Home » School Meals » Healthy Eating » Five Fruit

I always eat lots of fruit and vegetables. My mum says we should eat FIVE portions every day, and she’s an expert. I like some vegetables, but I think some are yucky.     I like sprouts!     Euurghh! I don’t ! Carrots are my favourite. And peas. My favourite fruit is oranges.     I like oranges!     Today I ate an orange AND an apple. I had sweetcorn with my lunch and a glass of orange juice. Some vegetable soups and all pure fruit juices count as a portion.     I knew that.     I like juice!     I drink fruit juice after playing football. It gives me energy so I can play some more! Fruit and veg contain lots of vitamins and fibre.     I like vitamins! What are vitamins?     Vitamins help to make your body work better, and help to give you energy. Fibre can protect you from tummy aches.     I knew that too. I told you, my mum's an expert.
