some crushed ice(optional) - we skipped it this time.

Process:
---------
Add all the ingredients to the blender/juicer and blend to form a thick yummy smoothie. Thats it !

Breakfast for 3 yr olds

This post is written by Ranjani of Eat And Talk.

All this food talk has made me also ask a doubt. What do u give ur toddlers for breakfast . Right now my 3 yr old daughter still eats gerber oatmeal cereal mixed with milk. She likes it & i didn't want to change it bcos its convinient & healthy .
Its not like she is not exposed to indian type breakfast, but i give that in the evening around 4 pm or for lunch/dinner. Now cereal has become like a comfort food to her as she asks for it as soon as she gets up . She doesn't like drinking milk , so this is hassle free for me as it has milk & also oats. Its heavy so i can rest assured even if she doesnt eat snack at school ( she comes home for lunch).
But now i feel that she needs to eat some grownup cereal & not baby food. i went to the store yesterday to buy quaker oats , but found gerber had more nutrition than quaker.
right now she goes to school just once a week . it will become twice a week from september.
so can anyone suggest some quick/heavy breakfast or atleast some good cereal which kids love. Or should i continue this gerber oatmeal? I dont want to give her those fruit loops, etc as they seem to have too much sugar.

P.S. we are vegetarians , but eat egg.
thanx in advance.
