Avocados are a local food source that is rich in nutrients. Milk is a good source of animal protein and calcium. An alternative source of vegetable protein that is high in protein and iron content is green beans. The objectives of this research are Identifying the acceptability and protein con-tent of "Velva Avocado Skimmed Milk with the Addition of Green Beans" as an alternative snack for toddlers to prevent stunting. True experimental research was conducted with a control group and two groups that received treatment. The or-ganoleptic tests were conducted on 25 panelists.
