How many portions of fruit does an innocent smoothie count for if I am trying to get my five portions of fruit & veg a day?
Each smoothie contains lb of fruit. Each recipe’s label tells you how many bits of each fruit that recipe contains, but in all of our smoothies all of this fruit will add up to at least two portions of fruit. We work with Professor Joe Millward, one of the country’s top nutritionists and Director of the Centre for Nutrition and Food Safety, who says: “Each innocent smoothie supplies the daily fruit requirement, which when taken with at least two and a half portions of veg would meet the guidelines of 5 portions per day.” The fact that we use fresh juices and and whole crushed fruit rather than concentrated juices means that smoothies really don’t get much healthier than ours.
