| 7 ways to help you to your 5 a Day A healthy diet, first and foremost, should contain a wide variety of fruit and vegetables. The government suggests we eat at least 5 portions of different fruit and vegetables every day, but more is encouraged. It's not that hard to fit these in to your regular daily meals and snacks, especially with a food like California Raisins available. They're not expensive, and they last for a long time in your cupboard. Here are just a few ideas that can help you on your way to getting your at least one of your portions eaten every day of the week. You can even use our handy 5 a Day Calendar to check off your progress! |

| Monday: Monday mornings are the hardest of the week to kickstart, but sprinkle some California Raisins over your bowl of cereal or porridge and get the energy flowing! Tuesday: Remember to put a snack pack of California Raisins in your bag or lunchbox, and give yourself a mid-morning pick-me-up! Wednesday: If you're making sandwiches, try adding a few California Raisins to the mix. Whether you're a cheese, chicken or egg fanatic, a few raisins in the mayo will liven up a sandwich and add a little extra chewiness too. Thursday: Try a little mid-week baking, and snack on a cookie in the afternoon. A sweet cookie with California Raisins and a cup of tea make the perfect afternoon break. |
Friday: Warm yourself up on a chilly evening with a stew or risotto, and pop in a few California Raisins to boost the nutritional value of the meal. Saturday: Salads are superb lunchtime dishes - you can make them exactly as you like and they're healthy whatever goes in. Make sure to add some California Raisins and you've got an extra portion of fruit in your diet. Sunday: Time for a treat! Take your pick from a list of desserts made with California Raisins and enjoy being a little naughty before a new week begins. |
