Top Tips for Eating More Fruit and Vegetables



http://www.5aday.nhs.uk/topTips/default.html

Some unusual tips at getting kids to eat healthy food:
• Sugar snap peas are a great choice for lunch boxes as a finger snack.
• Cut the top off a kiwi fruit and give them a spoon to eat it like a boiled egg.
• It can be very easy and cheap to include veg in evening meals – just add a tin of chopped tomatoes to a spaghetti bolognaise.

Unfortunately potatoes and other related vegetables such as yams and cassava do not count in the Five a Day Plan. This is because they are classified as starchy foods.

What I learned that was special:
• Peppers, mushrooms, onions or pineapple on your pizza topping count as 1 portion
