Its a mixture. 5 fruit AND veg = 5 portions of either.

Answer 5

it means 5 portions of either fruit or veg. pure fruit juice is one portion

with breakfast banana or strawberry's on wheatabix is 1 more 2 veg with lunch is 4 portions then for tea what ever you want just have a piece fruit for afters their 5 portions a day always mix and match your fruits and veg

Answer 6

All it means is its a guide line for a healthy lifestyle, so 3 serves of veggies and 2 serves of fruit everyday. It is the recommended amount for the average person.

A serve is around the palm of your hand, so a few sticks of veg, an apple and an orange would be really all you need for the day.

Answer 7

You can mix n match, 5 fruit or veg it should be called. A portion is generally what will fit in the palm of your hand so small fruits would be a handful (that might include smaller apricots)

Cucumber would be 8-10 medium thickness slices

a cereal bowl of lettuce...most prepacked bags of lettuce provide 5 portions so gauge the amount from one of those.

Potatoes do not count as one...sorry
