Infants and toddlers experience rapid growth throughout the first few years of life, and eating enough protein  is a vital contributor to making that growth possible. 

Proteins provide our body with the building blocks it needs to grow. They also maintain and replace body tissue, such as muscles, bones, blood, and body organs.

It can be hard to get enough protein into kids, they naturally like carbohydrate foods like bread & pasta because they're easy to eat. Here are some yummy ideas that provide a balance of protein, healthy fats & complex carbohydrates.
