Dried Fruits - Healthy Snacks

Dried strawberries

 I find dried fruits to be the healthiest snacks that satisfy a sweet tooth. Especially when you are on a diet and all you want to eat is something sweet just grab a handful of them. However, be careful since dried fruits contain high amounts of sugar that can ruin your diet. The best way to add some dried fruits to your diet is to eat a handful of these when you feel hungry in between meal times but no more than a handful if you are on a strict diet.

Dried pineapples

I mostly enjoy dried pineapples, strawberries, mangoes and cranberries. I try to look at the nutrition information of any packaged dried fruit before buying it because they can add sugar to them. If I don't have a choice, i.e. every brand has included additional sugar in the product then, I choose the dried fruit which has the lowest calorie.

Dried mangoes

I found this website: http://www.nutsonline.com/driedfruit/ that has a wide variety of dried fruits. I haven't ordered anything yet but once we're out of dried fruits at home I'm going to try them. I looked at most of their products and some of them but not all have additional sugar in them.

I also noticed that they have Turkish figs, yay!
