The value of eating five portions of fruit and vegetables per day has been preached by many food gurus out there. But if you don’t normally eat fruit or veggies, this might sound like rather a lot. So if you’re interested in making it happen, how can you fit in five portions every day? These tips may help.

Fruit Salad Mix

An elaborate breakfast is the best way to get yourself on track. Pour some oats into a bowl and top with blueberries, banana, raspberries, apple, grapes, and a big dollop of thick creamy unsweetened natural yogurt. This already gets you four of your five a day, alongside the energy you’ll receive from the oats, and the prebiotics from the yogurt.

Morning Or Lunch

This oat fruit salad mix tastes great, freshens your day and doesn’t feel like force feeding. You can also eat it in the morning or more around lunch time if you prefer.

Smoothie

Alongside the fruit mix, the best way to reinforce those five a day is to prepare a fruit smoothie. You can have this with the oat fruit mix in the morning or for lunch, or take them separately. You can try out different flavor combinations and see which you like best. This way you can rest assured you will get your five a day, plus anything you may eat for lunch or dinner.
