Spinach and Potato Purée — A Soft, Nourishing Green Meal for 8+ Months
A natural vegetable purée where fresh spinach meets tender potato, blended until smooth and prepared with no additives. From 8 months; with its folate, iron and pairing with vitamin C-rich foods, it can offer your baby a balanced, satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 1 small bunch (about 50 g) Fresh spinach (washed, thick stems removed)
- 1 piece (about 120 g) Medium potato (peeled, cut into small cubes)
- as needed Drinking water (for boiling)
- 1-2 tablespoons Breast milk, prepared formula or lukewarm boiled water (to adjust consistency)
- 2-3 drops Olive oil (optional)
Directions
- 1
Wash your hands and the bowl and spoons you will use. Rinse the spinach well under running water and remove the thick stems. Peel the potato and cut it into small cubes.
- 2
Place the potato cubes in a small pot with enough drinking water; once it starts to boil, lower the heat and cook for 10-12 minutes until soft enough to mash easily with a fork.
- 3
In the last 2-3 minutes, add the washed spinach leaves; cook briefly until they wilt and soften while keeping their bright green colour, without overcooking.
- 4
Take the pot off the heat and let it cool slightly; strain some of the cooking water into a separate cup to adjust the consistency.
- 5
Transfer the potato and spinach to a bowl and mash with a fork or blender until you have a smooth purée.
- 6
If it is too thick, add a little of the reserved cooking water or breast milk/formula, a spoon at a time, until soft and flowing. You may add 2-3 drops of olive oil if you wish.
- 7
Cool the purée until lukewarm; always check the temperature yourself before offering it to your baby.
🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Spinach can gently contribute to development in this period with nutrients such as folate and iron. Potato, with its soft texture and energy, helps your baby accept the purée easily. Serving spinach alongside fresh foods rich in vitamin C can support the absorption of its iron. With its additive-free, natural content, it can be a balanced first vegetable meal.
