Naturally sweet: cook your own porridge with various fruits and vegetables
Every single ingredient in the porridge recipes has its own superpower. Bananas, for example, make you wonderfully full. What all the recipes have in common is that, thanks to the different types of fruit and vegetables, they provide plenty of important fiber.
Making Baby Food Yourself for Beginners
If you are just at the very beginning of introducing solids and are just starting with baby food, we recommend slowly starting with a single vegetable such as carrot, i.e., carrot purée, and then adding the next ingredient, such as potato, after two or three meals. As a next step, you can then try the “Porridge with Carrot & Apple” recipe card, for example.
