Simple ways to help your family eat more fruit, without waste or worry!
Fruit is one of the easiest ways to reach 5-a-day.
Naturally sweet, familiar, and ready to eat on-the-go, fruit is nature’s perfect snack. But knowing how to get kids to eat more fruit isn’t always straightforward.
From apples and pears to berries, explore simple ways to serve, store and enjoy British fruit your family will actually eat.
Apples
Crisp, sweet and easy to pack, apples are a simple everyday win for 5-a-day.
Slice them, dip them in peanut butter, grate them into porridge or yoghurt, stew them with cinnamon until soft, add thin slices to a cheese sandwich… Small changes can make them more appealing if your child isn’t a fan of eating them whole.
Pears
Soft, juicy and naturally sweet, pears are a great option for younger children or those who prefer gentler textures.
Serve ripe for sweetness, or try poaching or baking to bring out even more flavour! Sliced over nut butter on toast or cubed with cheese and crackers at snacktime helps you introduce them in many forms to kids to find one they love.
Berries
Bright, colourful and full of flavour, berries are an easy way to add variety when you’re trying to get kids to eat more fruit.
They work in breakfasts, snacks or desserts, an easy way to add colour (and nutrients) to the day. Try layering them between granola and yogurt for a parfait, adding a handful to pancake batter, scattering over cream cheese bagels, blending into smoothies or frozen lollies, and so much more!
