McDonald's Menu: Healthiest Desserts

McDonald's isn't exactly well known for its healthy options. There definitely are some – certain snack wraps contain less than 300 calories and the salads (with light dressing) are a smart way to go. But what about the desserts? Nobody is going to argue that the desserts on the McDonald's menu are good for you (they're not exactly brimming with fresh vegetables). However, if you order well and keep the portions small, you can certainly keep the calories down. Here are the five "healthiest" desserts on the McDonald's menu, from a calorie standpoint. And we'd advise against ordering a milkshake if you're watching your waistline; a small vanilla shake, the "healthiest" shake offering, contains 530 calories.
