Keira's lunchbox

What's in Keira's lunchbox?

Keira is eight years old. Her lunchbox includes a brown pitta with tuna and eight tomatoes. She also has some houmous with cucumber and carrot sticks and, as a sweet treat, raspberries and dark chocolate.

What does the expert suggest?

Nutritionist Paula Hallam gives Keira's lunchbox a four out of five, "It's a great lunchbox!"

"Possible improvements could be to add a dairy source (such as plain yoghurt) to the raspberries and to use salmon instead of tuna to increase omega 3 fats!"
