Thoughts on jelly?

[SmithJones]

Hi ya guys,
Well my mum just got back from shopping and got some of these powder packets of "hartleys sugar free jelly". Now its coming to these warm summer days I cant think of anything better than a nice big bowl of ice cold jelly after dinner. Is this stuff ok to eat? is it healthy? or do you guys not recommend it due to additives etc?
Thanks

sugar free jelly still means they add something in to make it sweet, plus it is a preserved food

so no it would not be healthy. my advice is just eat whole organic fruit if you like that sort of thing.

It isn’t ‘healthy’ but it won’t derail any fitness/body comp goals.

I see no reason you cant have some in moderation. Those things can be good dieting tools. I use sugar free syrup for my protein pancakes

I recommend you stop relying on mum to do the shopping for what you need.

As an occasional treat, there's no issue here, but you definitely do not want this to e a dietary staple.

Yeah go with fruit. Jelly is processed crap!
