  We all know that we need to eat our greens - and our reds, oranges and yellows. Our government, doctors and even chefs and food retailers tell us so, but it can seem hard to pack in different fruits and vegetables each day. It's all too easy to grab a slice of toast for breakfast, a sandwich for lunch and a takeaway for dinner, and simply forget to eat nutritionally balanced meals. And it's even harder if our kids are fussy eaters. The good news is that it's much easier than you think with The 5 A Day Menu Planner . Thanks to this book, you and your family will easily be able to enjoy the vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals packed into fruit and vegetables.You'll find 150 mouth-watering recipes, colour-coded in terms of their nutritional qualities. Red dishes contain2 servings of fruits, vegetables or pulses, amber dishes contain 3 and green dishes contain a phenomenal 4+ servings. And we're not talking mung beans and vegetable stews here - these are all recipes that you and your whole family will love to eat. Tuck into French Toast with Maple-tossed Peaches and Raspberries for breakfast, for example, followed by Crab Cakes with Mango Salsa for lunch, Chicken with Onions, Peppers, Tomatoes and Red Wine for dinner and Cherry-berry Crepes with White Chocolate Sauce for dessert. Simply flip through the sections, choose a red, amber and green recipe each day, plus one more of any colour you like, and you'll soon see that you've achieved double the recommended 5-a-day target - and all without any difficult calculations whatsoever!
