Sprinkles are difficult to resist because they have the power to take us back to our childhood years and add a pop of color to pretty much every dessert. That doesn’t necessarily mean they’re good for you, and here are five reasons why you should ditch them and never look back.
Sugar High
Sprinkles are pretty tiny, but don’t let that distract you from the fact they’re extremely high in sugar and that this happens to be their main ingredient.
Artificial Ingredients
Sprinkles wouldn’t be the same without their vibrant color, but this is usually achieved through artificial colors and flavors.
Questionable Taste
Sprinkles are one of those foods that taste nowhere near as good as they look. They may make your desserts more picture-perfect, but they’ll just distract from the real flavor instead of making it better.
Messy Topping
In addition to not really tasting like anything, sprinkles can make quite a mess, tumbling down onto the floor or into your shirt as you try to eat a tasty donut or a cupcake.
Better Alternatives
At the end of the day, you can ditch sprinkles because there are many other toppings you can use as a decoration instead, from chopped nuts and fruits to shaved chocolate.
