Fruity Porridge Smoothie

1/4 cup uncooked oats
1/4 cup blueberry (or any berry)
2 tbsp apple juice

Put all ingredients in the blender and then blend.












PS
I double the ingredients because it's difficult to blend. And the result is actually enough for 1 serving for my baby's breakfast. She eats a lot obviously ;) and she loves it.

It's very sticky so might want to add more apple juice. The remaining apple juice I gave it to my baby but not pure.


PPS
A tip in giving juices to your baby, don't give it pure. I usually add the same amount of water to the juice. 1 is to 1 ratio. But then again, I don't recommend giving juices to your baby, it's not good for their teeth. As much as possible just water. A juice every now and then, is okay though ;) I think.
