FORAGING FOR FRUIT

What's the difference between Breyers Pure Fruit Bars, Tropicana Real Fruit Bars, and Edy's (Dreyer's) Fruit Bars ("Made With Real Fruit")?

You'd never know from the names.

It turns out that most Breyers have more sugar than fruit, while most Tropicahas have more fruit (or juice) than sugar. As for Edy's (Dreyer's on the West Coast), it depends on the flavor: Cherry, Grape, and Strawberry strawberry, any plant of the genus Fragaria of the family Rosaceae (rose family), low herbaceous perennials with edible red fruits, native to temperate and mountainous tropical regions. The European everbearing strawberry (F.  have more fruit than sugar, while Wildberry, Lime, Tangerine tangerine: see orange.
tangerine

Small, thin-skinned variety of the mandarin orange species (Citrus reticulata deliciosa) of the rue family (citrus family).
, and Lemonade have more sugar than fruit or juice.

You can save 30 to 50 calories with a no-sugar-added bar. Tropicana Real Fruit No Sugar Added is the only line we found that has no acesulfame potassium, the poorly tested artificial sweetener. Each bar has a barely-worth-counting 20 calories.

But if it's fruity intensity you're after, try a Palapa Azul Palapa Azul is a frozen-desserts company based in Los Angeles, California. The company, founded in 2002 by Mexico City natives Roni Goldberg and Michel Algazi, produces Mexican-style ice cream, sorbet, and frozen fruit bars that are sold in retail stores throughout the United  (70-calorie) Mango Fruit Bar. It's like frozen mango on a stick.

GREATER THAN THE SUM

Add chocolate coating to ice cream and you boost the bad fat. Add fruit (or fruit-flavored sorbet, ices, or sherbet sher·bet

 sherbet. It's got just 1 grain of bad fat and only 70 to 100 calories (depending on the size).

No Sugar Added or Sugar-Free Creamsicles cut the calories to around 20, but they use poorly tested acesulfame potassium to get there. Instead, look for Tropicana Lights or No Sugar Added Swirls, which throw in some orange juice or strawberries and use Splenda and sugar alcohols to cut the calories to 50 to 60. Mmmm.

Concoctions that swirl fruit (or sherbet, sorbet, etc.) throughout the cream (or yogurt yogurt: see fermented milk.
