Yummy Baby Mango, Mint, and Quinoa


Quinoa is a wonderful addition to anyone's pantry.   It is a great alternative to couscous or rice, with its high fiber and protein content.  Plus it is filling and delicious.   I've added these tiny little seeds (which many think is a grain) to fresh pureed mango and mint.  The result is a yummy and very nutritious little sweet snack or dessert for your baby.  Also try adding a dollop of plain greek yoghurt for an extra special treat!

Makes: approximately 9 servings, 50ml each

Ingredients

1 large mango, peeled and chopped
1 tsp fresh mint, chopped
1/2 lemon
1/4 cup cooked quinoa

Directions

1.  Blend chopped mango and mint in a food processor or with a blender until you reach a desired consistency.
2.  Stir in juice from half a lemon and quinoa.
3.  Serve to your little one and freeze the remainder in storage pots.
