Make your own baby food in a blender

If we are honest, we know very well that baby food is not rocket science. The ingredients are simple, the combinations are easy and the preparation is quick. A wonderful tool for this is the high-performance blender from bianco di puro. In a matter of seconds, it transforms solid foods into a creamy consistency. In addition, the matching masher for your bianco di puro blender can display the temperature and thus help to temper the vegan baby food correctly. Perfect for making the baby's favorite creations just right and for tailoring them to the child individually.
Make your own first vegan baby food Whether it's puree or finger food, the baby should be introduced to the world of food slowly and step by step. On the one hand, so as not to overwhelm the sensitive tummy and, on the other hand, so that in the event of allergic reactions, you can react quickly or better understand them. If you decide to use puree for the first solid food, then start with just one ingredient. Sweet potatoes are a wonderful choice, for example. To do this, steam the sweet potatoes over low heat and then mix them in a blender to make a creamy puree. Other foods that are great for starting out:

• pumpkin
• potatoes
• Carrots
• zucchini
• parsnip
• avocado
• Apple
• banana

Foods that contain fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) should be mixed with half a teaspoon of oil or nut butter. Rapeseed, linseed or olive oil and almond butter are suitable here. The almond butter is also very easy to make yourself in the bianco di puro high-performance blender.

Vegan baby food from 9 months

After the second month of complementary feeding, i.e. from the 9th month at the earliest, different types of grain can be introduced. It is important to choose the first varieties without gluten. Rice or millet flakes are ideal. Gluten-free oat flakes are also an ideal choice because they are rich in iron and easy to digest. We recommend mixing oat flakes with a source of vitamin C to increase iron absorption. In general, there are nutrients that are very important for vegan complementary feeding:

• iron
• zinc
• iodine
• calcium
• Vitamin D
• Omega-3 fatty acids
• Vitamins B2 and B12

If the baby continues to tolerate the supplementary food well, you can gradually
Legumes, seeds and kernels can be stored.

In the end, it is about listening to your intuition and that of the child.
If you have any uncertainties or questions about your child's vegan diet, inform your pediatrician and discuss basic points such as nutrients.
