Sweet Potato Spinach & Pea Puree

Sweet Potato, Spinach & Pea Purée – A Creamy, Nutrient-Packed First Food For 6 Months Old & Up

This was one of my go-to purees when first starting solids. The purée brings together the creamy richness of sweet potato, the freshness of peas, and the gentle earthiness of spinach. Each spoonful offers essential vitamins, fiber, and plant-based goodness, making it ideal for babies around 6 months and up, whether you’re spoon-feeding or combining it with baby-led weaning meals. Sweet Potato, Spinach & Pea Purée makes a wholesome and flavorful first food choice. With a naturally smooth texture and beautiful bright green color, it’s appealing for both babies and parents and packed with nutrients to support your little one’s growth.

A Flavorful Start to Solid Foods:

This Sweet Potato, Spinach & Pea Purée is a simple yet nutrient-dense meal that gently introduces your baby to new textures and flavors. It’s soft, vibrant, and naturally sweet, making it a mealtime favorite for babies just beginning their food journey.

Why This Purée Is So Good for Babies:

This veggie-packed combination isn’t just delicious—it’s also incredibly nourishing. Here’s what each ingredient brings to the bowl:

• Sweet Potato: A baby food favorite, sweet potato is soft, naturally sweet, and rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A), which supports eye development and immunity. It also adds fiber and energy-boosting carbs.

• Spinach: Loaded with iron, calcium, and folate, spinach helps support blood health and early bone development. Cooking it gently removes bitterness and makes it easier to digest.

• Peas: Small but mighty, peas provide protein, fiber, and important vitamins like vitamin C and K. They also give the purée a beautiful green hue and a slightly sweet, fresh taste.

This combination of iron-rich veggies and vitamin A helps babies absorb nutrients better, supporting healthy growth during those critical early months.

Serving Ideas:

• Serve as a smooth purée on a preloaded spoon.

• Spread on soft toast fingers or mix into mashed lentils for older babies.

• Use it as a veggie base under soft-cooked grains like quinoa or couscous.

What You Need:

Steamer & Blender– I like to use a baby cooker it has a steamer and blender all in one.
