The following five foods contain hidden sugars, including some that you wouldn't consider sweet.

Packed Juice

Packed juice may appear to be healthy, but if you read the nutritional label, you will find nothing but sugar.

Sports Drink

Sports drinks are intended to hydrate and fuel athletes, but the calories are all sugar.

Granola

Granola is frequently marketed as a low-fat health food, but the majority of the calories come from sugar.

Protein Bar

Protein-rich foods have long been thought to be healthy, but a closer examination reveals that they contain far more sugar than protein.

Iced Tea

Iced tea is typically sweetened with sugar or flavoured with syrup.

Pro-tip

Consuming homemade foods is the best way to avoid hidden sugars in your meals.
