\n

This simple dish has a lovely, naturally sweet flavour that your baby can enjoy at any time of day, or even as a dessert<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Ideal from around 6 months of age, it is highly nutritious and tastes best when served right after preparation.<\/p>\n

\"A\"A<\/p>\n

Why is this Strawberry, Banana, and Beet Mash so Good for Your Baby?<\/h2>\n

Great for boosting your little one\u2019s immune system<\/a>, this dish is made with three very healthy ingredients \u2013 strawberry, banana, and beets (also known as beetroot).<\/p>\n

Strawberries<\/h3>\n

Rich in phenols \u2013 compounds that promote heart health and protect the body from serious diseases like cancer \u2013 strawberries are packed with vitamins and minerals too.<\/p>\n

These include vitamins A, B, C, and K, plus folate, fiber, and even omega 3 fatty acids!<\/p>\n

Bananas<\/h3>\n

Bananas are another great source of nutrients, rich in vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, calcium<\/a>, magnesium, iron and zinc.<\/p>\n

They also contain pectin, a soluble fiber that helps prevent constipation<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Plus, of course, they\u2019re deliciously sweet, so they pair perfectly with other fruits that may be a little more sour.<\/p>\n

Beets\/beetroot<\/h3>\n

With a sweet, earthy flavour, brightly coloured beets are one of the healthiest foods out there. <\/p>\n

They are packed with vitamin C and great for digestion, potentially helping improve the symptoms of infant reflux<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"A\"A<\/p>\n

This Dish Introduces a Little Texture<\/h2>\n

You can puree this dish to a completely smooth texture if you like, but in our recipe we\u2019ve mashed the banana instead of pureeing it.<\/p>\n

Those soft little lumps of banana make a nice introduction to textured foods if your baby is moving on from smooth purees.<\/p>\n

Planning ahead<\/h2>\n

This recipe uses a cooked beet, so you\u2019ll need to have this on hand before you start.<\/p>\n

Obviously, we wouldn\u2019t recommend cooking one beet just for this recipe. Instead, we like to pop a few in the oven when cooking the family meal, then put them in the freezer ready to use in our recipes as and when we need them.<\/p>\n

Storage<\/h2>\n

This recipe makes 1 portion, which we recommend serving as soon as it\u2019s prepared.<\/p>\n

If you want to save time by preparing some in advance, we recommend freezing the pureed strawberry and beet mixture, then adding the mashed banana when you are ready to serve the dish to your baby.<\/p>\n
