⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The reduced fat can result in a less creamy mouthfeel and a tendency to melt faster. Its 20.93g of sugar per 100g means it can cause blood sugar spikes, so those monitoring intake should practice portion control. Pairing it with a source of protein or healthy fat (like nuts) can help slow sugar absorption.
