Daily Fit Tip: Choose dried fruit carefully
Categories: Daily Fit Tip
For people on the go, dried fruit is a perfect high-energy, portable snack that's packed with nutrition. But as this article from eDiets points out, not all dried fruit is created equal.
Be sure to read the back of the package before you buy and make sure that fruit is the number one ingredient on the list. If the product contains added sugars (who needs to add sugar to something already so naturally sweet?) or fats, it's not a good choice. Instead, look for products that contain few or no added ingredients beyond the tasty, delicious fruit.
A little dried fruit packs a powerful punch, both nutritionally and in calories, so keep that in mind while you munch away on this tasty treat.
