Quinoa Banana Mash-up

Once you move beyond vegetables and fruit purees and into chunkier textures, your baby will show great curiosity in what you serve up. Try this recipe as an alternative to regular banana puree.

Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wa) isn't commonly thought of as a "baby food", but it's a fabulous one. Quinoa has the most protein of any grain and has a soft, nutty texture and flavor. Most babies love bananas already, so this is a no brainer. This also keeps well in the refrigerator.

1/2 Banana
Pinch Cinnamon
3 Tbsp Cooked Quinoa
1 Tbsp Whole Milk Yogurt (for 9 months +)

Directions:

1. Place all the banana in a bowl and mash with a fork.
