Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 5 servings

  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced, or more to taste

  • 1 apple, peeled, cored, and diced

  • 4 teaspoons breast milk

Directions

  1. Place carrots in a saucepan; cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Add apple; simmer until soft, about 5 minutes more. Drain.

  2. Combine cooked carrots and apple in a blender or food processor; add milk. Purée until smooth. Cool before serving.

Cook's Notes:

You can use formula or water instead of breast milk.

To freeze for later, fill an ice cube tray with purée. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours, then remove cubes from the tray and place in a freezer bag. To defrost, place in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds, or as needed.
