How much fruit do you eat?

i have no awareness of seasonality of fruits.
there always seem to be plenty in the shops.
we didn't eat much fruit growing up, just a tin on sundays, an occasional apple or banana maybe.
i remember my brother eating an orange; it looked far too difficult a process to me.
i do like tinned mandarins though.

I bought some strawberries in the market earlier this week when the weather was much warmer. Finishing them yesterday, with the rain lashing down and the temperature a good 7 degrees cooler. I told DH that I would not be buying anymore summer berries because it seemed inappropriate to be eating them now he weather was so wintery.

I love fruit and vegetables; today I’ve had a satsuma, handful of blueberries, dried mango and pineapple, half an avocado, an apple, broccoli, peas and broad beans.
I try to have my 5 a day by lunchtime, whether fresh, dried, frozen or tinned in juice.

I think that I don't like fruit and salad in the Winter , because it's too cold .
I love lamb casseroles with lots of vegetables . I might put fruit in my porridge .

Not keen on fruit and salad in the winter months but at the moment I am making smoothies in my nutribullet with the apples from the garden and freezing them.
Vegetables are a different matter, love spinach and especially broad beans, which I adore cold as well and eat by the handfuls.
I do like a lot of green on my plate and dislike it when restaurants serve a meal with two measly stalks of broccoli on the plate.l.

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 put honey, mixed dried fruit and sunflower seeds on porridge after cooking, I then add prunes, grapes, banana, tanned fruit and any other fruit that I can put on it. I don’t eat breakfast and have this for lunch so it is quite a big bowlful. I also have granola with Kevir yoghurt (good for the gut) with all the fruit on another day. I don’t like apples so this is a very pleasant way of getting plenty of fruit every day, I also add walnuts and almonds to the cereals.

Not enough - an apple and an orange , but quite lot of vegetables
In the summer more fruit and certainly more salad .

I like blueberries, raspberries or strawberries, half a sliced banana with my nuts and seeds on weetabix with ice cold milk. Several veg in stir fry, with roast or even pickled cabbage/onions/beetroot on salads etc, all count.

I have 3 prunes heated in the microwave before porridge, blueberries and Greek yogurt. Sometimes add a little banana.
It helps my system.
Most days half a pear
Can't eat too much fruit because of sugar.

Every day I eat pawpaw, pear or apple and a few black grapes. This keeps my system happy.

A lot.
4 or 5 prunes with my breakfast.
A bowl of fruit with Greek yogurt at lunch. An apple as a snack.
I try to stick with seasonal or home grown and frozen fruit. I've a lot of frozen rhubarb and raspberries.
If I have to buy fresh fruit I try to avoid imported fruits if there is a home grown one.
Sometimes tinned if it's all I have.
Also love a fruit cake and make a fab plum bread.

If you are finding constipation is a problem. Try having prunes regularly. The soft ones from M&S are delish. Eat an apple a day (or pears work well too). Kiwis, figs or oranges are good too. What you need is fibre. Drink lots of water too. Take a daily probiotic.
To answer your question, I have an apple a day, two prunes, a portion of raspberries, blueberries or cherries with a yoghurt (I buy these frozen and defrost what I need), and a banana every other day. Plus sultanas or dried blueberries when I have porridge. I always add these to cook with the porridge so they are lovely and plumped up.
I also have plenty of vegetables. I used to have a small glass of orange juice most days but have recently decided not to as unnecessary since no fibre and sugary.

An apple a day used to keep the Dr. away. Now it hurts me so I have a banana and peaches plums and nectarines. I have had to cut out broccoli and peas or I am on the Gaviscon, carrots and parsnips are fine but probably I should have a more mix of colours.

I love fruit but eat little because it makes my IBS D work overtime. I do eat some blueberries with my porridge in the morning.

I really enjoy fruit but can be a little greedy with it. I’m trying to cut sugars down in my diet so I’m currently just having a few berries each day and have cut out my daily banana along with grapes which are little sugar bombs. I do love a big juicy navel orange 🍊

Every morning: porridge cooked with apple, pear and raisins. Some time during the day might have an orange, banana, grapes, blueberries or strawberries, etc

I love fruit and eat lots, 4 or 5 pieces daily, but I hate anything acidic so no berries, rhubarb or pineapples. I can eat oranges and think their Vitamin C wards off colds.
One daughter never ever ate fruit and nor does her own daughter.

I don't eat a lot of fruit, as I am diabetic, and they all contain sugar. However, I eat strawberries in season and apples from time to time.

My apple tree has gone crazy with produce this year. Wonderful! My daily treat is one apple peeled and chopped then microwaved for 1 minute. I then cover it with half a tin of either rice or custard and heat for a further 45 seconds. To die for.

Half a grapefruit with breakfast (unsweetened).
Always two or three different veg with my dinner (mid-day) followed by an orange and a banana (no pudding).
Bowl of fresh fruit salad for tea, apple later.

I make a large tub of fresh fruit salad on Mondays - galia + canteloupe melon (or one sapo or one Matice), pineapple, grapes, kiwi, pomegranate and that gives DH and me a bowl each every evening.

I love my fruit, but now am diabetic so have to be careful which fruit and how much I eat. I mourn my lack of lovely Galia melons. Too much sugar in them, but do eat a mix of veg also. Have never understood the idea that you just have potatoes and one other veg with a meal. Just as easy to prepare two or three veg and have the variety . At the moment cauliflowers are good here and so have had quite a bit of cauliflower instead of any potatoes and then green beans or peas . Put lots of veg in casseroles and love celery, whether cooked or raw, but think it adds good flavour to soups and casseroles. Onions are a very firm favourite for any soup or savoury. Occasionally allow myself roast potatoes onions and parsnips cooked round the meat. Oh yummy. Had better go and sort my fish out for tonight feeling too hungry now !

I eat at least three lots of fruit a day, usually blueberries, an apple or pear and a banana. Sometimes tinned prunes if I think I need them! I try to eat fruit after a meal. Also try for five veg or salad ingredients and usually eat a stick of organic celery before my main meal as I was told the fibre slows down your digestion and you are less likely to get a sugar high afterwards.

Like a fair number of replies, I find too much fruit triggers my IBS and also contains a surprising number of calories, especially grapes.. I mainly apples ( fresh or stewed) pears and berry fruits ( one or two portions) a day) in moderation. I like all other fruit but rarely eat other kinds nowadays other than am occasional banana. I eat many vegetables probably at least 4 or 5 different vegetables a day and preferably ones in UK season. .

I don't eat much fruit, especially in winter, but I do eat lots of vegetables. If I make a soup or a stew, it will usually have at least six different vegetables in it, not to mention pulses and grains.

Bananas apples mandarins or small oranges grapes and pears. Soft fruit in season and plums , I eat at least four portions each day . I have chronic diverticular disease and find that amount of fruit as well as soup for lunch suits my digestive system.
