Five portions of fruit and veg

[TerriB]

I know I am being REALLY thick here, but when you read it is recommended that you eat 5 portions of fruit and veg a day, does that mean 5 portions of a mix of fruit and veg, or 5 of fruit and 5 of veg?

Mammya, all that is only one portion
Does fermented grape juice count?

My dh makes me a fruit salad to take to work everyday, today I have red and green grapes, melon, strawberries and mango

He also makes me my sandwiches, well trained or what?

Ghosty, what am I doing?????

Glug glug glug...

1 tsp tomatoe puree = 12 mushrooms??

very interesting.

I've just realised I most definately do not have 5 portions a day.

Baba ... you are plugging ...!!!
(Not having a go ... honest ... I am also in Network Marketing ... but do not plug my business on mumsnet although it is tempting ...!!!))
BTW ... I am alway very wary of companies that claim that their tablets contain the equivalent of whatever ...

Sorry Ghosty, didn't mean to plug - I actually have stopped doing network marketing and am thinking of doing something completely different or maybe having another baby!

However, I still do take these tablets as I do believe that they provide me with the vitamins/minerals that I lack because of not getting my quota of fruit and veg every day. Maybe its rubbish but I am going to take them anyway as there is no way that I have time to eat vast amounts of fruit/veg - its a pity that I couldn't eat 6 portions of cheese and chocolate - I could manage that quite easily!!
