Kellogg's To Go - Good/Bad???

ggillen412

So my wife got Kelloggs To Go shakes. The taste isn't bad but I am worried about the 18g of sugar per bottle. I have been trying to stick to as little sugar as possible (less than 10g per serving). When I have time in the morning I will go with eggs or a healthier option but I'm thinking about using it for my mornings I am running late. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!

Is that 18g of sugar added sugar or from natural ingredients?

Good question. I wonder if it's possible to find out? They don't have to tell you how much comes from what sources if I remember right.

Also poor Kellog. He's probably rolling in his grave right now.

Given the ingredient list, I'm going with "added" sugar. Fooducate gave it a D.

sugar is the third ingredient, corn syrup (aka sugar) is a bit further down the list.

Fascinated by "sweetened by nutritive and non-nutritive sweeteners.

Seems there are better alternatives, then. Also now that I've read about the whole heavy metals protein powder thing, I'll be checking every liquid or powdered anything I buy for those, too.
