"I Tried It!": Chick-fil-A Fruit Cup

Having had the experience of ordering a fruit cup at other restaurants only to receive a dollop of canned fruit, I was a little reticent to try again at the chicken restaurant, Chick-fil-A. But, I was in a bit of a pickle, because I was saving major calories for later on in the day, but I had to meet a friend there (she ordered the chicken biscuit and at nearly 400 calories, it was so off-limits!). But I just couldn't stare at her while she ate, right?

Well, I am pleased to say that the fruit cup at Chick-fil-A leaves all those other fruit cup offerings in the dust. The fruit is most definitely fresh, not canned or frozen, and very flavorful. It featured firm grapes, tart apple cubes, flavorful strawberries and more. At only 50 calories, I enjoyed this cup in the time it took my pal to chow down her biscuit (yummy, fresh fruit requires lots of chewing!). It was very refreshing (Which is not what she was saying about that heavy biscuit in an hour or so!) and a great way to start the day. I think it would also make a healthy dessert option at lunch or dinner.
