⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high sugar content (over 44g per 100g) can lead to rapid blood-sugar spikes and subsequent energy crashes, making it a poor choice for sustained energy or for those managing blood sugar levels. To mitigate this, pair a smaller portion (about 1/2 cup) with a source of protein or healthy fat, like Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts, to slow sugar absorption and increase satiety.
