1. Apple-carrot: Blend 1-2 apples with 3 carrots that have been steamed. For a quick steaming method, you can place the chopped and peeled fruits and veggies in a microwave-safe glass bowl with a little water, or use the steamer basket. We use this electric steamer contraption, which makes everything easy to steam at once in layers. Add enough water to thin it out. Apples and pears can also be boiled for 7-9 minutes until tender.

2. Sweet potato, apple, cinnamon: Add baked sweet potato flesh, one peeled, steamed apple and a tiny pinch of cinnamon. A little goes a long way for tiny tastebuds. Blend well, with enough water to thin it out.

3. Zucchini-banana: Steam 3 zucchini and blend well with 2 fresh bananas, plus as much water as needed.

4. Broccoli, apple, kale: Steam 1/2 package of frozen organic broccoli (either in a steamer or glass bowl with a little water in the microwave- save the other half of the package for next month, or eat it yourself), with one peeled, steamed apple and 1/2 bag of kale, wilted in a little olive or coconut oil on the stove top. Add water as needed.

5. Spinach, pea, pear: Add half a package of defrosted frozen spinach (or fresh, wilted in a little olive or coconut oil on the stovetop), 1/2 package of frozen, organic defrosted peas (the other half of last month’s bag) and 2 pears.

6. Blueberry quinoa: Add frozen blueberries (about 1/2 bag) to cooked quinoa (about 1/2 cup cooked) and blend well, thinning out as necessary with water or breast milk.

7. Plum banana quinoa: 1 banana, 2 plums and cooked quinoa (1/2 C, cooked).

What you need:

4 Cups popped popcorn

1.2 Cup white chocolate

1/4 Cup Craisins

Pop popcorn and set aside. Over a double boiler, melt white chocolate. Immediately stir popcorn into the melted chocolate, coating evenly. Spread popcorn onto a piece of waxed paper and let cool thoroughly. Toss with Craisins in a bowl. If you will be eating the popcorn at a much later time, add Craisins at that time.
