Blueberries
- Studies have shown that eating at least one serving of blueberries a week is very beneficial to the brain and can even prevent memory loss.
- Blueberries are packed with fibre and antioxidants, and may help to lower the risk of various health problems including blood cholesterol and urinary infections.
- It’s thought that blueberries may help reduce abdominal fats, and improve insulin and glucose levels.
Bananas

- Although oranges and strawberries first come to mind when talking about vitamin C, bananas actually provide us with 15 per cent of the daily intake requirements.

Mangos
- Mangos were first grown in India more than 5-thousand years ago.
- 1 cup of mango provides 100 per cent of our daily recommended intake of vitamin C, as well as 35 per cent of the average intake of vitamin A.
- You may not think it, but this delicious fruit is in fact related to cashews and pistachios!
Strawberries
- Strawberries are the only fruit that wear their seeds on the outside, and therefore technically aren’t a true berry!
- One cup of strawberries adds up to roughly 55 calories, making them a great fruit to snack on!
- They are extremely high in vitamin C, with just 8 strawberries providing 140 per cent of the recommended daily intake for children.
Kiwifruit
