Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Homemade Fruit Milk
Metabolic Effect: Fruit milk is a quick source of energy due to the fruit sugar and lactose in the milk. However, the high amount of simple sugars can quickly raise and lower blood sugar levels, which can cause sudden hunger.
Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming fruit milk alone, consuming it with a fibrous snack (e.g., a handful of almonds or a few whole wheat biscuits) helps you create a more balanced meal. This keeps blood sugar more stable.
Things to Consider: A glass of fruit milk may contain sugar equivalent to about 1-2 servings of fruit. It is important for those with diabetes or those who want to control their weight to pay attention to their portions. Excessive consumption can lead to weight gain and other health problems.
Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from a glass of fruit milk, you may need to walk at a moderate pace for about 25-30 minutes. This is equivalent to about 140 calories. Regular exercise helps you balance the excess calories brought by fruit milk.
