The average Australian falls woefully short of the recommended daily vegetable intake, with less than 5% of Australians meeting their 5 serves a day, let alone the recommended intake for great health. This meal feels indulgent, but eating this will help you get most of the way there to your minimum vegetable intake for the day.
