How to Make Hitting Your 5-A-Day-Target A Breeze
Be honest. How many portions of fruit and vegetables do you consume on an average day? Experts recommend a minimum of five portions per day. If you’re struggling to hit the target, here are some tips to make healthy eating a breeze.
Juices and smoothies
Making juices and smoothies is one of the simplest, quickest ways to boost your vitamin and mineral intake. You can rustle up tasty thirst quenchers in a matter of seconds, using ingredients you love. Making juices and smoothies at home is much cheaper than buying products from cafes and stores, and it’s often better for you, as you have control over what goes into the recipe. Some shop-bought smoothies contain a lot of added sugar. Once you’ve invested in a juicer or a blender, you can experiment with different ingredients and flavours, trying everything from a vibrant, refreshing strawberry juicer recipe to an indulgent coconut and banana smoothie. Juices and smoothies are ideal for breakfast, especially if you’re in a hurry. When you’re mixing fruits and vegetables, look for tastes and flavours that complement each other, and don’t be afraid to be bold.
