Fast Fruit! Stop off at a produce market on the way home and treat yourself to some fresh fruit for dessert…just the thing to add some fiber and cleanse the palate!

The range of desserts available in fast-food outlets is limited and the desserts themselves are high in fat, sugar and calories. It is best to avoid them altogether.
