As a busy mum myself, I know that it can be difficult at times to encourage my young kids to eat more fruit and veg, especially during the colder months when there are still so many treats left over from Christmas to be eaten up. But with a lot of tasty seasonal fruit and veg on offer at this time of year, it can also be a good time to encourage children to eat their 5 A DAY.

Not only will this help to balance their everyday diet, it may also help to fill them up so that they’re less likely to feast on less healthy snacks.

This winter, I would like to share some of my favourite Top Tips for eating more fruit and veg together with helpful tips from other mums, and dads too. By trying some of the tips during the winter, you really could make the difference to helping your kids on their way to eating their 5 A DAY.
