Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Mixed Fruit Nectar
Metabolic Effect: Fruit nectars generally have a high sugar content and can raise blood sugar quickly. The fiber content is low, so the feeling of fullness is short-lived.
Consumption Recommendation: It is recommended to consume it diluted with water or with a fibrous food (e.g. a whole-grain cracker). This helps blood sugar rise more steadily.
Things to Consider: Fruit nectar may contain more sugar than fruit juice. A glass of fruit nectar may contain the equivalent calories of a few pieces of fruit.
Exercise Equivalent: You may need to walk at a light pace for about 30 minutes to burn the calories you get from a glass of fruit nectar. This helps you maintain your daily energy balance.
