Oatmeal

It’s a whole grain, healthy grab-and-go breakfast, and easily topped with other healthy side dishes like berries, bananas, and nuts. So what could be bad about oatmeal? Flavored packets contain more sugar and sodium than regular rolled or steel-cut oats. Plain instant oatmeal packets are great. Make a packet, then stir in natural peanut butter. You can also try adding cinnamon, vanilla extract, cacao nibs, or unsweetened coconut flakes for a sugar-free flavor.

Dried Fruits

Even if most people would not expext it, because it looks healthy at first glance, packaged food is like a sugar bomb. So make sure the dried fruit you buy doesn’t have any added sugar. It’s also important to be aware of portion size, since dried fruit, whether store-bought or not, contains high levels of natural sugars.
