Naturally Sweet Desserts to Trim Calories, Fat
Want something sweet in your weight loss plan yet nothing that's significant in caloric, fat or sodium content?
Look no further than in Mother Nature's healthy orchard filled with natural fruits. And oh - don't forget about all of those delicious berry bushes like the ones found in Farmer Smith's farm.

Whether that sweet globe or lip-shaped fruit comes from a bush, a garden or a tree - those commercially prepared desserts just pale in comparison, particularly when it comes to the healthy values contained therein.
This isn't to say that commercially prepared desserts - or even the homemade versions do not contain notes of health; many certainly do. But they also tend to contain sour notes of fatty acids and sugar grams which works to cancel out any healthy benefits that might have been garnered from a serving.
The fruits that are highest in sodium content include passion fruit and dried fruits - such as the apple rings posted in our data chart below.
In addition, we have included other popular desserts such as ice cream, pies and puddings and their sodium content for your review.
