National Nutrition Week 2019 (13-19 October) is all about how to try for 5 serves of veg each day by embracing your food ‘waste’! Want to #tryfor5, save $ & the environment? #tipoftheday is to eat more parts of your veg such as skins, stalks & leaves! https://t.co/famgENxXGq

Definitely love the frozen fruit and veg! Fruit into overnight oats, smoothies and baked goods, and the veggies steamed in the microwave or into a stir fry 🥦 #SmartEatingWeek
Did you know frozen fruit and veggies can be just as good for you as fresh? This #SmartEatingWeek put a packet of berries or peas and corn in your freezer to add to your meals for a nutrition boost #healthyfoodpartnership#tryfor5 @DAA_feed https://t.co/9JgVU9UbtQ
