Frozen yogurt is often seen as a guilt-free alternative to ice cream, but many varieties are packed with added sugars to compensate for the lack of fat. Some contain artificial sweeteners and stabilizers that can disrupt gut health. A single serving can have as much sugar as a slice of cake! If you love frozen yogurt, opt for plain, unsweetened varieties and add fresh fruit for natural sweetness.

Fruit juices, even those labeled "100% natural," can be misleadingly unhealthy. When fruit is juiced, the fiber is stripped away, leaving behind a concentrated source of sugar that can cause blood sugar spikes and contribute to weight gain. A glass of orange juice can contain as much sugar as a soda! Instead of juice, opt for whole fruits, which provide fiber, vitamins, and a slower release of natural sugars.
