Sweet Potato & Broccoli Puree

Age: 6+ Months
Suitable for Freezing
Ingredients

  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and chopped
  • 3/4 c. broccoli florets
  • 1 tbsp. unsalted butter
  • 1-2 tsp. your baby's usual milk
Directions

  1. Steam the sweet potato (aprox. 12 min.) and broccoli (aprox. 6-7 min.) until tender.
  2. Place sweet potato and broccoli in a food processor. Add milk and butter. Puree until smooth, adding water from the steamer as needed.

Note: Broccoli is best steamed or microwaved, as boiling halves its vitamin C content. If your baby isn't keen on the flavor, mix it with a sweet-tasting vegetable like sweet potato, rutabaga, butternut squash, or pumpkin. As a variation on this recipe, try sweet potato and peas or sweet potato and squash.
