugar-laden treats available at traditional grocery stores. Although Trader Joe’s appeals to conscious consumers looking for nutritious choices, plenty of snacks available at the grocery come packed with the sweet stuff. At the same time, nutritionists recommend that kids eat no more than six teaspoons, or 25 grams, of added sugar each day. How tough is it to keep daily consumption below that level? Check out the sugar content of seven Trader Joe’s products that seem perfect for school lunch.
