Hey, I am trying to be more healthy and eat more fruit and veg because at the moment I don't even get the recommended 5 portions.

I find it pretty to eat alot of fruit but it's the veg that is my problem because it normally tastes so bland...

How do you get your 5 a day? I need help! Does anyone have good ways of 'hiding' vegetables in sauces or what not to make them more appertising?

yeah, the whole 5 a day things very confusing i think, like does one apple count as one of the five? and what exactly is a "portion"? couldnt you have like a subsitute, cause you can get health drinks or something that are the equivalant of the 5 a day. i don't know aha

v8 juice. it's high in sodium, like most things. they have a low sodium v8.
8 ounces is like 2 servings of vegetables a day.

Mmm I love V8 fruit juice. I am way too timid to try the vegetable ones, however.

I don't know how people manage eating five 'portions' a day. I ate like seven strawberries and three grapes today, does that count as a 'portion'?

I have a feeling that one apple=one portion but it's harder to tell with small fruit.

one portion. i heard that it's the size of a womans closed fist. i go by that.
