Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the recommendation a minimum of 5 portions of fruit AND vegetables per day, not 5 of each ?

I manage that with ease.

That's correct although the article does say ''5 portions of fruit and vegetables'' but this is the minimum. My view is more the better! :D

If you're low carbing can't you still manage some portions of fruit and veg that are low carb? Some that come to mind are: mushrooms, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes, courgettes, aubergine, avocado, celery. A fruit juice that you may be able to manage is the Ocean Spray Cranberry Light which has 1.5g carbs per 100ml.
