This one is my favourite as well as a bunch of Europeans! Fresh and cool in summer but it can also be heated in the microwave in winter as a nice warm porridge. Also great as a takeaway option for busy people with hectic morning schedules. This breakfast has your iron needs sorted with oats, seeds and dried fruit containing a good source of non-haem iron and the vitamin C in apple and orange juice to help with absorption! Just avoid eating within a couple hours of having tea or coffee which inhibit iron absorption.
Guten Appetit!
