American Heart Association experts recommend men shouldn't eat more than 36 grams of added sugar a day and women should limit their sugar consumption to 25 grams.
So a single Krispy Kreme doughnut, which has 10 grams of sugar, takes up a good bulk of your recommended daily intake.
But healthy sounding snack replacements such as yogurt and raisins can actually rack up more sugar than you might think. And several options even have more than double the sugar of a Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnut.
Here are 11 foods and drinks with more sugar than a Krispy Kreme doughnut:
Bottle of Naked juice green machine smoothie: 53 grams or about five Krispy Kreme original glazed doughnuts
¼ cup of Sun Maid raisins: 29 grams or three Krispy Kreme doughnuts
