The reds
Packed with vitamins C and A – great for eyes and skin – there's more to the humble tomato than its bright good looks. Tomatoes also contain lycopene, which has powerful antioxidant properties to help prevent cell damage. Try Knorr and Bertolli's tomato-based pasta sauces and soups to get more into your meals.
The oranges
Obviously oranges, mandarins, satsumas and a whole array of dazzling citrus fruits fit in to this category, and they all offer a bountiful supply of vitamin C. If peeling is too much effort, get yours through a tasty Knorr Vie Shot. The little bottles offer big benefits – just one gives you the equivalent of munching through half your recommended five-a-day fruit and vegetable quota. Better still they contain no added sugar, salt, artificial aromas, colour or taste additives.
The yellows
Bananas are great blended into smoothies, sliced on top of your cereal or as an on-the-go snack. Their potassium content can help keep blood pressure in check, and muscles in good working order. They're also a good source of fibre, important for healthy digestion.
The greens
Eating your greens doesn’t have to mean sticking to salad. Broccoli is rich in vitamins A and C, plus it's packed with calcium and fibre. Green beans – also known as string beans – are another good bit of green grub. Bursting with vitamin K, which helps maintain strong bones, and they contain iron and omega 3 too.
The blues
Not literally a blue food but as close as it gets, blueberries have been billed as a power food in the press. They're rich in antioxidants, and varying studies state many reasons to pick them as a super snack – their ability to boost mental alertness and energy among the long list of benefits.
