[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could you make some bran muffins with dark chocolate, and dried apricot, maybe stir some seed butter in?

Or trail mix with fortified cereal, pumpkin seeds, dried fruit and dark chocolate chips? Plus some orange juice?

I would look at getting some heme iron in too, but these would make a good dessert.[/quote]
These are good ideas.

The most kid friendly high iron foods are going to be dried fruits, dark chocolate (but check label, it has to be good real dark chocolate), fortified cereals, molasses

[b]FYI, calcium/dairy blocks iron absorption and vice versa.[/b]  So be mindful of what foods they are eating together.  I think the muffins and trail mix the PP posted are good ideas[/quote]
This is interesting, didn’t realize it. Quite odd that high iron cereals promote the iron when you wouldn’t get the benefit. I can’t imagine Raisin Bran or Shredded Wheat taste good dry.[/quote]

Not PP, but I don’t think just milk on your cereal will block iron absorption — but if you are drinking milk all day long, like many kids do, then it becomes a problem.[/quote]
