Healthy Pasta Nights: High Protein Recipes Indian Kids Will Love
Pasta has become a favorite in Indian homes, especially among children. From school lunchboxes to quick weeknight dinners, pasta is often the go-to meal. But most store-bought pasta is made from maida (refined flour), which lacks nutrition and doesn’t support kids’ growing needs.
That’s why choosing healthier alternatives matters. At Tree&Leaf, we bring you Mille High Protein Fusilli Pasta—a millet-based, protein-rich pasta that combines the comfort of Italian food with the goodness of Indian superfoods. It’s the perfect way to make pasta night both tasty and healthy for your kids.
Why Kids Need High-Protein Meals
Protein is the building block of growth. For children, it supports:
- Stronger muscles and bones
- Improved immunity
- Better focus and energy during school and playtime
