Remember that it doesn't matter how much you drink it's still only 1 of the 5! - Chop fruit into your cereal. Not just a banana there are loads of fruits out there, strawberries, grated apple, or even tinned fruit (just not the ones in syrup) - Frozen Fruit - often forgotten, it's just as nutritious as the fresh variety - try leaving out a bowl overnight and having with yogurt in the morning. - Make a smoothie - add fresh or frozen fruit to yogurt and milk and blend - totally scrumptious! - Mashed banana's - on toast or in a sandwich, will make you dream of being young again. - Dried Fruit - cheap to buy and easy to keep you going on the move. - Always keep a piece of fruit with you on your travels. So much better than a service station bag of crisps. - Raw veggies - Snack on carrot sticks, celery and cucumber during the day - dip in salsa and you pack an even greater antioxidant punch. - Pile on the extra tomatoes and salad when ordering your lunchtime sarnie. - Try making, or failing that buying vegetable based soups for lunch. Great way to add more veggies into your diet. - Ensure you go have two vegetables with your main meal. The phrase "meat and 2 veg" does mean something... - Pre-prepared food - stuck for time. Keep either pre-prepared vegetables of bags or frozen vegetables at home. So much easier to add to a casserole or soup or a stir fry. - Have your finger on the pulse! Beans and pulses - kidney beans, lentils, chickpeas all count towards 1 of your 5 a day if included in a meal. - Go for a variety of colours - got a green salad? Just add tomatoes, red peppers, carrot's and get the broadest range of disease fighting phytochemicals on your plate, it will look good too. - Try something new each week - There are bound to be loads of vegetables and fruit that you've never tried. Vary what you eat, get a vegetable box delivered and make meals out of all the vegetables you been given.
