Fruit and vegetables • Fruit and vegetables should make up just over a third of the food we eat each day. • Aim to eat at least five portions of a variety of fruit and vegetables each day. • As a guide, a portion is what fits into the palm of our hand. • Choose from fresh, frozen, canned, dried or juiced. © BRITISH NUTRITION FOUNDATION 2016 Remember, 150 ml glass of fruit juice or smoothie counts as a maximum of one portion a day.

You are going to create a colour web of fruit and vegetables. Write FRUIT AND VEG in the middle of your page. Then draw and label as many as you can, sorting them into colour groups. For example, for yellow you could have a banana, a melon, corn on the cob and a yellow pepper. I’ve included some ideas on the next slide to get you thinking. Use any you can think of! © BRITISH NUTRITION FOUNDATION 2016
