Fruits and vegetables provide a range of vitamins, minerals and fibre. Aim for 5 portions a day of a range of colours to give a good mix of different nutrients. The recommended portion size is around 80g or the amount you can hold in one hand. Fresh, frozen, tinned and dried can all count. Juiced fruits and vegetables or smoothies can be included, but only count as 1 of our 5 a day portions (limited to a 150ml serving). Remember to wash all fresh fruit and vegetables.
Including some vegetables, salad or fruit at each meal and as snacks can help to meet the ‘5 a day’ recommendation.
