Silky Carrot and Apple Purée — A Naturally Sweet, Colourful First Spoonful for 6+ Months
Made from carrot and apple, this smooth purée is a naturally sweet, colourful and easy-to-digest meal your baby can meet from 6 months. Just two ingredients, ready in a short time.
Ingredients
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 small Apple
- 3-4 tbsp Boiled, cooled drinking water
Directions
- 1
Wash the carrot well, peel it and cut into small cubes.
- 2
Wash and peel the apple, remove the core and cut into small cubes.
- 3
In a pot with very little water, first steam the carrot over low heat (about 8-10 minutes); once it begins to soften, add the apple and cook together for 5 more minutes.
- 4
Blend the cooked carrot and apple, or mash well with a fork, until smooth.
- 5
If needed, loosen the texture to suit your baby with breast milk, follow-on milk, or boiled and cooled drinking water.
- 6
Serve once lukewarm; introduce each new ingredient one at a time, three days apart, and observe.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
With its natural beta-carotene (a precursor of vitamin A), carrot is one of the gentle vegetables a baby can meet first. The apple's natural sweetness and fibre make this purée both pleasant and easy to digest. This colourful two-ingredient purée can help your baby meet new flavours calmly.
