Ingredients

  • ½ cup cooked quinoa
  • 4 tablespoon liquid
  • 30 g carrot steamed
  • 30 g apple cooked

Instructions

  • Blend all the ingredients together until smooth

Notes

  1. My technique to cook quinoa. Place quinoa in a saucepan, rinse with cold water, drain, then add double the amount of water. ie 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed
  2. You can use any liquid when you blend, water, broth, breast milk, baby formula etc
  3. Tip store-bought unsweetened applesauce can also be used to flavour quinoa baby cereal
  4. You can freeze this recipe, I use an ice tray, and defrost/heat as needed
