How much fruit do you eat?

I recently found apples make my mouth sore it’s possibly oral allergy apparently. But I eat raspberries every morning, 1 or two bananas a week, plums, cherries, peaches and pears when in season and I snack on soft dried apricots and sultanas once a day. Also eat tinned fruit in juice occasionally. I do eat plenty I think.

Mixed fresh fruit, melon, grapes, apple and strawberries this morning with Yogurt for breakfast, and usually 3 vegetables or a salad for evening meal.
Works for me.

In that department, I find that stewed apple helps.

I can vouch for that.

My shopping list always includes strawberries, raspberries, apples, oranges, tangerines, lemons, bananas, pineapple and grapes this will last me the week. Sometimes melon and mango and when plums are in season I eat loads! I don’t need to by apples at the moment as my tree had a heavy crop this year.
I get very out of sorts if I do not eat plenty of fruit but I suppose it is what your gut is used to.

Oh I like the sound of sultanas in my porridge but do I put them in before I cook the porridge or after? (Sorry to be dim )

I like fruit and eat a lot of strawberries and blueberries. Not so much apples and pears but some oranges and mandarins. Bananas on and off, a couple of times a week. I don’t eat tinned fruit, I find it a bit too sweet. However, I adore mangoes when they are in season. They are coming in now, lovely.

I used to eat a lot, but find that my system cannot take too much now, so only 2 pieces a day, usually grapes and a banana.
I do eat a lot of veg though.

Good point, Ziplock, i must remember to buy tinned fruit in juice and not syrup.
I'm glad to hear it does count in my five a day. 😊

I find that fruit causes aches and bloating as they trigger my IBS, although I have sultanas with my morning porridge. Vegetables don't generally have any advaffect, so I eat more of them

as with the op yes 3-4 plums in morning to keep the status quo. We eat stewed apples after tea too.

Following removal of my sigmoid colon, I was advised to have porridge with raisins for breakfast every day to keep my ‘innards’* in good working order.

It works

*An elderly aunt always used to ask my siblings and I if our innards were working when we visited her. We still giggle about it.

I have blueberries or some tinned peaches on my breakfast cereal and have a sandwich with some grapes at lunch time. Occasionally I'll have an apple or a banana but DH dives into the bananas quicker than I do!!!

Would five portions of vegetables work the same way< LR. You'd be taking in less sugar if it worked the same.

Ooh! Good thinking. I'll try that. Thanks for tip.

I eat a lot more fruit than I used to, beginning with half a sliced banana on my bran flakes, then fruit during the day and also, more often than not, after my evening meal.
Yes, tinned fruit (and frozen) count as part of your allowance, but it’s better to look for tinned fruit in juice rather than syrup if you can.

Apart from 50g of frozen mango, cherries, blueberries or pineapple with my breakfast yoghurt I rarely eat fruit. I don't buy fresh fruit unless having guests or grandchildren.

I do eat loads of vegetables and salad.

I have trouble with fruit. Much prefer it tinned to fresh. I'm not sure if tinned fruit counts as one of our five a day. I do buy grapes sometimes, and small oranges. (mandarins etc.).
I do eat lots of veg though.
