Go for 2 & 5 - fruit and vege that is!

Eating plenty of fruit and veggies not only contributes to good health, but also protects against a number of diseases and helps maintain a healthy weight. Most Australians eat only half the amount of fruit and veggies recommended for good health. Adults need to eat at least 2 serves of fruit and 5 serves of veggies each day. Read on for some tips on how to get 2&5 into your day.

  • Top toast with sliced bananas
  • Grate apple and pear into pancake mix
  • Blend soft fruit like bananas, strawberries or canned fruit with skim milk, yogurt and ice for a frothy fruit smoothie

Snacks

  • Pack fresh fruit for a quick snack at any time
  • Freeze bananas, grapes, strawberries and oranges for an icy snack
  • Puree fruit and pour into ice-block moulds to add to drinks
  • Add fresh or dried fruit to muffin and cake mixtures

Main meals

  • Include dried fruit to recipes for stuffings

  • Puree stewed fruit as a topping for desserts or swirl into yogurt

Vegetables

  • Grate or dice onion, carrot, zucchini, potato and corn into a savoury muffin or pikelet mixture
  • Grate beetroot and butternut pumpkin to add colour to your salad or sandwich

Main meals

  • Make meat go further by adding extra vegetables to a stir-fry or casserole
  • Add vegetables in season or legumes (eg. dried beans, peas or lentils) to soups for added flavour and taste
  • Add extra vegetables, dried peas, beans or lentils to recipes for: meatloaves, patties and stuffings, stews and casseroles, pies, nachos, pasta and rice dishes, pizza and pancakes
  • Always serve main meals with cooked vegetables or a salad
  • Use capsicum, zucchini, pumpkin, eggplant, cabbage and lettuce leaves as edible containers with savoury fillings
  • For easy wedges, cut potato, sweet potato, pumpkin and parsnip into wedges, microwave until cooked; mix with a teaspoon of vegetable oil, dried mixed herbs and seasoning, and grill until crispy
