Eating Your 5 A Day Fruit And Veg

Eating your five portions of fruit and vegetables may seem like a daunting task at first but with careful planning it can be achieved so easily. After all if you miss having 5 one day that's ten pieces you have to fit in the next which may be more difficult for some.

When counting a fruit or a vegetable as a serving look at how much weight/or amount counts as one portion.

A fruit salad consisting of grapes, apples, banana and mango topped with fresh yogurt would count as four of your five a day.
