because the red colouring is made of beetroot?, surely they count as part of my five a day? (Clearly my DP is a chocolate genius). :)

Cocoa comes from a plant anyway does it not?

Strawberry, beetroot and cocoa? You little health fanatic you Wink

Strawberries aren't even real berries. So must be some kind of vegetable.

Er, of course YANBU. Strawberry is a fruit isn't it (although technically I don't think it is, because the seeds are on the outside, but anyway), beetroot is DEFINITELY a vegetable, chocolate comes from beans (vegetable), and sugar (another vegetable).

Plus chocolate is made from milk, which is a recommended source of calcium. What you have there is practically a salad, with cottage cheese.

Trust me, I have managed to apply the "five a day" rule to every food on the planet, and you have no worries with Lindor, they tick every box.

Chocolate is one of your five a day. It's made from beans and an extract of cane, a kind of grass. You have to eat at least 80g for it to count though.
