Fresh fruit: All fresh fruits on the WW diet have zero points, including apricots, apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, plums, pineapple and grapes. Canned fruit in its own juice also has zero points, along with frozen fruit without added sugar.
Dried fruit: But dried fruit is a different story. A quarter-cup serving of raisins, dried figs or dried apricots has 4 points, while the same serving of dates has 6 points.
Dried fruit does have a place in a healthy diet, but be mindful of the portion you consume.

A half-cup serving of mandarin oranges packed in light syrup has 5 points, and a half-cup serving of fruit salad in heavy syrup has 7 points.
