PROS

Also, the high content of oats and coconut might be too much for some individuals with sensitive stomachs.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Oats are a good source of fiber, which can help to reduce the risk of heart disease, lower cholesterol levels and keep blood sugar stable.
Barley flour is also rich in dietary fiber, protein, and minerals such as iron and zinc.
The use of coconut adds medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which can help to boost metabolism and aid in weight loss.
