5 a day

[Mindovermatter247]

So just a random question if anyone can shed some light… or naturally give thier opinion..
I had a naked smoothie for lunch, it says one of your 5 a day but it also says this bottle contains 2 servings, so does that mean if I drink the whole bottle it’s classed as 2/5 or is it still classed as the one?

Juices and smoothies are limited to counting as one of your 5 day. One portion is meant to only be 150ml. Probably because of the sugar.

I think smoothies and fruit juice can only count as 1 portion as they don't contain all the skin and pulp of a whole fruit/veg

Smoothies/ juices can only count for one - they don't contain a lot of the fiber and also usually have a huge amount of sugar.

It's also like if you eat 2 apples it doesn't count as 2 portions. More of the same doesn't count - it's meant to be 5 different fruit/ veg.
