Vitamin C Bowl

by

My Vitamin C Bowl is naturally loaded with vitamin C. I kept this snack simple and smooth the way most kids like it; however, other toppings can be added such as toasted coconut, blueberries, or even grain-free granola.

Nutrients: vitamins A, C, B6, folate, potassium & magnesium.
