Mango Quinoa and Apple baby puree recipe - baby food (+6 months) (2024)

Did you know that quinoa is actually a seed and not a grain? Still, itis packed with fiber, calcium, iron and folate. That’s why quinoa is an healthy food to add in your baby’s diet starting at 6months of age. Being super easy to digest, you can really start introducing quinoa in your baby’s diet from the very beginning.

Quinoa is super simple to prepare, almost like rice and couscous: you let it cook for 15 min in some boiling water, that’s it! and that’s why, while I prepare a baby recipe using quinoa, I always cook a bigger amount so that I can make a nice quinoa salad for the rest of the family. One family, one meal 🙂

An additional bonus: quinoa isgluten free, so it’s perfect if your baby is allergic/intolerant to gluten.

Also, thanks to its high protein content (higher than any grain!!), quinoa is a wonderful source of protein if your baby is following a vegetarian diet.

This nutritious grain makes a great addition to your little one’s diet.It’s a very versatile ingredient, perfect for sweet or savory baby meals. Today we are going to prepare a delicate sweet recipe: mango, apple and quinoa baby puree’.

The quantities suggested in the recipe will make 8/9 baby portions. You can offer one to your little one as soon as you prepare it and store the remaining ones either in the refrigerator for 3 days max or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I used a very functional 100% silicone baby food container with lid by Lilipopkids. You can find it at www.lilipopkids.com or on Amazon
