Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Fruit Parfait
Metabolic Effect: Fruit parfait provides vitamins and fiber thanks to the fruits it contains, but it also contains sugar and fat. This combination can affect blood sugar unevenly and cause sudden energy increases.
Consumption Recommendation: It is important to pay attention to portion control when consuming fruit parfait. Consuming it with a food containing protein or healthy fats can help blood sugar to stay more balanced. For example, a handful of almonds or some yogurt can be added.
Things to Consider: Ready-made fruit parfait products usually contain high amounts of added sugar. Therefore, it is a healthier option to choose homemade versions prepared with natural sweeteners.
Exercise Equivalent: You may need to walk at a moderate pace for about 28 minutes to burn the calories from one serving of fruit parfait. Alternatively, 14 minutes of running can provide the same effect.
