However, there are so many healthy and easy recipes to treat your young ones. In fact, some of them are so delicious that kids won’t understand that they are actually eating the vegetables they don’t like. Most importantly, if your child is a picky eater, you can boost up his iron level by incorporating different fruits and veggies in his pancakes. Besides, it would boost up his immunity system before going to school again.
