Health experts recommend we eat five servings of fruit and veg each day and for very good reason. Most of these foods are lower in calories and fat and so can help us to control our weight. They are also a source of different vitamins and minerals that we need to stay healthy. Plus they contain fibre, which is important for a healthy digestive system. But best of all, they add variety to our diet and taste great. So start experimenting by adding a rainbow of different fruit and veg to your trolley – try sweet potato, butternut squash, portabello mushrooms, okra, passion fruit, mango, starfruit and melon.

Remember, one portion is equivalent to a whole piece of fruit such as an apple, orange or pear, two small fruits such as satsumas or plums, a bowl of fruit salad, a tablespoon of dried fruit or a small glass (150ml) of unsweetened orange juice.

When it comes to vegetables, a portion is equivalent to 3 heaped tablespoons of cooked veg or beans or 4 heaped tablespoons of green veg.
