Guys. Please!! Does a spoon of this count as a snack??? It can't possibly. It's nuts right? Right???

annefood 8yr Hey @Philippa ! Good question. While nutella does contain nuts, unfortunately the first ingredient is sugar. If you have a tiny taste, count it as 1/2 free pass in your Avoid Sweets Challenge. If you have a whole spoonful, take a full pass. -
Philippa 8yr Ha I figured. The worst. Avoiding it. -
annefood 8yr @Philippa yeah unfortunately nutella is not the best when it comes to nutrition. If you're craving a spoonful of something, try a spoonful of peanut butter. Not the same chocolatey sweetness, but it's delicious, crave-able, and packed with protein so it won't spike your blood sugar levels. Plus, no free pass needed! (Just make sure to get peanut butter without added sugar—some companies sneak it in there...)

Nainiac 8yr I dream of Nutella also.... natural PB sounds like a great idea! Will try that! -
KyFish 8yr I learned a trick about nutrition labels - that the ingredients are listed in order of their prominence. Therefore if sugar is near the front of the list, I know I should be skeptical of any health claims.
