Getting your 5 a day

Hi all, hope you've been having a great week.  It's only one day to weigh in, so keep your fingers crossed.

As I've been posting a food diary all week I've been mulling over the 5 a day issue, and clearly I'm not getting mine.  Think I'll have to look for some more recipes with veggies in.  I keep getting full having my meals so I don't have room for the nice fruit or veg I've got in the fridge.

So I've been having a look on the web and here are some good ideas for topping up your 5 a day.

1. Glass of fruit juice with breakfast
2. Top your cereal with some dried fruit
3. Eat a piece of fresh fruit with breakfast
4. Try a fruit salad for breakfast, pineapple, bananas, kiwi etc
5. Try any of the following toppings on your toast, mushrooms, beans, chopped tomatoes, avocados, bananas
6. Try some fruit smoothie or a banana milk shake
7. Try the nhs 5 a day meal planner, it's got lots of menu options to help you a long
