Have read a couple of posts where people have said they found it hard getting their five a day. Just thought I'd share how I get some of mine in. Feel free to add how you get yours!
I usually have a steamed apple with my shredded wheat in the morning. Just stick the apple in a steamer in the microwave for 1 & 1/2 mins (would imagine you could bake it like a baked potato). Sweatens breakfast off nicely.
If I think i'm not going to get my 5 I often stick a bag of Birdseye steamed veg in with my meal...pasta, curry or just on this side.
Then obviously there's a glass of OJ. I think a portion is 125mls.
Hope this is handy for some one.
Happy healthy eating!

I eat about 3-4 portions of fruit a day - one with breakfast and lunch, and two as snacks in between. It varies - berries, apples, mandarins, pears, peaches. Sometimes I make a small smoothie with 1/2 banana, a few slices of mango, and 1/2 cup light coconut milk for breakfast.
And as for veg, I always have at least 2 portions of veg with lunch and dinner. Again, it's a variety, but I usually have carrots stick with lunch and a soup with 1 portion veg. Then at dinner it will be steamed veg and a starchy veg.
