Picnic Snacks Count Toward Your Five-A-Day | Leeds News

Health pros say your summer picnic snacks like hummus, falafel, and tzatziki can actually count toward your daily five-a-day fruit and veg goal—helping slash heart disease and cancer risks. Sun-dried tomatoes, chickpea hummus, cucumber tzatziki, and even edamame or olives (in moderation) all stack up as portions, though beans and pulses only count once. Pair dips with fresh veggies for maximum impact, and skip sugary store-bought salsa. It’s smart, tasty, and keeps your heart happy without the boring grind.
