Chicken, Potato and Leek Baby Food Recipe
Why is chicken a great baby food choice for reusable food pouches?
Chicken is very popular as a source of protein because it is cheap and readily available around the world. It is a highly nutritional baby food and the best part is that it contains less fat that other meats. It is rich in protein, vitamin B6 and the powerful antioxidant selenium.
Ingredients:
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
250g chicken, cut into cubes
1/4 leek, thinnly sliced
1 cup home-made vegetable stock or water
Instructions:
Step 1: In a large deep skillet, over medium heat, combine the potatoes, chicken cubes, leek and water or stock and cook until soft. You could also use a Beaba Baby Cook to cook this recipe.
Step 2: Cover and simmer for about 20-30 minutes, adding more liquid as needed to keep mixture from browning.
Step 3: Once chicken and potatoes are cooked through mash with a fork, or puree in a food processor and serve inside a Little Mashies pouch or freeze for later.
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.

Little Mashies reusable food pouch reviews
I Absolutely Love These
POSTED BY NIKKI
I absolutely love these. They are so much stronger than I expected and totally spill and leak proof. Even if I do up the lid fairly tight my 4 year old daughter is still able to open them easily. My daughter is very limited with the food she can eat so these have been amazing allowing me to send her food with her to kinder and prepare it ahead of time and freeze. The best purchase I have made in a long time. Could not be happier.
Children Love Them
POSTED BY PETRINA
I purchased these for my toddler nephews but found that my teenage children love having them as part of their lunch boxes too! I didn't predict that they would love them as much as the little ones do, especially when I freeze pureed mango.
