What's in it
Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.
Steps
- 01Mash 4 raspberries and a few slices of ripe banana together with a fork.
- 02Stir into 3 tbsp cooked amaranth porridge while it's still warm.
- 03Loosen with water or breast milk/formula if it stiffens up.
- 04Serve just warm on a pre-loaded spoon.
Why it works
Tiny amaranth grains cook into a naturally smooth, iron-rich porridge, raspberry's vitamin C helps that iron absorb, and banana rounds out the tartness — no sweetener needed.
Storage
Keeps 2 days covered in the fridge; amaranth sets when cold, so stir in a splash of water to reheat.
