10 portions a day?!

[Houmouse]

I was reading an article the other day which claimed up to ten portions of fruit and veg a day was really beneficial to health(more veg, less fruit)
Does anyone manage this?
I can’t imagine how we would afford it if everyone in the family ate like this! We probably manage 6-7 most days, with 2-3 of those fruit.

Well done :-). I got a bag of (not reduced but gorgeous) banana shallots for 15p in Lidl the other day. Let the competitive veg shopping begin. Oh hang on, you won!

Sorry that was for Schro

I don't think you actually need a whole 10 portions, I think it's more important to have a diversity of fruit and vegetables.

Eg I have 2 different fruits with oats for breakfast, which could be a few raspberries and cherries. Lunch is always accompanied by a bowl of salad, typically with 8 or 9 different salad veg.

Piece of fruit mid afternoon, then 3-5 veg with dinner.

Current thinking is to try to incorporate 30 DIFFERENT plants over the course of a week. This obviously includes oats/nuts/seeds etc too.
