You can easily make homemade protein powder for your child using ingredients commonly found in your kitchens.
-Combine a mix of nuts (like almonds, walnuts, cashews, pistachios), seeds (such as pumpkin, sunflower, chia, and melon seeds), roasted chana dal (sattu), and oats.
-Dry roast each ingredient separately, let them cool, then grind together into a fine powder.
-Store this protein mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 2–3 weeks.
-Add 1–2 tablespoons to a glass of milk daily for a nutritious boost. You can add 1-2 tsp of cocoa powder as well for added taste.
-When buying protein powder, look for options without added sugar, artificial flavors, or preservatives.
-The ingredient list should be simple, focusing on natural protein sources.
-Choose products that are age-appropriate and free from unnecessary additives.
If you need personalised recipes or guidance, feel free to consult me for support tailored to your child’s preferences and nutritional requirements.
