National Nutrition Week arrives on time! We’re celebrating the 1-year anniversary of launching our millet burger buns, and it’s been a few weeks since we added the HIGHLY delicious Protein PLUS slice to our menu. 🤗
Let’s recap a little on our Real Food, Real Good story ⬇
As McDonald’s India, we love being a place that has not just young McFans but older ones too! It’s remarkable for us to deliver on all counts – from ingredients to flavours, to adding burgers and sides to our menu that cater to your sentiments and taste-buds too.
Our #1 burger, the McAloo Tikki Burger® is a well-known Indian addition to our menu – it’s noted for its proportions of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats matching those recommended by the National Institute of Nutrition (Hyderabad).
Like our McAloo Tikki Burger®, we wanted more items on our menu to be Real Food, Real Good. This simply means that select McDonald’s India menu items are FREE from Artificial Colours, Artificial Flavours, and there’s NO Added MSG in our chicken offerings, either. Yes, McSpicy Fried Chicken & Crispy Fried Chicken (served at our South outlets), and your favourite – Fries! 🍟
Inspired by your love, we introduced…
Our Multi-Millet Buns, launched in 2024! And the Protein PLUS slice, launched this year, in 2025. We collaborated with the prestigious CSIR-CFTRI to craft them with expertise and intention.
The McDonald’s millet burger buns contain the richness of 5 nutrient-dense millets: Bajra, Ragi, Jowar, Proso, and Kodo. Millets are packed with high protein, fibre, and antioxidant content, and we knew this was a yummy way to up your millet intake.
Then there’s our 100% vegetarian Protein PLUS slice. Made of pea protein and soy protein, this add-on gives and gives: an extra boost of energy, 5 grams of protein, all while enhancing the flavour of your most-loved McDonald’s burger (add it to any of our burgers!).
The Protein PLUS slice has NO onion and NO garlic – and NO Artificial Colours and NO Artificial Flavours OR preservatives too. Since one slice contains 5 grams of protein, you can customise your protein intake by adding 1 or more slices to your burger.
From conceptualising and meticulous research to rigorous testing and tasting sessions aplenty, enjoy this peek into the making of our Protein PLUS slice.

In addition to crafting good-for-you menu items – we routinely review our offerings. We’ve decreased the sodium levels in our fries. There are reduced fats in our mayonnaise spread and Soft Serve ice cream. Our whole-wheat wraps contain a lot of dietary fibre.
