  Hi John,
I found getting mine cooking was the best way to get them eating it. There are some good recipes for your daughter's age group on the Food A Fact Of Life website with videos to follow:

We also use this wall chart http://www.netmums.com/food/5_a_day.327/#chart printed off on the fridge. We have one for everyone including the grown ups and the kids fill theirs in. They can get quite competitive sometimes and it sometime makes me realise I haven't had my 5 either if I have had a busy day!

Hope that helps?
