8 Tips On How To Easily Get Your Five-A-Day

Eating healthy ain't easy, at least if you don't know the shortcuts. It is a well understood fact that in order to function as a healthy human being you need to eat five fruit or vegetable a day.

Sometimes this can seem daunting, which is why we've compiled a list of eight tips to make it easier to get your five-a-day.

1) Terry's Chocolate Orange

An easy way to knock one off the list. Available in all good grocers, just make sure they're in season before you buy.

2) Peach Schnapps

Now I know what you're thinking: "I can't drink at work". Well not to fret, because every time I've ever had peach schnapps it hasn't got me drunk in the slightest. True story.

3) Eggplant

Have someone send you copious Eggplant emojis on social media. If you're lucky it might already be happening to you. A great source of fibre.

4) Listen To The Black Eyed Peas Or Red Hot Chili Peppers

Personally I'd opt for the Chili's but depends on your taste. The Peppers might give you heartburn but on the other hand, the Black Eyed Peas might just rot the ear off you.

5) Banoffi Pie

Bananas are one of your five and they're also a great source of potassium. So next time you're ordering dessert at a restaurant ask for a double helping.

6) Wine

An obvious choice, wine is the process by which French people make grapes even more nutritious than before. Just don't overdo it, you don't want to get too healthy *wink wink*.

7) Hawaiian

We all know that pizza is a vegetable, since it was declared as such by US Congress in 2011. The tomato paste used in the recipe is what tips it over the scale from being junk food to essential food group. For added benefit get a Hawaiian those dried up chunks of fruit will stand to you in the long term.

8) Poitín

Made from spuds of course. You might have to drink quite a bit of this to count towards your 5 a day but I've heard it's very mild, so slug away. Downside is it can be a bit on the pricy side and hard to obtain.
