Since weelicious launched, the funniest comment I’ve heard was “I love the recipes, but some of them look regurgitated”. Come on now, they’re purees, what do you expect? We were all babies once and we all ate soft and silky purees.
I can only imagine the comments I’ll hear after posting this recipe, but trust me, it’s delicious and nutritious. Kenya didn’t miss a beat when I fed it to him for the first time.
Greens are essential for babies and toddlers, especially broccoli and spinach which are high in beta-carotene, folic acid, iron and vitamin C. By steaming instead of boiling the vegetables, you save over 1/2 the water soluble vitamins that you would lose by submerging them in hot water.

Broccoli & Spinach Puree (10 Baby Servings)

1 Cup Broccoli, florets and stems peeled
2 Cups Spinach, packed or 16 ounce bag frozen

1. Put broccoli in a steamer pot over boiling water for 2 minutes.
2. Add spinach and cook another 2-3 minutes or until broccoli is fork tender.
3. Put ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth.
4. Cool and serve.
