You may have pureed your heart out when your baby was little, and now you have some cubes left in your freezer. Perhaps you have a toddler who is on a veggie boycott. We have a solution!
There are actually companies out there that market frozen puree cubes as nutritional supplements for your everyday foods, so why not use your baby food knowledge and make these yourself? Genius.
Use those leftover purees to add to plain yogurt, cereal, smoothies, or even muffin recipes. Apple or pear puree makes a great addition to zucchini bread recipes, for example. You could even try popping sweet potato puree into mac & cheese.
Right now, I'm trying to incorporate spinach puree cubes into our 19 month old's diet. I plan to pop the spinach into marinara sauce, pizza sauce, and even smoothies, as spinach is a superfood that is rarely enjoyed by our little foodie on its own. Yes, this is technically "hiding", and yes, I want her to eat sauteed spinach on its own someday. But for now, I just want to get it in her diet for the fabulous vitamins it provides.
