Fruit and Veg Diary

Really simple just tally the fruit and veg each family member consumes on this printable diary.

Everyone needs to make it to 5 a day. Cancer charities recommend 7-9, so really the more the better.

Try to ensure there’s a mix of colours in your intake each day so five apples is not ideal!

One of your five can be dried fruit and only one should be processed eg fruit juice, baked beans, fruit purees.
Aim for 2 -3 portions to be fresh and raw.

If someone doesn’t quite make 5 let them catch up if necessary by eating an extra portion the next day.

The winner is the person with the biggest total at the end of the week. Let them choose a treat for the whole family,
a favourite in our house is the chocolate dip, a big platter of fruit with melted chocolate to dip it in. Or it could be a
trip to the swimming pool or the cinema. Winner chooses, the whole family joins in. You may want to make a list
of treats that are agreed in order to avoid bids for trips to McDonalds or a day at a really expensive theme park!

A portion is generally seen as being a fist sized amount.
