Ingredients

  • 5 cups frozen organic broccoli
  • 5 cups frozen organic spinach
  • 10 cups frozen organic cauliflower
  • At least 16oz water - more for a thinner puree

Instructions

  • Put all of the frozen veggies in your steamer and steam for 5 minutes until the broccoli and spinach is bright green.
  • Put into a blender in batches (there will be too much to put in all at once). Add water to thin the puree.
  • Pour into ice cube trays, allow to cool, cover/wrap and freeze.
  • Thaw in the fridge the night before use, or thaw by putting the ice cube in a bowl over a bowl of hot water on the counter to defrost.

Notes

Expert Tips
  • There is a ton of fiber in this puree, so there is the potential for gas and/or tummy troubles if you introduce too much of it at once. As with any new food, introduce it slowly, early in the day so any after-effects or any allergic reaction is dealt with before bedtime.
  • This puree does not have a sweet flavor. If your baby rejects it outright, try mixing it with a baby puree that’s a bit sweeter like banana puree, pear puree, or any simple fruit purees with non-acidic fresh fruit (apples, ripe avocados, etc). You can also try mixing it with whole milk organic yogurt and a little bit of a different fruit puree.
  • This recipe makes 100 tablespoons of puree. One serving is about 4 tablespoons of vegetable puree.
  • Spice up your baby's food! Serve with a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, coriander, or mild curry powder. You can also bring a fresh earthy flavor to this recipe be adding fresh leafy green herbs such as cilantro, mint, parsley, or basil.
