Factors to Consider When Enjoying a Gü
Desserts like the Gü Zillionaire are designed as an occasional treat. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
Caloric Density
Both versions are calorie-dense, meaning they pack a lot of calories into a small serving size. This is primarily due to the high fat and sugar content.
Sugar Intake
With nearly 30g of sugar per pot, a single Zillionaire makes up a significant portion of an adult's recommended daily sugar intake.
Saturated Fats
Saturated fat is also high in both the classic and plant-based versions. The plant-based version surprisingly has a slightly higher amount of saturated fat, which comes from the coconut oil used as a dairy alternative.
Conclusion
A single classic Gü Zillionaire pot contains roughly 369 calories, while the plant-based option has about 332 calories. While delicious, this dessert is an indulgent treat high in fat and sugar. Enjoying it occasionally as part of a balanced diet and active lifestyle is the best approach.
