15. Which one of the following foods is an example of a healthy dessert treat?
A. Frozen pudding with sliced almonds
B. Ice cream and sliced bananas
C. Lemon cream pie and dairy-based whipped topping
D. Sorbet with fresh berries
Answer (2)
The food that is an example of a healthy dessert treat is D - sorbet with fresh berries. Sorbet is a frozen dessert which is typically made from fruit puree and fruit juice. It contains the least sugar and fat. The other options are all made up of an unhealthy option. The unhealthy ingredients in the Lemon cream pie and dairy-based whipped topping are sugar, eggs and cream, amongst other ingredients. Although the other two desserts contain healthy foods such as almonds and bananas, they also contain ice cream and frozen dessert. These are both unhealthy and outweigh the health benefits of the nuts and fruit.
The healthiest dessert option is D - sorbet with fresh berries, as it is lower in sugar and fat compared to the other choices. Sorbet is typically made from fruit, making it a lighter, more nutritious treat. The other options contain higher sugar and fat levels, making them less healthy.
