If you are looking for a simple and quick breakfast idea for your little ones, this is one good example.
By making your own muesli, you’ll be able to avoid dried fruit (high sugar) and the roasting process, which denatures fatty acids – plus you get to control all the lovely ingredients.

Nutritional benefits of muesli:
— typically has less sugar and calories than most breakfast cereals on supermarket shelves
— high in fiber and whole grains, which regulate the digestive system, are filling and can aid in weight control
— good source of antioxidants
— the addition of nuts provides a great source of protein and omega-3 fatty acids (especially walnuts)
— milk or dairy alternatives that usually accompany muesli is a source of dairy and protein

The goodness of persimmons for baby:
These fruits are bursting with flavor and Vitamin C, A and B vitamins. One little persimmon contains almost 17 mg of Vitamin C! This fruit is great to serve to your little one to aid in Iron absorption.
It is also an energy-dense fruit. That’s why it is recommended for children, people playing sports and people who are physically or mentally tired.
