Range of Dole Fruit Pots and Calories

Eating a wide variety of fruit is fantastic for helping us stay healthy. It’s also perfect for slimmers who want to snack on something sweet without worrying about calories.

But if you’re a bit bored with apples and bananas, or you’re struggling to get children to eat more fruit, Dole fruit pots provide a convenient alternative to fresh fruit.

There are four varieties: 'fruit in juice', 'fruit in light syrup', 'fruit in fruit jelly' and 'fruit in vanilla flavoured custard'. Most are under 100 calories per pot.

The table below shows the varieties and calorie values for each type of fruit pot.

Diet tip
If you’re trying to save a few more calories, drain away the juice or syrup. For example, the 113g Tropical Fruit in Juice pot has 60 calories including the juice, but once drained this comes down to just 37 calories.

Dole fruit pots are ideal for children’s lunch boxes, taking to work or simply stocking up at home. They don't need refrigeration and can be stored in the cupboard.

You can find Dole Fruit pots in the canned fruit aisle of larger supermarkets where they're sold in individual pots and/or four packs.
