Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. In a steamer basket, add in the sweet potato, beet and beans, place basket over boiling water and cover. Steam for 12-15 minutes or until all ingredients are tender when pricked with a fork. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Reserve steamer water.

DID YOU MAKE THIS RECIPE?Mention @Babyfoode or tag #babyfoode!
Hi Michele! I’ve used many of your recipes for both of my babies and now our second baby refuses to eat store made baby food because your recipes have made her a little baby foodie! Score! Question: I have steamed whole organic beets in my fridge that I purchased from Costco. Could I use those and just steam the sweet potato and white beans and add it to the prepared beet or will it mess the flavor up?
Haha! Sorry.. not sorry;). Happy to hear shes a little foodie.
Yes! You can definitely use pre-steamed beets. Steam the sweet potato and beans and add the beets when you are pureeing.
Hi Michele
What kind of beans do you use: canned or dried?
Love your recipes! My 8 month old can get enough and always asks for more!
Love to hear this! I used canned (and rinsed) beans. You can use dried beans if you soak them first.
