While they may seem like a nutritious choice, many protein bars are loaded with sugar, artificial additives, and unhealthy fats.
Pre-packaged smoothies often contain high levels of added sugar and artificial flavour, negating the health benefits of fruits and vegetables.
Most commercial bread varieties labelled as "wheat" or "multigrain" often contain refined flour and additives, lacking whole grains and fibre.
Convenient snacks like pre-packaged cheese and crackers or veggie chips can be high in sodium, saturated fats, and preservatives.
Many breakfast cereals marketed as "low-fat" or "whole grain" can still be packed with sugar, offering little nutritional value.
