Fun ways to get your five-a-day

We are recommended to eat at least five portions of fruit or vegetables per day, but for someone who isn’t keen on their greens then this might seem like quite a difficult target to reach everyday. Below are a few fun ways to eat your fruit and vegetables. If you and your friends get together once a week to catch up, order some fast food and play online games or watch a movie, but you’re sick of your pals teasing you for picking out the one slice of tomato or limp piece of lettuce you always get in your burger, then you are sure to be interested in the fun and tasty recipe ideas below. Potatoes
Rather than just eating a boring jacket potato with beans or a potato salad, why not make your potatoes into spicy wedges? Simply slice up a potato, sprinkle it with paprika, chilli powder and cayenne pepper, then bake in the oven until they are crispy. Delicious, healthy and one of your five-a-day. Bananas
If you aren’t too keen on eating bananas – other than in a banana split – then why not make a fruit smoothie? Simply place a banana, a splash of milk and some ice cubes into a blender and blitz until you have a creamy banana smoothie. If you have a sweet tooth, why not add a spoonful of cocoa powder to make a chocolate banana smoothie, or even a spoon of peanut butter and honey? Spinach
This superfood is a great source of iron and vitamins so why not make butter and garlic wilted spinach side dish? Simply fry a clove of garlic in a tiny bit of butter before adding some spinach and letting it wilt.
