Our Dietitian’s Choice

"We are always listening to our pupils. And they have informed us that they would like to be able to opt in/opt out for a vegetarian alternative on a day-by-day basis, whilst not necessarily signing up to a 100% vegetarian menu.

So why quorn and spinach lasagne? Quorn being lower in saturated fat than beef is good for heart health and is also a good source of protein and fibre. Spinach, being rich in vitamins and minerals, including iron, is a great accompaniment to the dish. This dish is also a good source of calcium (semi skimmed milk in the white sauce and cheese topping). And the lasagne sheets provide carbs for slow-release energy to sustain pupils through an afternoon’s learning. In addition, we will always encourage veg or salad as a nutritious accompaniment."
