What's in a nutritious lunch?

  • At least one fruit and one vegetable. Fruit and vegetables are a good source of vitamins that your body needs to function.

  • One source of protein, things like eggs, meat, fish or beans. Protein helps our bodies to repair and grow.

  • Carbohydrates, which give you energy, are in things like bread, potato or pasta.

  • Dairy and dairy alternatives such as cheese or yoghurt. Dairy or alternatives provide calcium which is good for your bones.

  • Drinking milk or water are two of the best options for children because they are low in sugar and tooth-friendly.
