Fifty 50 Sugar Free Calories: 5 * Carbs: 3g

Even diabetics don't deserve food this flavorless and bland. Fifty 50 tastes exactly like strawberry Jell-O--watery and artificial, with nary a spec of real fruit.

Bionature Organic Fruit Spread Calories: 30 * Carbs: 8g

Don't be turned off by the weird brown color or the even weirder texture: Bionature Organic has a delicious fresh berry taste and is packed with ample chunks of real fruit and seeds. A definite winner!
