things have improved I think had an orange and a plum and a slice of melon.grapefruit, mushrooms beans bacon and chips for tea. with breakfast 2 and lunch 2 I reckon its 10 portions. :-)
have noticed that most of us are reaching more than 5 a day even if we fail at the 10. so its good and an improvement even on "bad"
days.

I agree oldtractor any extra fruit and veggies can only be a good thing.

Started the day with an orange then omelette with tomatoes and mushrooms. A mug of hm veg soup and tonight I have some roast ham with orange sauce ( I don't think this will count!) asparagus, broccoli, carrots and cabbage. Few potatoes for hubby.

Around 8-9 portions. I may have a kiwi later.

Hi all, just caught up with you all, everyone seams to be doing great , if not 10 but at least 5 plus .
Most of last week I managed about 8 daily , apart from Saturday as silly shift at work . But Sunday about 7 . Yesterday ( Mon ) banana and grapes mid morning carrot,turnip,potato mash , cabbage,peas,broccoli supper . So about 7 .
hopefully tomorrow can be better .

Hollyberry

Yesterday wasn't a bad effort.

Breakfast: Blueberries, banana, strawberries (with soy yoghurt and granola)
Lunch, Mixed salad, olives, celeriac, hummus, stuffed vine leaves with tomato
Dinner: mushrooms, beans, fruit & nut bar

So I reckon that will count for the ten. Today could be more tricky as I'm out all day. Breakfast was a fruit & nut bar plus a banana, so two down so far.

Fruittea

Sorry been away but will get back on track with you all. Whilst away I had an Hello Fresh order delivered - I forgot to cancel it. So I'll be focusing on veggie bases meals this week and will also make sure I make lots of low sugar jellies with fruit.
Simple idea: I take one packet of sugar free jelly fill a small glass to the top with frozen fruit and then pour in the jelly. I packet makes 4 jellies and it's a great way to get about 3 portions of berries in. It sets in about half an hour as the fruit is so cold and it tastes really nice. Off to do that now.

must try that sugar free jelly
