Chayote and Carrots

Chayote and Carrots

2 chayote squash
Approx 6 carrots

Instructions:
1. Wash and cut chayote and carrots into chunks
2. Bring 1 cup water to a boil
3. Add your ingredients, and set burner to medium
4. Boil until you can pierce the carrots all the way through
5. Drain the veggies, but SAVE the broth
6. Blend ingredients
7. Add the leftover broth to thin the consistency if needed
(You can also use the broth to add to a stew, soup etc)
8. Fill up your @KiddoFeedo tray with the mixture

Please note that removing the skin and or seeds of the chayote is optional. The whole plant is edible. When cooked chayote is blended, the consistency reminds me of that of an apple.

CACTUS PEAR, MANGO & BANANA (6M+)

Quick note for this one is that some cactus pear still have needles in them. I’m terrified of splinters, so I use tongs to hold them while I cut in half, and then a spoon to scoop out the ‘meat’. Secondly, cactus pear do have little seeds in them. They are small, and do not pose as choking hazards to little ones.

As these ingredients are fully raw, they can also be consumed as a juice (use a nut milk bag or strainer to remove the pulp), ice pops, fruit salad, smoothie and lots more!

Ingredients:
2 bananas
2 cactus pears
1 large mango

Instructions:
Blend everything together and serve

Jackfruit, Banana, Strawberry (6m+)

We had family over today, and guess what they brought us…some delicious jackfruit! Yessss! It’s been a while since I have had it fresh, so digging into this puppy was a blast. We ended up with two large bags full, and it’s pretty hot out…so why not try a new combo? This was a hit with the kids, so I’d like to share it with you! It’s great for little ones from the age of weaning and onward. This batch made about 31.4oz, but keep in mind that the quantity will be give or take, depending on the size of your produce.

Ingredients:
7 pods of fresh Jackfruit
Banana
15-20 Strawberries
Chia seeds
1/2 cup water

Instructions:
Blend ingredients and serve

Papaya & Peach

Not much to say about this combo, as it’s only two ingredients and pretty straight forward. It tastes great, and the peach adds an extra fruity flavour for those with papayas that taste a little on the blander side. Please enjoy!

INGREDIENTS:
1/2 papaya
2 handfuls of frozen peaches

INSTRUCTIONS:
Blend and serve

Bell Pepper, Nectarine & Grapes (No Cook Recipe)

Here’s a quick and easy no cook baby food recipe. I say ‘baby food’ because this website is directed to food ideas of babies, but don’t let that fool you. I am a hug advocate for the idea that if an adult wouldn’t eat it, neither should the child, except for human milk which is of course designed by mother nature to feed baby for the first few months/years of their lives. So while this can be fed to a little child from the stage of weaning and up, please note that I do not hesitate to make this in a larger batch and drink it myself. This is a puree, smoothie, smoothie bowl, ice pop, and everything in between, because it can be served in so many ways. That’s the fun part about raw food.

This combo is full of fibre, water (from the fruits), vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and plant based iron. If you’re looking for a new juice to try, simple run these through a juicer to separate the pulp.

INGREDIENTS:
4 nectarines
1 handful of green grapes
1/2 orange bell pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Wash and cut ingredients
2. Blend and serve
