Super Greens + Prunes Baby Food Puree

Let’s me just say that there is a major addiction going on in our house and this week I am finally doing something about it.

The addiction is to refined sugar. Oh sugar, the thing that makes everything taste like heaven. Don’t get me wrong I believe that sugar is fine in small amounts and moderation but after little E’s Birthday, 5 of her friends Birthday parties and Mothers Day, our usual sugar and sweets moderation has turned into a routine occurrence at our house.

Spread of produce on a cutting board.

So this week, we are detoxing from all refined sugar, and I think it is safe to say that I am having a harder time then the little one is.

With her in mind, I made this power-house puree to ease this difficult transition. This puree is full of nutrient dense super greens that have high levels of fiber, vitamin C and iron which aid in detoxification and help to strengthen the immune system and dried prunes that help with digestion. A perfect combination of slightly sweet and extremely nutritious, this puree will be a hit regardless if you are detoxing or not.
