Lighten Up Dessert by Taking Advantage of Mother Nature’s Candy

During the summer, don't forget to take advantage of the delicious fresh fruit that is in season. Fresh fruit, in general, contains less calories and more fiber than traditional desserts such as cookies, brownies, and cake.

Try grilled peaches and serving them with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a few sprigs of fresh mint, and a drizzle of honey for a tasty treat. Peaches are high in fiber and include a variety of vitamins and minerals. In terms of weight loss, they're also low in calories, with only 71 calories per cup, according to the USDA. Grilled pineapple with feta cheese crumbled and fresh mint is also a must-try.
