How many serving of fruits and veggies a day

The standard used to be 5 a day, but lately I've been hearing that that is a minimum. Here is a good website explaining portion sizes of fruit and vegetables:

It will explain exactly how many strawberries are in a serving, and that although 1 glass of juice is 1 portion, you're only allowed to count it once(no matter how much juice you drink)..due to the lack of fiber.

5 servings. A cup is equivilant to one serving. A banana or a large apple could almost count as 1 1/2 serving.

You should have a MINIMUM of 5 servings. A serving is a small cereal bowl of salad or half a cup of fruit.
