Whether you choose to ‘have here’ or ‘take away’, there are lots of healthy options out there to choose from.

Apples

Stewing apples in a little water is a great way of prolonging their life.  Stewed apples can be used as a base for many meals and desserts, or frozen for future use.  

• Adding them as a topping for your favourite breakfast cereal
• Serving stewed apples with a dollop of yoghurt or custard for a fresh and healthy dessert
• Adding them to cakes or muffins for a delicious warm treat
• Baking them with a crumble topping for a warming winter dessert

Nutrition Australia's new Healthy Eating Pyramid is here!

The Healthy Eating Pyramid is a simple visual guide to the types and proportion of foods that we should eat every day for good health. 

It contains the five core food groups, plus healthy fats, according to how much they contribute to a balanced diet based on the Australian Dietary Guidelines (2013). 

The Australian Dietary Guidelines recommend the number of ‘standard serves’ we should consume from the five core food groups each day, for a nutritious and balanced diet.

The recommended intake amounts differ for each age and gender. Click here to see the recommended intakes.
