TABC bees do you ever feel like your
kids don't eat enough vegetables or do
you just need more baby food recipe
ideas well today I have six and a
receipt here will be my food taste
tester as you can tell she clearly likes
to play with things anyways if you guys
are excited for arrises birth month and
excited to see more baby stuff be sure
to hit that like button and don't forget
to subscribe for more friendly easy
recipes for busy bees well go ahead and
get started with our baby food so first
I wanted to share these reusable baby
pouches that I bought on Amazon they
come in various sizes but this one I got
as a large and I think it's 6 ounces but
they're super cute and they're way more
budget-friendly than if you were to buy
them each at the store I was at Target
the other day and it was a little bit
questionable that baby food was just out
I mean how do they keep them fresh and
like I know they go bad and they have
mold and stuff in them so I feel so much
better making my own for aera see if you
guys are interested in finding out more
about these baby packs be sure to check
the link in the description box alright
but we'll go ahead and get started with
our first recipe which I call beats by
mom I have one cup of beets that I've
cut up into smaller pieces
protip they'll steam faster add them to
my steamer and then I have 1 cup of
frozen strawberries and then I'll seam
them for about 5 minutes until the beets
are nice and tender
alright let's mix everything up here
I'll add a quarter cup of raspberries
into my blender raspberries help baby's
body to absorb iron from food and then I
have 1 tablespoon of chia seeds that
I've already soaked chia seeds are an
amazing source of protein fiber healthy
fats and antioxidants then we have our
steamed strawberries which are a great
source of vitamin C and calcium and then
our beets
they have plenty of vitamins and
minerals also good for brain development
and then to thin it out I have a quarter
cup of water now let's blend it up now
depending on your baby's age or
preference you can blend these out to be
nice and chunky or really smooth
all right let's choose from our smoothie
packs I think I'll go with panda I'll
just open the pouch nice and roomy and
don't worry I've tested it they won't
explode on you the seal is really good
now I'll fill the pouch three quarters
of the way full and seal it up so cute
if you guys don't want to use these
pouches go ahead and fill a four ounce
mason jar up cap it and you can keep it
in the fridge up to three days
alternatively if you have a lot of extra
puree you can go ahead and freeze them
in these ice cube molds for up to three
months this ice cube mold is a lifesaver
I'm telling you I think she likes it
folks
[Music]
beats my mom is a winner next up we have
hello sunshine I'll start with one cup
of chopped up mangoes mangoes are said
to help boost immunity and reduce baby's
risk of a common cold then I have about
1 cup of peaches which is also great to
help the baby with constipation and then
a quarter cup of cooked oatmeal which
has lots of fiber to keep her full one
teaspoon of coconut oil which provides
healthy fats and finally 1/4 cup of
water to thin everything out now I'll
just blend and pack it up
and any leftover I'll just go ahead and
freeze just so you know most of the
ingredients were steamed before taping
the video I used the combination of
frozen and fresh for example the peaches
were frozen because peaches aren't in
season right now but I definitely wanted
to introduce peaches to her so I just
parse steamed them for about three to
five minutes until they're just barely
soft and as always be sure to check with
your pediatrician before introducing any
new foods to your babies what do you
think I think she may even like this
pack more than beats by mom oh thank you
thank you I actually tested this one and
it's pretty darn good I would eat this
okay moving on to our next one
we have our sweet greens here I have
half a cup of peas which are high in
lutein for eye development and our great
source of fiber then I have 1 cup of
pear that I've par steamed it's also
another great fruit to alleviate
constipation a cup of kale another
superfood that's a great source of
vitamins and minerals and loads of
calcium for strong teeth and bones and
of course some water to thin it out
blend blend blend
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
folks I've been blessed with a non picky
eater she actually loves peas and kale
but I actually think the pears really
help - all right well she finishes this
pouch because I feel really good about
her eating her greens we're gonna move
on to our next one which is the nutty
bean for this one I have one cup of
butternut squash that I've already
steamed this will help increase baby's
weight 1/2 a cup of steamed green beans
this will help boost baby's immune
system and then 1/4 cup of cooked brown
rice brown rice is versatile and babies
are rarely allergic to it and then about
half a cup of water look at that texture
nice and thick I think she wants the
sweet green back this is funny because I
started aresty off with butternut and
green beans and she loved that
combination it's a really easy one to
start your babies off with all right
next up we have the sweet apple of my
eye I'll add 1 cup of chopped already
steamed apples to my blender Apple's
help prevent diarrhea and then one cup
of steamed sweet potatoes these are high
in calories so they help babies to gain
weight a quarter teaspoon of cinnamon
just to introduce baby to a new spice
and flavor a quarter cup of quinoa which
is a complete and balanced pack of
protein and enough water to thin it out
here's another tip the more starchy your
food like rice beans sweet potatoes the
more water you're going to need to add
to thin it out for easy blending
[Music]
I love this orange color
yeah so for me I really like the
addition of the cinnamon just to kind of
open up her palate to new flavors and
the quinoa is another really interesting
ingredient that has a lot of protein and
it's healthy for her and finally if any
of you guys watch little baby bum this
one here was inspired by that one it's
called eat your veggies eat your
vegetables they're yum yum crunchy grab
a plate add some peas we'll start with a
quarter cup of white beans which are
high in fiber and it helps them stay
regular then we have one carrot which is
high in lutein and great for eye health
and one cup of broccoli that's super
rich and iron by the way all the
vegetables here are steamed and finally
about half a cup of water so I hope you
guys enjoyed this BB food video another
tip that I have for you guys don't make
the mistake that I did and give her the
vegetables the carrots white beans and
broccoli last always make sure to give
it to them first so that they finish
their veggies before moving on to the
sweets I found that once I gave areas
see the sweet ones on a typical day for
lunch or something she will just stick
to the sweet sugary ones and will
totally disregard her veggies just like
she did today if you guys have some fun
