The Prolicious Nutrition Trio 

This Independence Day recipe isn't just about three colours. It is about bringing together three Prolicious products to create one colourful meal. 

Green = Prolicious Millet Vermicelli 
A wholesome base paired with spinach for a naturally vibrant green layer. 

Orange = Prolicious Pasta 
A delicious pasta layer made colourful with carrot and chipotle. 

White = Prolicious UP It! 
A simple protein and fibre boost added to the creamy vegetable layer. 

Together, they make the plate colourful, satisfying and nutritionally more complete. 

Why Is This Tricolour Meal Healthy? 

A beautiful plate is great, but a balanced plate is even better. 

This recipe combines carbohydrates, plant-based protein, vegetables, fibre and healthy ingredients in one festive meal. 

1. Protein Is Important for a Complete Meal 

Protein helps support muscle maintenance, growth and repair and also contributes to satiety. 

With Prolicious UP It! added directly into the white layer, this recipe gets an easy protein boost without changing the overall character of the dish. 

2. Spinach Adds a Nutrient-Rich Green 

The green layer isn't coloured artificially. It gets its vibrant appearance from spinach. 

Spinach contributes important micronutrients and antioxidants while adding freshness to the dish. 

3. Carrot Gives the Orange Layer Its Natural Colour 

The orange colour comes from carrot paste, which contains beta-carotene, a carotenoid that the body can convert into vitamin A. 

It also adds natural sweetness to balance the smoky chipotle flavour. 

4. Vegetables Add Colour, Fibre & Variety 

Bell peppers and other sautéed vegetables add crunch, colour and a variety of micronutrients. 

Adding vegetables to the creamy white layer helps make the meal more balanced rather than relying only on pasta and sauces. 

5. Three Prolicious Products, One Complete Meal 

The real highlight is how three Prolicious products come together: 

Millet Vermicelli + Pasta + UP It! 

Each one plays a different role in the recipe, helping you create a festive meal that is not only visually appealing but also more nutritionally purposeful.
