Did you know that eating a range of different coloured fruits and veggies can help to ensure you\u2019re getting a great balance of vitamins and minerals? Even better, most fresh and frozen fruit and veg (when cooked without adding fat) are Free Foods \u2013 which means you can enjoy them freely with no weighing, measuring or counting. Fill your plate to the brim, like Slimming World Consultant Tace, who put together this vibrant bowl. Altogether now, red and orange and yellow and green…<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
