Worried about your kids’ nutrition? Then we have got your back with some simple tips to sneak in more protein to their diet that too in an interesting and delicious way. There’s no denying that protein is an important nutrient for kids' as it helps in building muscles, supports brain development, and keeps energy levels stable throughout the day. But if you too find it difficult to sneak in nutrients in a delicious way, then here are 6 easy and tasty ways to boost the protein content of your child’s morning meal without any fuss.


Include Eggs
Eggs are a breakfast protein superstar! You can serve them as boiled, scrambled, omelettes, or even mini egg muffins with veggies and cheese. To make it fun for picky eaters, try cutting hard-boiled eggs into shapes or turning an omelette into a roll or sandwich.


Add Nut Butters
Another simple and fun way to add more nutrition to your kids diet is to replace fat-loaded butter with healthy protein-rich peanut butter, almond butter, or cashew butter, which are rich in protein and healthy fats. Spread them on whole grain toast, chapati rolls, or even fruit slices like apples or bananas. Just make sure the nut butter is unsweetened and smooth for younger kids.


Use Greek Yogurt
Greek yogurt contains twice the protein of regular curd and has a creamy, thick texture kids love. Mix it with fruits, a bit of honey, or homemade granola for a protein-rich breakfast bowl that feels like a treat.


Stuffings in Parathas
Parathas are kid-favorites and you can stuff them with protein-packed fillings like paneer, moong dal, boiled egg, or soya keema. Pair with a little curd or a glass of milk, and you have a high-protein, desi-style breakfast ready to go.


Sprouted Moong
Sprouted moong beans make for an excellent plant-based source of protein, which can be used to make moong chillas, pancakes, kebabs or even add sprouted moong to upma or poha. They’re light, tasty, and are great for digestion as well.
