Dates as fruit serving

[Guest]

I have a ton of fruit allergies- basically all I can eat are bananas, oranges, and berries.  Since they are not in season berries are too expensive to buy very much of, and a girl will get real tired of bananas and oranges at every meal.  I picked up some Dates in the produce section today- I know I am not supposed to binge on them because they are so sweet but can I have a few with a meal as my fruit?   For reference, the package says a serving is 60g and contains 38 g sugar (naturally occurring, obviously).

You don't need fruit at every meal. A serving a day is plenty for many people. Some people eat no fruit. 

And you can find frozen berries. 

Dates are fine if--IF--you don't snack on them, they don't crowd veggies off your plate AND if they are not a "food with no brakes" for you (as they are for some people.

No offense but thawed out frozen berries taste disgusting except if blended into something like a smoothie. They get all slimy and squishy.  It's good to know though I don't have to worry too much about fruits.

Costco has good berries in my opinion and they are not always as expensive as the regular grocery store.  My favorite is also frozen organic berries from the healthfood store.  The blueberries tend to be smaller and so yummy.  But usually expensive.
