STILL having trouble understanding 5-a-day
23 Answers
Hi i asked on here about smoothies before (as innocent count their smoothies as 2 portions of fruit in a serving but you are only supposed to count 1 juice per day) Anyway the consensus was that smoothies can count as 2 because it's whole fruit, just pulped/pressed. But now i want to know if i can have, say, an orange juice on top of that and count it as 1. So for example if i had the following :
1 glass of orange juice (1)
1 glass of smoothie (2)
1 portion of baked beans (1)
1 portion of salad (1)
I could say i've had my five a day?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.if you are worried about achieving your 5 a day perhaps you should get a blender and make your own drink/smoothie (not a juicer because that removes the pulp)
there are many things you can blend up to make good 5 a day
such as all the 'sweet' vegetables, like carrrots, sweetcorn etc, can be mixed with fruit or for veg you can heat it up and drink like cup a soup,(if you dont like it just chug it down like medicine
or just blend up any fruits, add water if too thick.
i have also made a kind of pate or toast topper, with blended baked beans, onions, tomatos mushrooms...whatver really
even made my own 'jam' - blend up fruit and sugar free jelly (and perhaps some honey, suagr or sweetener depending on the fruit) and if too runny add a bit of cornflour...
if you consider foods that taste nice together this can be a good way.
much nicer than shop bought
