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.
