OK- so the challenge is to fit 10 portions of fruit and veg into every day over 2 weeks. All of the meals I’ve suggested are ones we have.
Disclaimer: I don’t actually cook this many meals in one week because I work and my kids get fed at nursery 4 meals a week. I also tend to cook way more than I need at each meal so I always have left overs for another day! But I figured I’d give you a more varied plan so you can get an idea of how you could potentially manage all 10 portions each day!
