Not all fruits are created equal. Fruit is full of cancer-fighting phytonutrients and essential vitamins and minerals. But some fruit is filled with calorie-dense sugars, while others are free to eat to your heart’s content. Next time you make a fruit smoothie, make sure to consult this list to make sure you aren’t overloading on calories. A mango-pineapple fruit salad can easily run 500+ calories.
