Baby food: gut-moving recipe

Vitamin C from fruits and some vegetables plays an important role in fighting infections, such as coughs and colds. Offering your baby fruit twice daily can help meet their vitamin C needs. Fruit also can help the bowel get moving which is needed over the winter months as constipation can increase due to decreased activity.
Ingredients
½ cup peaches (if canned then drain and wash with a sieve to reduce juice content)
1 kiwifruit
1 tsp LSA (linseed, sunflower and almond mix)
200 g probiotic yoghurt
Puree texture:
Place cooked ingredients in the food processor or use a hand blender to blitz until smooth!
Lumpy texture:
Serve once cooked.
Finger food:
Blitz ingredients until smooth and then add 1 tablespoon of gelatine to the puree and let it set into a jelly in the fridge. Cut into long handheld pieces for baby to feed themselves or offer the puree alongside soft pieces of fruit/toast to dip into the puree.
