Five a day
Eating at least five portions of fruit and vegetables a day is an essential part of a healthy diet.
Select a season
Our seasonal guide is full of ideas for healthy breakfasts, snacks, lunches and dinners - making it easy for you to get your five a day from the current fruit and vegetables. Each suggestion counts as one complete portion. An adult portion is 80g.
Eat a rainbow
Fruit and vegetables from five different colour groups – red orange yellow green purple – make up each day's menu. As different coloured fruit and vegetables contain different nutrients, combining them is the best way to get all you need.
