Strawberry, Sweet Potato + Farro Baby Food
Oh man! Sweet potatoes, strawberries and cinnamon <——- this is a match made in baby puree heaven!
This puree is a little sweet and a little savory – a deep rich taste from the sweet potatoes, a little summer fun kick from the strawberries and a little spicy wholesome cinnamon for a complimentary flavor kick, are all blended together before being swirled in with nutty and chewy farro.
You can serve this as a chunky puree with a little cooked farro, or you can puree the farro along with the sweet potato mixture for a smooth puree for baby. Either way, this puree has it going on!
I spooned this puree into reusable pouches for the girls and they couldn’t get enough! They went through 6 pouches in 2 days!! I probably should monitor their pouch intake but when they are eating pouches full of beta carotene, vitamin C, antioxidants, fiber and protein for a snack, I always cave.
