Sugar
confusion?
Are you wondering about sugar
content in your mix1 lifestyle? Here are some things to
consider. Our mix1 product is sweetened with all natural,
fair-trade, organic cane sugar and is balanced by whey
protein isolate. Whey protein isolate has been shown to help
stabilize blood sugar by slowing the assimilation of
carbohydrates/sugar into the bloodstream. Plus you get 3
grams of fiber to further slow the sugar influx. It may be
helpful to know some of your other favorites and their sugar
content. Mind you, there is no fiber or protein in these
products to balance the sugar load:
Apple juice: 24 grams per 8 ounces
Cherry juice: 28 grams for 8 ounces
Blueberry-Pomegranate: 28 grams for 8 ounces
Apple cider: 30 grams per 8 ounces
Pineapple juice: 28 grams for 8 ounces.
Most of the fruit juice/smoothie blends that are on the
shelves today range between 25 grams to over 50 grams of
sugar per serving. mix1 contains 22 grams of sugar per 11
ounces of beverage (the equivalent of 16 grams per 8
ounces).
