    Review of Zerobeli Oats and Ladoo Recipe

    Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Start the day with a bowl of oats porridge, it keeps you energised for a long time.

    Recently, I was sent two packets of cereals labelled Zerobeli by Georgia Foods Company to review the products.  Zerobeli Oats is high fiber and protein rich, thus it helps to keep hunger pangs away for a longer time. One feels energized for long hours. It may help in reducing weight.

    Today,  I had Oats porridge  made with Zerobeli for breakfast. It was tasty and cooked so fast.  One needs no additional topping of nuts as it tastes good by itself. Next, shall try making the overnight oats, it is even more simpler, just mix oats in milk with any sweetener of your choice and refrigerate overnight, top with some fruits and it’s ready.

    Many different kind of dishes can be prepared using Zerobeli Oats. I made Oats ladoo and it was yummy. It is ideal to use in the mornings for breakfast or as a mid-day snack. Children are fussy eaters and should be given such healthy food.

    I had prepared Oats Dhokla too and it was super soft. It’s wonderful to replace our intake with oats in it. A healthy lifestyle begins with what we eat and Zerobeli is the ideal way to start with.  They have other cereal breakfast options too. It is available in outlets around Delhi but one can order online on their website.

    We are happy with the product and will be purchasing the same in the near future.

    Today, I am sharing the recipe of Oats Ladoo. I have tried to keep it healthy, it’s easy to make and can be made in fifteen minutes.

    • The batter can be kept in the refrigerator for four days.
    • You may add a teaspoon of tur dal also along with bengal gram while soaking the lentils.
    • For the potato veggie, a little ginger may be added.
