Just about managing to hit your five-a-day? Bad news: you’re floundering at the low end of what’s acceptable. In Sweden, where government recommendations are more in line with actual science, the magic number is nine. In France it’s ten, and in Japan it’s a highly-ambitious (though smaller-portionsized) 17.
The message is clear – a sprinkling of salad and a banana just isn’t enough. That’s why we’ve asked some of the country’s most health-conscious eateries for recipes that provide at least three of your mandated-minimum five-a-day. Add some fruit at breakfast or for a snack, and suddenly the whole thing looks more manageable – and more palatable.
