When you look on a food label or ingredient list for one of your favorite snacks or meals.. do you know what all those words mean?

Our wellness coaches had each of us bring in a food label and then helped us to breakdown the ingredient list. I brought Nature Valley bars- I like them because they’re sweet and they’re super easy to just grab in the morning when I’m running out the door.

Tip: The first three ingredients are what to consider most!

We learned that there are 100+ names to identify sugar and sugar alcohols. For example, I had not heard of Coconut Sugar- adding it to the list.
