How much fresh fruit do you buy in your weekly shop?

[RainbowSlidders]

Today I bought the following for a family of four, 2 adults and 2 teens. It got me thinking that maybe we aren’t eating enough fruit as a family? The kids do have carrots/celery/cucumber/red pepper with hummus or frozen berries and Greek yogurt after school, plus there is always three or four types of veg or a salad involved with dinner.

16 bananas
2 nets of normal oranges
2 punnets of blueberries
1 honey dew melon
12 apples
2 punnets of grapes.
will probably buy another bunch of bananas towards the end of the week.

I buy hardly any fresh fruit apart from apples and occasionally bananas and oranges/ clementines. I got tired of seeing uneaten fruit thrown out and sending the same apple to school every day.

I buy mostly frozen fruit, and we use the frozen fruit for smoothies (cherries, raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries) or just to eat thawed but chilled (pineapple, mango chunks). I usually end up freezing a few bananas if I buy a bunch, and I make banana bread with them.

Oh and I also buy pears occasionally.

...and frozen peaches.

We shop fortnightly so for that we buy ( for three of us )
2 melons
12 bananas
a few packs of oranges or tangerines ( about 18 inside )
6 apples
1 punnet of grapes
10 kiwis ( if they’re not rock solid in the shop )

Then because we shop fortnightly we also buy some frozen
2 bags berry mix
I bag pineapple
2 bags gree smoothie mix ( contains pineapple, mango, banana and spinach )
4 tins of fruit either pears, peaches or mandarins ( if pears and peaches were in season we’d buy them fresh )

ps. @TheBoysAndTheBallet the tangerines we get are really small so two is like an orange.

Only me. 2-3 bananas a week.
Occasionally an apple, like once every couple of months.

I mainly use frozen / tinned fruit & veg (frozen berries in smoothies or bircher muesli). It's much easier to have variety as a single person when things are frozen. I also love dried apricots.

I probably only really get 2-3 fruit/veg a day but honestly I feel pretty healthy, while I should probably have more, I 'win' on other things like never drinking alcohol so overall I reckon I'm fine!

Family of y of 5 (2 adults, 5 year old and two 3 year olds)

Weekly food shop on a Sunday:

12 bananas
Bag of apples
Net of easy peelers satsumas
Pineapple
Punnet of grapes
Punnet blueberries
Punnet of raspberries

Top up shop on a Thursday :
All of the above aside from the berries

I have IBS ,so too much fruit and veg and I will not be able to leave the house. Shame some of us are made to feel like criminals for not buying/eating 30 a day!

2 adults & 2x primary DC
3x bags of oranges
3x6 apples
1 bunch of bananas (DH is the only one that eats them, they’re a fruit of last resort for the DC)
1 each of the following, kiwi, strawberries, grapes, raspberries and blueberries.
2x4 fruit pots of peaches
2x2 fruit pots of pineapple

We try to do 2x portions of fruit and 2x portions of veg (except me, I do 3x fruit and 5x veg).

This.

Usually 6 bananas, 6 apples and frozen berries. In summer more soft fruit. Depends what I want. Also lemons, oranges or clementines.

Frozen blueberries are much better value than a fresh punnet.

You can't ask MNs this considering so many eat 10 plus portions a day.

Thats at least 25 portions a day for a family of 4 which would be a a huge amount!

I would say keep trying with getting (at least) 3 veg into meals, especially for your DC!

But 3 proper portions of veg into our meals would mean almost 1kg of vegetables....
