Carefully, Fruit Juice Can Be "Junk Food"!


Smoothies or fruit juice can be a friendly snack time want to carry a healthy lifestyle. Through vitamins and minerals, fruits can be a daily nutritional supplement that can support the health of the body. Unfortunately, some of the additives in smoothies often damage the health of the fresh drinks. Of healthy snacks, become junk snack. Here it is additional material that should be avoided.

1. Adding fruit-flavored fat-free yogurt.
Although labeled fat free and is written based natural fruit, fruit-flavored yogurt in fact contains a lot of sugar. Interestingly, not only the sugar that becomes the main suspect who make a glass of juice to be less healthy, but not the fat content in the yogurt.
The reason, a study of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2015 found that a high fat serves to reduce the risk of diabetes could be caused by a product containing lots of sugar. Yes, fat is needed to be able to work together with calcium, protein, and vitamin D in order to prevent diabetes.
Better choice: plain yogurt with a higher protein content than sugar.

2. Adding fruit juice packaging.
Although labeled as natural fruit juices, bottled water or fruit juice turned out to be poor in fiber so it will not be filling. And when mixed with real fruit in a blender, then the properties of the original fruit fiber would be reduced. Coupled with the high amount of carbohydrates and sugar, these drinks will clearly frustrate the mission of someone who is dieting. The count, a glass of apple cider and orange mixture turned out to be equivalent to 3 medium-size sweet chocolate wrappers.
Better choice: green tea without sugar.

3. Add the ice cream.
A glass of fruit juice when coupled with one scoop of ice cream is no longer called health drinks, but a dessert. Calories not much different with one cup of ice cream Sundae.
Better choice: a handful of frozen fruit mixed with plain yogurt will produce a sensation like ice cream, without turning it into a dessert.

4. Using healthy ingredients excess.
Looking for a snack when hungry but did not want a flat stomach are damaged in vain, drinking a glass of juice avocado mixed with peanut butter taste delicious and safe. In fact, good eating too much fat it can backfire for health. Nutritionists advise, one serving of avocado is one fifth of the fruit, while a serving of peanut butter is as much as 2 tablespoons.
A better option: replace the peanut butter with 2 tablespoons of almond butter.

5. Adding a sweetener other than sugar.
Feel guilty add sugar to fruit juices you, eventually the choice fell on 1 tablespoon of natural honey. Indeed feel more healthy, but in reality honey also contains sugar which is quite a lot.
Better choice: take advantage of the fruit with a sweet taste or almond milk to create a more natural sweetness.

6. Based of canned fruit.
Using canned fruit as the main ingredient fruit juice tasted very practical. In fact, in a can of canned fruit are 2 tablespoons of sugar, artificial flavorings, natural fiber that is lost because it is served without the skin, and has lost vitamin because the packaging process. In fact, it could be a shortcut to add fat in the abdomen.
Better choice: freeze your fresh fruits to produce fresh juice.
