Ingredients

½ cup cooked quinoa
4 tablespoon liquid
30 g carrot steamed
30 g apple cooked

Instructions

Blend all the ingredients together until smooth

Notes

My technique to cook quinoa. Place quinoa in a saucepan, rinse with cold water, drain, then add double the amount of water. ie 1 cup quinoa to 2 cups water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10-15 minutes until the liquid has been absorbed
You can use any liquid when you blend, water, broth, breast milk, baby formula etc
Tip store-bought unsweetened applesauce can also be used to flavour quinoa baby cereal
You can freeze this recipe, I use an ice tray, and defrost/heat as needed
