Fresh, vibrant, and beautifully simple, this spinach purée introduces baby to leafy greens with a gentle lift of lemon. It’s a wonderful way to build early familiarity with savory flavors while keeping preparation effortless in your Babycook.
Ingredients
-
2 cups fresh spinach leaves, washed and stems removed
-
A small squeeze of fresh lemon juice (just a few drops)
-
Optional: 1–2 tablespoons water or reserved cooking liquid for thinning
Instructions
1. Prep the spinach. Thoroughly wash and remove any tough stems. Roughly chop if leaves are large.
2. Add water to the reservoir. Fill the Babycook water reservoir to Level 2.
(Leafy greens cook down significantly but benefit from a slightly longer steam to soften fully.)
3. Steam! Place spinach into the steaming basket and run one full steam cycle.
4. Blending time. Transfer the cooked spinach to the blending bowl and add a few drops of fresh lemon juice.
5. Blend until completely smooth, adding small amounts of reserved cooking liquid as needed to achieve your desired consistency.
As always, check with your pediatrician before introducing new foods.
