I think that is healthier than just taking garri alone soaked in water.

Firstly drinking garri, a popular West African food made from cassava, does not inherently cause malnutrition, but its nutritional limitations can contribute to it if consumed improperly or excessively without a balanced diet.
Garri is primarily a carbohydrate source, rich in calories but low in proteins, vitamins, and minerals.
