What's Great About This Lunchbox:
Packing a lunchbox that covers various food groups is essential for a balanced diet. Inside we have:
- Protein: Turkey ham, cheddar cheese, and eggs provide ample protein.
- Vegetables: Carrots, courgette, sweetcorn, and cucumbers add a variety of vitamins and minerals.

For those looking to boost protein and fibre, consider these swaps:
