Blueberry Quinoa for the Baby

One new rule of mine is to try to prepare and consume food without unpronouncable ingredients. This rule is thrown out the window once in a while.

Like when we eat out.

Or when I use quinoa.

Quinoa is a nutritious super food- a grain that is also considered a protein, and contains 9 essential amino acids. It is non-allergenic and you cook it just like rice. Because it hadn't been passed from the Incas to the Americans yet was a child, (or so I assume...) I've never before heard of the likes of it.

Recipe for Blueberry Quinoa

• 2 apples
• 1 banana
• Blueberries (as many as you would like!)
• 1/4 cup cooked quinoa

Steam together apples, banana, and blueberries. Add cooked quinoa and blend into smooth puree.

Blueberries. Apples. Bananas. And Quinoa.

I also made a more simple recipe while the quinoa was cooking~

Sweet Pea Spinach

• Sweet Peas
• Spinach
• Steam. Blend. Done.

There. If my kids do not grow up into adults who like a variety of healthy food, it's not my fault.

Produce inserted in picture for visual interest only. There's just spinach and peas in the jars. That's it.
