Super Food for Babies

1/4 cup quinoa, rinsed

1 cup broccoli, cut in medium-sized pieces

1 cup zucchini, cut in chunks

A small handful of parsley

4 cups organic low-sodium chicken stock or water

1. In a medium-sized pan, mix all the ingredients together and slowly bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and cook partially covered 30-40 minutes.

2. Puree in a blender or food processor. For tiny babies, pass the mixture through a sieve to be sure it is extra smooth. For older babies, depending on their age and development, leave it chunkier, instead of blending.
