Henry speaks: "Hello we are the Stammers family and we have challenged ourselves to eat healthy and do healthy swaps and this is how we've done it"

Paige is standing in the kitchen.

Paige speaks: "Hey guys this morning I'm trying to try and get two of my five a day by trying to add fruit to my Weetabix"

[Music]

Paige is chopping a banana and some grapes and adds them to two Weetabix before adding milk, then sits at the table to eat.

Paige speaks: "um yum!"

Camera cuts to Henry standing the kitchen about to make some food.

Henry speaks: "What's up guys? Henry. I'm making a healthy meal for my family today. What we are doing is basically we're having things like fruit and veg." [Camera pans to show healthy food items on the worktop]. "You've got some dairy here, some cheeses. You can also have some protein like ham or some eggs which we've got cooking or you can add some pickled stuff like sliced beetroot sliced jalapenos and pickled cucumbers. If you want any sauces you can have a lighter than like mayonnaise which is pretty good, you can have a better one which is fat-free vinaigrette, or if you like spicy things like me, tabasco.

"And there you have it lots of five a day in here and the best thing about it is your family can help themselves."

Family members come in and help themselves to salad for lunch.

Camera cuts back to Henry in the kitchen.

Henry speaks: "I want to turn all these vegetables into a big batch of sauce that can be used for multiple meals throughout the week." [Camera pans to show a range of vegetables on the kitchen worktop. Henry chops a carrot, leek, courgette and chilli before adding to a bowl].

"Look at how many of our five a day are in here!" Holds bowl to camera and pours chopped vegetables into a pan.

"and instead of oil, we're going to use a little bit of vegetable stock." Henry adds stock to the pan and turns on the heat.

"Okay so now you cooking on low heat and add your chopped tomatoes and passata until it's soft."

"I've left this sauce to cook for about an hour now so i'm going to blend it up and there you have it, the amazing sauce that i've made and you've made you can add it to things like just pasta, you can have italian herbs for things like bolognese, you can have barbecue for things like chicken, and if you like spice you can add some spices, and if you want to leave it over the week and stuff you can freeze it and leave it over obviously the week, maybe a bit more."

Camera cuts to Paige and her Dad in the kitchen.

Paige speaks: "We're going to be making a pesto sauce that's healthier than store bought sauce."

Dad points to garlic.

Paige: "Garlic". Dad adds garlic to a blender.

Dad points to bowl of cashew nuts.

Paige: "Cashew nuts". Dad adds cashew nuts to blender.

Paige: "So we're bringing our bottles!" Paige holds up her water bottle.

Henry: "The best thing is its free!"
