Whether your favourite sandwich is cheese and tomato
or ham and cucumber check out these ideas for making some tasty

ham or boiled egg in your bread, but then add salad like lots

taste? Cottage cheese is just as good for you. |

Instead of fizzy drinks,
have a carton of juice, a yoghurt drink or flavoured milk. |

chocolate biscuits with some fruit bread or currant buns like
hot cross buns. |

vegetables like cherry tomatoes, sticks of carrot, cucumbers,

nutrition it needs.
