Dried fruits

Dried fruits are another seemingly innocent snack or flavor garnish, but their wimpy, shriveled appearance is not to be trusted. About 1 cup of dried apricots contains roughly 300 calories, while 1 cup of banana chips has about 480 calories with a whopping 13 grams of saturated fat! In other words, fresh fruit is always the better option.
