With our detox right around the corner, I encourage you to use the list below and start identifying some common hidden names for sugar. Food companies often use these hidden names (there are over 60 names for processed sugar!), which means most of us are probably consuming more sugar than we thought. 😮

Sneaky sugars are everywhere, and if you’re not paying attention, they’ll sneak right up on you! Check out some of these common foods that contain hidden sugars:

📌 low-fat yogurt

📌 barbecue sauce, ketchup, spaghetti sauce

📌 fruit juice, sports drinks, flavored coffee

📌 granola, protein bars, instant oatmeal, cereal

📌 canned fruit and dried fruit

📌 canned baked beans

📌 premade smoothies and soups

There are many more foods like this that line the grocery aisles.

Did you know that maple syrup contains essential nutrients your body needs? Not only that, but it also has antioxidants. Just make sure you choose 100% maple syrup with no added sugars for the healthiest benefits. It tends to be high in calories. A little goes a long way and is a great alternative sweetener to processed sugar! (Also, do you think maple syrup only pairs well with pancakes? Think again! Maple syrup is delicious with savory foods like baked beans and ribs! 😍
