Which fruit / vegetables have the smallest portions that count as one of your 'five-a-day'?

One portion could be

1 apple

1 kiwi

2 satsumas,

handful of raisins,

handful of grapes,

10 strawberries.

The confusion is what a million piece of fruit or vegetables skill and that's undesirable. The fruit and vegetables element skill one hundred grams - a lot of human beings get this incorrect, in spite of each little thing might you anticipate a grape to have the comparable supplements as a pineapple? undergo in recommendations that's not a optimal, this is a minimum so consume greater fruit and vegetables for extra wellbeing advantages. do not evaluate fruit juice on your count type, it does not have the fibre to sluggish absorption of fruit sugar so can spike your blood sugar and convey approximately issues at the same time with your pancreas over a protracted era.

The 5-a-Day rule is based on 1/2 cup portions, no matter the size of the fruit or veg ... Too, the 5-a-Day rule means 3 servings of veg and 2 of fruit.

A portion of 1 of your 5 a day is 80grams.

I know that beans, however many you eat, only count as 1 of your five a day.

Best thing is to find a way you like veg - there are so many yopu are bound to find some you like.

Kick of with a fruit smoothie - bannan and half a cup of berries with a scoop of fat free yoghurt and a splash of skimmed milk - blitz it and is like a lovely milk shake but paked full of goodness.

Then what about making butternut squash chips? skin the squash - chip it then sprinkle with herbs you like (We sometimes use paprika) and spray with one cal oil - another portion!

Sneak some in a baked potato - bake as norm - then scoop out the middle and mis in half a cup of spring oniopns - lovely and you don';t need butter

Load of ways honestly - add spinach to curry, puree peppers for soup or stew - endless list

I eat a banana, and apple a day, and a huge salad every dinner with lettuce, spinach, chives, black olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, green peppers, red peppers, broccoli, and apple and almonds in it. So I think I probably go over, since I eat a lot of salad, plus a side dish with diinner like asparagus, peas or broccoli. I also eat grapes every few days.

if you eat a whole apple its like 2 portions because the apples in the grocery store are usually un-godly huge

Not a fruit/veg fan then..?
