Healthy recipe for 1 year baby

When introducing solid foods to a 1-year-old baby, it’s important to choose healthy options that provide the right balance of nutrients. Here’s a recipe for a simple and healthy puree that your 1-year-old baby can enjoy:

Ingredients:

• 1 small sweet potato, peeled and diced
• 1 small apple, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1/4 cup of water or breast milk

Instructions:

1. Steam the sweet potato and apple until they are tender. You can use a steamer basket or microwave.
2. Once the sweet potato and apple are tenders, put them in a blender or food processor.
3. Add the water or breast milk and blend until smooth.
4. If the puree is too thick, add a little more liquid to get the desired consistency for your baby.
5. Serve the puree warm or at room temperature, you can also store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

This puree is a good option because it provides a variety of vitamins and minerals, such as vitamins A, C, potassium, and fiber. The sweetness of the sweet potato combined with the tartness of the apple makes it an appealing taste for babies.

As your baby grows, you can start to introduce other food items like mashed avocado, pureed berries, peas, carrots, or beans. Also, remember that as babies start to eat solid food, they still need breastmilk or formula as their primary source of nutrition.
