This is a great go-to meal for any busy family. Starting with the tummy-filling health benefits of the Tuna in Sweet Chilli Sauce which will provide your body with the protein and healthy omega 3 fats needed to feel fuller for longer.

The omega 3 fat also helps your brain stay on top of the game with EPA and DHA needed for optimal function as the main form of fat found in your brain. Tuna also provides a source of haem iron. This is important to allow oxygen to be transported properly around your body. The animal form haem iron is much better absorbed than the plant type non-haem iron and tuna is a good way to keep your iron stores in a healthy range.

The cabbage and spinach add additional fullness factors with the fibre. Spinach and cabbage are a great source of vitamin K needed for healthy bones and for blood to clot normally as well as vitamin C for strong immunity. Also, folate, needed for DNA synthesis and repair.

Spinach and the carrots which are added are full of vitamin A to help keep your eyes sharp and immune system strong.

Spinach also provides your body with magnesium which is needed for your muscles and nerves to function normally and a healthy metabolism.
