Healthy wealthy food is our basic need in our day today life without any age barrier.Most of the time we mothers are unable to tackle their food preferences.Having sathu maavu at home is the best option.Its better to know how to make health mix at home than buying it from stores.Some two years back I was discussing about this sathumavu powder with my friend Priya who makes it often.She gave a very long list of ingredients about 33 items but she said she does not make always according to the list she may miss some ingredients and do.She says it turns out to be hit at her home every time.I shortlisted some of the items from her list and made with some 18 items according to my need.It turned out to be a hit at my home too and from then Iam making it for the continuous two years.Whatever may be the reason every day balanced meal is a must for all especially for growing kids.So,this sathumavu is one of the best solutions to make our kids day-plan balanced.The main importance lies in the roasting part it should be done to perfection so that it will keep longer.Best healthy after school drink that my kids do not regret ever is this Sathumaavu/Health-mix/multi-grain powder.
