The problem of undernutrition in toddlers in Indonesia is still an urgent public health issue. In an effort to overcome these problems, this community service program introduces the innovation of “Healthy Tempe Meatballs” as an alternative solution for Supplementary Food Provision (PMT) that is nutritious, affordable, and based on local ingredients. This activity was carried out in Tanjungharjo Village, involving posyandu cadres, KKN students, and local tempe MSMEs. Through counseling, demonstration of making tempeh meatballs, and interactive discussions, this activity succeeded in increasing the cadres' knowledge about the importance of balanced nutrition for toddlers. In addition, the program also empowered tempe MSMEs to support the village economy while increasing public awareness about the use of tempe as a high-value protein source
