As we begin to enter an era where childhood obesity is beginning to become an increasing health problem, schools are now making a conscious effort to make their school menu meals a lot healthier. Here we have put together a sample meal that is quick to prepare whilst remaining nutritious. This meal idea can be produced in the school kitchen for school dinners or can be used for a packed lunch if it is prepared at home.
