“Breakfast Sugar Overload - Beware”

★★★☆☆

written by SEKinloch1 on 25/02/2017

The breakfast served on long-haul comprised of orange juice from concentrate, a fruit flavoured yoghurt and a muffin.
When I read the ingredients I realised that there was no way I was prepared to give it to my daughter who is 2.5yrs. World Health Organisation guidelines for the maximum amount of sugar that an adult can consume is about 8 teaspoons. For a child it is more like 2 or 3.
Based on 1 teaspoon being 4 or 5 gs of sugar then your breakfast offered the following:
Orange Juice: 3
Fat Free Yoghurt: 4
Muffin: 8
Bringing the total to 15 teaspoons - and this is just the added sugar, before the natural sugars are included, which makes the muffin more like 11 or 12. So all in all, the sugar they provided is approaching 20 teaspoons – for breakfast!
On top of this, the muffin and the yoghurt were only 52g and 100g, which means that all that sugar was consumed in a miniscule portion, so we were hungry again as soon as we got off the plane!

Also, the seats don't recline.
