21 Lowest Calorie Fruits For Weight Loss List

These 21 lowest calorie fruits will help you choose the fruit with the least calories so you can still get all the nutrients you need while you drop the fat.

21 Lowest Calorie Fruits For Weight Loss List

There are so many different ingredients you can put into a smoothie.

However, when you’re trying to lose weight, you want to regulate what you consume and keep tabs on your caloric intake for the day.

Calories can add up, but if you’re like me, you want to make smoothies that taste good.


** Please note that this post may contain affiliate links which means that I can receive a small payment if you make a purchase through my links.

Most of the time, a lot of their delicious flavor, particularly green smoothies, comes from the fruit you put in the mix.

I share a lot of recipes and provide the total amount of calories for each beverage along with other nutrition facts.

Naturally, the fruits add sweetness, but are you wondering how many calories they add in contribution to the total?

Well, today, I will share a list with 21 of the lowest calorie fruits I’ve researched. I’ll list them in ascending order for you.

Of course, you might not blend all these fruits in whatever various smoothies you make.

However, most fruits you get from the produce section at the supermarket don’t come with a “Nutrition Facts” label.

Therefore, knowing the fruits’ calorie count can help you make smart and fun choices when eating them, whether individually or in a blended creation.

This list of the lowest calorie fruits has been ordered from the lowest calorie fruit at the top of the list to the highest of the low-calorie fruits at the bottom of the list.  All fruits in this list contain low calories. 

I have also compared the calories per 150 grams of fruit.  This is approximately 1 to 1.5 cups of fruit, just to give you an idea if you don’t want to get your kitchen scales out. 

1) Watermelon

Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie
