How much fruit do you eat?

My apple tree has gone crazy with produce this year. Wonderful! My daily treat is one apple peeled and chopped then microwaved for 1 minute. I then cover it with half a tin of either rice or custard and heat for a further 45 seconds. To die for.

I don't eat a lot of fruit, as I am diabetic, and they all contain sugar. However, I eat strawberries in season and apples from time to time.

I love fruit and eat lots, 4 or 5 pieces daily, but I hate anything acidic so no berries, rhubarb or pineapples. I can eat oranges and think their Vitamin C wards off colds.
One daughter never ever ate fruit and nor does her own daughter.

Every morning: porridge cooked with apple, pear and raisins. Some time during the day might have an orange, banana, grapes, blueberries or strawberries, etc

I really enjoy fruit but can be a little greedy with it. I’m trying to cut sugars down in my diet so I’m currently just having a few berries each day and have cut out my daily banana along with grapes which are little sugar bombs. I do love a big juicy navel orange 🍊

I love fruit but eat little because it makes my IBS D work overtime. I do eat some blueberries with my porridge in the morning.

An apple a day used to keep the Dr. away. Now it hurts me so I have a banana and peaches plums and nectarines. I have had to cut out broccoli and peas or I am on the Gaviscon, carrots and parsnips are fine but probably I should have a more mix of colours.

If you are finding constipation is a problem. Try having prunes regularly. The soft ones from M&S are delish. Eat an apple a day (or pears work well too). Kiwis, figs or oranges are good too. What you need is fibre. Drink lots of water too. Take a daily probiotic.
To answer your question, I have an apple a day, two prunes, a portion of raspberries, blueberries or cherries with a yoghurt (I buy these frozen and defrost what I need), and a banana every other day. Plus sultanas or dried blueberries when I have porridge. I always add these to cook with the porridge so they are lovely and plumped up.
I also have plenty of vegetables. I used to have a small glass of orange juice most days but have recently decided not to as unnecessary since no fibre and sugary.

A lot.
4 or 5 prunes with my breakfast.
A bowl of fruit with Greek yogurt at lunch. An apple as a snack.
I try to stick with seasonal or home grown and frozen fruit. I've a lot of frozen rhubarb and raspberries.
If I have to buy fresh fruit I try to avoid imported fruits if there is a home grown one.
Sometimes tinned if it's all I have.
Also love a fruit cake and make a fab plum bread.

Every day I eat pawpaw, pear or apple and a few black grapes. This keeps my system happy.

I have 3 prunes heated in the microwave before porridge, blueberries and Greek yogurt. Sometimes add a little banana.
It helps my system.
Most days half a pear
Can't eat too much fruit because of sugar.

I like blueberries, raspberries or strawberries, half a sliced banana with my nuts and seeds on weetabix with ice cold milk. Several veg in stir fry, with roast or even pickled cabbage/onions/beetroot on salads etc, all count.

Not enough - an apple and an orange , but quite lot of vegetables
In the summer more fruit and certainly more salad .

Oh I like the sound of sultanas in my porridge but do I put them in before I cook the porridge or after? (Sorry to be dim )

I put honey, mixed dried fruit and sunflower seeds on porridge after cooking, I then add prunes, grapes, banana, tanned fruit and any other fruit that I can put on it. I don’t eat breakfast and have this for lunch so it is quite a big bowlful. I also have granola with Kevir yoghurt (good for the gut) with all the fruit on another day. I don’t like apples so this is a very pleasant way of getting plenty of fruit every day, I also add walnuts and almonds to the cereals.

Not keen on fruit and salad in the winter months but at the moment I am making smoothies in my nutribullet with the apples from the garden and freezing them.
Vegetables are a different matter, love spinach and especially broad beans, which I adore cold as well and eat by the handfuls.
I do like a lot of green on my plate and dislike it when restaurants serve a meal with two measly stalks of broccoli on the plate.l.

I think that I don't like fruit and salad in the Winter , because it's too cold .
I love lamb casseroles with lots of vegetables . I might put fruit in my porridge .

I love fruit and vegetables; today I’ve had a satsuma, handful of blueberries, dried mango and pineapple, half an avocado, an apple, broccoli, peas and broad beans.
I try to have my 5 a day by lunchtime, whether fresh, dried, frozen or tinned in juice.

I bought some strawberries in the market earlier this week when the weather was much warmer. Finishing them yesterday, with the rain lashing down and the temperature a good 7 degrees cooler. I told DH that I would not be buying anymore summer berries because it seemed inappropriate to be eating them now he weather was so wintery.

i have no awareness of seasonality of fruits.
there always seem to be plenty in the shops.
we didn't eat much fruit growing up, just a tin on sundays, an occasional apple or banana maybe.
i remember my brother eating an orange; it looked far too difficult a process to me.
i do like tinned mandarins though.
