What
makes a Serving ? |
| |
Hey
kids! Five to nine servings of fruits and
veggies do not have to be taken at one
go. So dont worry as to how to achieve the
target of accomplishing the numbers of servings.5-9
servings take into account all the servings
of fruits and veggies taken by an individual
during the entire day, irrespective of their
form- raw, cooked, frozen, dried, or
in form of juice. |
| |
| |
|
|
| |
One
serving size is defined as: |
|
| |
|
Drink
one glass of delicious fruit juice either
at home or in school and youre on your
way to 5-a-day. |
|
| |
|
1/2
cup of cooked vegetables equals one
serving of your 5-a-day. |
| |
|
One
medium fruit counts as one serving of
your 5-a-day.
|
|
| |
|
A
whole carrot/ tomato/cucumber/radish
counts as one serving. |
| |
|
A
handful of dry fruits makes one serving
of your 5-a-day |
|
| |

A medium salad is 2 servings and a large
salad makes 3 servings. |
|
| |
