This Apple, Carrot and Sweet Potato Baby Food Puree is a fun and vibrant meal for babies. It's made with three ingredients in less than 15 minutes! It's great for 6+ month puree—Stage 2 baby food.
Ingredients
- 3 apples, cored, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 sweet potato, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
Instructions
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 inches of water to a boil. In a steamer basket, add in all of the ingredients, place basket over boiling water and cover. Steam for 10-12 minutes or until all ingredients are tender. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Reserve steamer water.
- Transfer all ingredients into a blender or food processor and puree on high for 1-2 minutes. Add the reserved steamer water, breast milk or formula, in 1/4 cup increments, to get puree to the right consistency. I had to add 3/4 cup of water to the puree above.
