It works like wonder and my daughter also love it. Infact it’s a great way to include more fruits, fiber and iron rich food into your family’s diet.

- Oats – I used old fashioned oats in this recipe but you may use rolled oats as well. It is high in iron and fiber. Along with being a complex carbohydrate it is also rich in other vitamins and minerals.
