This puree is AWESOME.  It can be eaten alone or added to an organic, low sodium ricotta cheese or yogurt.  Broccoli is high in calcium and mango is high in Vitamin C making a perfect environment for maximum absorption of the strong bone building mineral, calcium!

Ingredients

  • Bag of frozen organic broccoli
  • Bag of frozen organic mango
  • Water

Directions:

  • Add about 1 cup of water to large pot with broccoli and mango.
  • Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Puree.
  • Freeze in ice cube tray or deviled egg platter
  • Remove cubes, label and store in Ziplock bag for 6 months.

Two for one!  Making baby food?  Why not make yourself a smoothie as well.  If you are not making baby food, just make this yummy smoothie for you and your family.  It is a fast, cool, refreshing and healthy treat on a hot summer day!  I made this over Memorial Day for a 1, 3, 4 and 6 year old.  They LOVED it!  My son who is one had his mixed with some vanilla yogurt but we omitted the honey (see directions below).

This baby food recipe is very high in vitamin C and would be a great addition to yogurt or kale to help your baby absorb the calcium.  It is also great to serve with chicken, beef or egg yolk to help absorb the iron!
