4. Banana Split

A little vanilla, a little chocolate and a little strawberry go in the cup (to the tune of 6 ounces) and you crown them with 6 banana slices and 4 tablespoons hot fudge sauce. Skinny banana split? Not really. Froyo may be fat-free but it’s plenty high in sugar (sugar is often the second ingredient.) Coupling a big portion (213 calories) with a few banana slices is ok. But a fourth cup of hot fudge sauce adds another 266 calories, most of it sugar with a little bit (7grams) fat. Total damage: 479 calories, 94 grams carbs.
