Kale Applesauce for Baby
So, there's definitely a KALE craze going on right now. From chips to smoothies, people are loving nutrient-packed kale. I love when I can find tasty ways to squeeze "super-foods" into my baby's diet. The sweetness of the apples help make this recipe one that your baby will love! The applesauce is great by itself but I also mix it in with yogurt or cereal for an extra healthy meal.
Note: This was great for my 8 month old! The kale pieces do not fully puree, so there are some bits that may be more difficult for new eaters to handle.
What You'll Need:
Organic Kale
Organic Apples
Water or Organic Juice
Step 1: After washing the kale and apples, cut apples into chunks and steam for 8-10 minutes or until soft enough to pierce with a fork. I always use my double boiler to steam fruits/vegetables, but use any method that works for you!
Step 2: While apples are steaming, removed the leaf part of the kale from the stalk. Put your kale in the food processor.
Step 3: Add steamed apples and water or juice, process until smooth and of desired consistency.
I used this juice because it's healthy and we already had it in the fridge, but lots of combinations would work. Water works just fine, too!
Step 4: Serve or freeze for later.
Enjoy!!
