Fruits and Juices
2- 4 Servings Daily

Recommendation:

Choose fresh fruits, fruit juices, and frozen, canned, or dried fruit. Go easy on fruits canned or frozen in heavy syrups and sweetened fruit juices.

Eat whole fruits often--they are higher in fiber than fruit juices.

Count only 100 percent fruit juice as fruit. Punches, "ades", such as lemonade, and most fruit "drinks" contain only a little juice and lots of added sugars.
