Serves 1
15 minutes
Difficulty Easy
2 Ingredients

For babies above 6 months

Ingredients (serves 1)

1 carrot
1/2 swede

Method

Peel and chop the carrot and swede and place in a pot of boiling water. Boil for around 10 minutes, or until soft.
Strain and reserve some of the water
Puree in blender until smooth, adding a little reserved water to make it a nice consistency.

Notes

Carrots are great first foods for babies but when they are pureed, they can become a bit thin and lumpy. By adding the swede, you’ll be able to puree this combo to a delicious creamy consistency your baby will find easy to eat. This puree can be frozen for up to 6 weeks

Another great combo is carrot and parsnip mashed together. They just compliment each other so well

  Swede is an under rated and yet-nutritious vegie.

The carrot and swede combination it is true
Is great a bit solider as a side dish for adults too
Also mashed potato, pumpkin and sweet potato are also delicio
for adults and older kids give winter eating a glow
