Tips
- Porridge is an excellent choice at breakfast and is low in fats, sugar and salt. Avoid adding any sugar or honey.
- Fruit juice and smoothies count towards your 5 a day, although they are a source of free sugars so you should limit consumption to no more than a combined total of 150ml per day.
