But it&#8217;s very topical in my house and hopefully you&#8217;ll enjoy these recipe ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We make adult size&nbsp;servings of the following five recipes for our daughter, Pia, because I inevitably steal half&nbsp;of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pia is 11 months old. We&#8217;ve been experimenting with food since she was 6 months. I say &#8216;we&#8217;, but I deserve little acknowledgement. Lindsay has been doing the hard yards, hand-making every meal she eats. She&#8217;s also been breastfeeding Pia since day one.&nbsp;Therefore most of Pia&#8217;s nutrition comes from mother&#8217;s milk and food is just a compliment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t fully understand the nutritional needs of a baby but everything I read says their diets need to be high in fat, predominately because it&#8217;s essential food for their developing brain. So we look for coconut milk, avocado, almond butter and other plant based ingredients. And we&#8217;re trying to get Pia on the fruit and veggie bandwagon early. All of the vitamins and minerals that adults thrive off have to help a baby. Plus, we can&#8217;t let Pia develop the vegetable hating palate that I had for the first&nbsp;25 years of my life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other vitamins and minerals that we try to target are iron, calcium, magnesium and zinc. They&#8217;re all critical, and often deficient, in babies. But you&#8217;re better off speaking to a pediatrician with current food knowledge or&nbsp;a qualified baby naturopath\/nutritionist for more info. We&#8217;re seeking one out professional help now as most of&nbsp;the information online reflects the 1980&#8217;s food pyramid. I refuse to believe that milk, cheese and commercially produced powder from another species is the&nbsp;perfect food for a developing human being.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Until we find professional expertise, we&#8217;ll continue feeding Pia simple recipes that use ingredients high in vitamins, minerals and fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Baby Smoothie<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pia isn&#8217;t&nbsp;a massive fan of eating greens. We try saut\u00e9ed spinach and steamed broccoli in various dishes and she&#8217;ll pick it out. Even when I get it into her mouth in a mixed spoonful she&#8217;ll reach in and dig it out!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So we turn to the blender for sneaky greens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I make an adult size smoothie and share it with her. The green moustache gets me every time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Frozen banana &#8211; 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Baby spinach &#8211; big handful<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Flax seed meal &#8211; 2 tablespoons<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Almond butter &#8211; 1 tablespoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pitted date &#8211; 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cinnamon &#8211; 1\/2 teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coconut milk &#8211; 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water &#8211; 1 cup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blend until creamy and share with your child<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sweet Potato Pancakes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The recipe calls for vitamin C rich sweet potato flour but you can use oats or any other flour you prefer. Pia goes bananas for these. I love foods that you can put in front of her and she feeds herself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Ripe banana &#8211; 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free range eggs &#8211; 2<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweet potato flour &#8211; 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cinnamon &#8211; 1 teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coconut milk (from can) &#8211; 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water &#8211; 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optional &#8211; Organic blueberries &#8211; 2 tablespoons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Using medium heat, fire up your fry pan with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blend all the ingredients together except the optional blueberries; I use my NutriBullet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blend for like 5-10 seconds, it doesn&#8217;t take long<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir in blueberries to the mixture and pour three or four pancakes into the pan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn when they begin to bubble and let them cool before serving<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coconut Chia<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A big creamy serve of brain nourishing coconut fat with the omega-3s of chia. Plus, chia is full of fibre which we focus on because Pia makes bowel movements look more painful than childbirth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you&#8217;re looking for coconut milk it should be in a can. Our organic grocer has the good stuff. It has one ingredient. Coconut. Another goodie is&nbsp;described as coconut extract and water. Don&#8217;t buy any other kind; two ingredients max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Coconut milk (can) &#8211; 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chia seeds &#8211; 1\/3 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cinnamon &#8211; 1 teaspoon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add all three ingredients to a mason jar and shake it aroud<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Repeat every five minutes for 20 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve with finely chopped fruit<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Almond Butter\u00a0Quesadilla<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The most common tortilla wraps, at least in Australia, are full of preservatives. They stay &#8216;fresh&#8217; for months at a time, and that isn&#8217;t a good thing. If you can, put some time into finding the best tortilla wrap. We use a store bought product that is made of quinoa flour. Any wholewheat or alternative flour recipe without preservatives is a winner.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Wholewheat tortilla &#8211; 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ripe banana &#8211; 1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Almond butter &#8211; 1 heaped tablespoon<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lay your tortilla out on a chopping board and spread your almond butter across half the surface<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dice banana and place on top of almond butter layer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fold the tortilla over so it&#8217;s a half circle<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Warm your fry pan with medium heat and add a teaspoon of coconut oil<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add your quesadilla and brown both sides<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depending on the age of your child, you may need to cut the is up skinny or triangular<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Coconut Oatmeal<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I rarely use the microwave. This is an exception. It&#8217;s so much faster and cleaner than cranking out the stovetop. But up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Rolled oats &#8211; 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Coconut milk &#8211; 1\/4 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Water &#8211; 1\/2 cup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cinnamon &#8211; 1 teaspoon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fruit (any) &#8211; finely chopped<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Finely chop any fruit; pear or apple work well here<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add everything to a bowl and stir<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put in the microwave for 1 minute on high<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stir, taste and potentially cook for another 20 seconds if the oats are still too firm<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve after cooled<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baby nutrition is a whole can of worms that I barely want to get into.
