As we're dotted all over the world and time zones vary I'll put tomorrow's mini goal up now so there's no excuse for missing it! 
Day 2- Feeling Fruity!!
Today's challenge is all about getting fruity....And remembering to have your 5-a-day! But to spice things up a little I thought we could play a little game....
You must suggest a fruit for the person above you to include today - this can be any fruit you can think of but don't forget some fruits might be a little harder to get hold of than others!
Then let us know which other four fruits and/or vegetables you will be eating to give us all some inspiration! These can be canned, frozen, 100% juice, dried....Be Inventive!
I have already pre-logged my FOUR for tomorrow, they are 1) pink lady apple 2) frozen spinach 3) blueberries 4) asparagus YUM!

alright. i'm gonna start the suggestions because i may need to pick up whatever is suggested to me today, for tomorrow.
lottieloves85: dragonfruit!
they are really nice and have a mellow taste so it won't feel like you are eating too many sweets. if you are unsure of dragonfruits check out a picture on google, and if you don't have them at your grocery store try: plums

Oooh they don't have these in my local store, will try to call in at the big supermarket on my way home, if not, plums it is!0 -
Because nobody suggested anything for raqufern I'll do it: watermelon!0

Watermelon is really good right now. Blackberries and strawberries were on sale. Sometimes the price dictates the fruit I choose. I've been grilling vegi's all summer. Cut up one yellow and one zuchinii, red onion, bell pepper, red potatoes; toss in olive oil and emerill seasoning and grill in a gill pan for about 15 minutes. Delicious!!!0

Sorry, a little late for the challenge. I'm having a necterine-breakfast, grapes-snack, broccolli-lunch, spinach-dinner. If it's not too late someone please suggest another fruit.0

Blueberries! nom nom nom0

Thank you. I'll add them to my lunch salad.0

I've had 2 bananas and a pear today, having carrots and peas for dinner, and the strawberries keep screaming at me to eat some ;-)0
-
I've had one apple and 100 gr of strawberries.
After work I plan to go to the store and pick up some raspberries for desert. (Sadly, I have only an early blooming raspberry left in the garden, which has had the brunt of its fruits last month. The late variety I used to have did not survive last winter)
On the veggie front, I had carrots and celeriac for lunch, and will make a salad for dinner.0 -

I work as a Mother's Helper for a family and the dad juiced watermelon and pineapple and popsicles. 0
