Threptin is a meal between meals. That’s their tag line too. It’s a protein snack that is a family favorite. It’s a protein supplement with no soya. My daughter has Threptin as a snack since she was two years of age together with some other protein-rich snacks and milk. Children need nutrition as well as variety.But remember- you don’t need to give this if your child is getting her daily protein requirements from a well balanced diet.

In the growing age, you need protein boosts and children hate boredom
As a parent, I am forever trying out protein sources. While one egg a day and three fours small fish, daal is part of her daily protein intake. Rai likes only homemade baked goodies and doesn’t like cream biscuits or crave kurkurey, chips, etc. A big reason being, we don’t buy them eat them or have them at home A conscious decision which saves many a tummy ache.

We started Threptin after my hubby asked me to try this with our daughter.
Disclaimer: Talk to your doctor before starting or adding any new food in your child’s diet.
