5 A Day - Monday Morning Motivation

Wake Up, Get Your Asses UP! Welcome to Monday Morning Motivation. Coming to you every Monday morning to kick start your week to achieve your goals and be the best version of yourself. Today we focus on getting your 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day.  There are lots of ideas of how to include more fruit and vegetable into your diet to achieve the guidelines of at least 5 x 80-gram portions a day. Remember they are full of vitamins &minerals, an excellent source of dietary fibre and low in fat. They can be fresh, frozen, canned or dried (but potatoes don't count as they are mainly starch).  Add fruit to cereal / low-fat yoghurt for breakfast, try berries or chopped banana. Add grilled mushrooms or tomatoes to scrambled eggs have sticks of cucumber, carrot or pepper with a low-fat hummus dip as a snacked chopped veg to your favourite meals, like carrots in bolognaise or peas in mashed beans into salads Choose vegetable or tomato-based sauce over creamy alternatives Share your pictures of your 5 a day attempts with us on Instagram this week with the hashtag #plantpoweredshow
