You can prepare the first snacks with ingredients such as sweet potato, beetroot, tomato, zucchini, cauliflower, peas, green beans, broccoli, pumpkin, or carrot. These flavors are often well-tolerated. Use the recipe below to make a simple and healthy first snack.
You can make vegetable snacks in larger quantities and freeze them so you always have a stock. Follow these steps:
- Wash the vegetables – Rinse the vegetables thoroughly under running water and remove any bad spots or leaves.
- Cook without salt – Cook the vegetables in a small amount of water until they are tender. The cooking time varies depending on the vegetable.
- Cool down – Place the cooked vegetables in a bowl of cold water to cool them down quickly.
- Mash – Mash the vegetables with a fork, grate them, or use a hand blender or food processor for a smooth texture.
- Divide into portions – Take a small portion for your baby and store an extra portion in the fridge for the next day.
- Freeze – Divide the rest into freezer bags, containers, or an ice cube tray. Make sure everything is well sealed.
- Label – Write the date and the contents of the snack on the packaging.
- Store – Freeze the snacks and use them within three months.
