Carrot And Pear Baby Food Recipe
Homemade Carrot And Pear Baby Puree Recipe for reusable food pouches by Little Mashies
Why is carrot a great baby food choice for reusable food pouches?
Carrot is sweet, tasty and babies just love it! It is so versatile and is a gold mine of nutrients. It has a large amount of beta carotene which is converted into vitamin A, improving the immune system of your baby and providing a good function of the lungs, digestive tract, skin and eyesight. You can steam, mash, boil, fry or bake carrot and you get a slightly different flavour with each. You can mix it with fruits, vegetables or meat and it still tastes great.
Ingredients:
1 cup of pears, diced
1 cup of carrots, diced
Instructions:
Step 1: Cut pears and carrots into small pieces being careful to dice the carrots into smaller pieces than the pears so that they cook at the same time.
Step 2: Steam the diced carrots and pears in a stovetop steamer or a Beaba Baby Cook system for about 15 minutes or until soft.
Step 3: Puree the pears and carrots in a food processor or blender, using a little of the cooking liquid to get a desired smooth consistency (2 tablespoons). You can also use breast milk or formula to mix with the puree.
Step 4: If preparing your baby food recipe in bulk freeze the puree into ice-cube trays or spoon it straight into Little Mashies reusable food pouches and then store them in the fridge or freezer. For instructions on how to fill a refillable pouch you can read our blog. For info on how long to freeze specific baby foods for we have the information here.
Step 5: Label and date your homemade pouches so that you know when to use the puree by. There is a space on the back of the Little Mashies yoghurt and baby food pouches so that you can write all the details.
Step 6: To clean your reusable food pouches you can check out our Little Mashies video here. Little Mashies are see through when held towards light, so it is very easy to see that all of the food is washed out. Because of the specifically designed curved shape, all of the food washes straight out when held upside down under a tap. Little Mashies can also be used in the dishwasher and steam sterilisers, and are BPA free, Phthalate Free, and PVC free.

My Kids Love These
POSTED BY VANESSA
My kids love these! Love putting homemade yoghurt and smoothies in them. Best of all kids can't see what colour the smoothies are! For THAT mum who likes to hide greens and veg in everything! Lol!
These Are Awsome
POSTED BY UNKOWN
These are awesome to make your own food but still give the kids the joy of having the 'squeeze' option. These are better though as they look cooler than normal packaging.
The Pouches Are A Great Size
POSTED BY UNKOWN
The pouches are a great size 130 ml and the designs are cute. They are super easy to clean. My daughter enjoyed these more than the store bought pouches. I feel better that I know what she is eating. Everybody wins!
