Oats are One of the Healthiest Grains!

Growing up, I loved making oatmeal and chocolate chip cookies. But oats have become a staple in our household full of growing children.

Old fashioned or rolled oats are a gluten-free whole grain. They are also a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Loading them into our kids diets mean they are going to be full longer, have healthier intestines for processing food and get the maximum advantage of the vitamins and minerals.

Plus, you know we love antioxidants around here.
