Our Dietitian’s Choice

"Mama Mia! What is not to like about this well-loved dish? Along with the minced beef, the garlic bread provides a good source of iron and zinc. The number of children who do not get enough iron or zinc in their diet is quite high. For some children, increasing their intake of foods containing these nutrients could make a difference to mood, behaviour and learning. The tomato based sauce benefits from added veg, so rest assured, even those a bit shy on accepting the side salad or vegetables accompaniment get a hidden bonus!"
