Potato, Peas, Broccoli and Carrot Baby Food Puree

This is another really easy baby food puree for the early weaning process. Even if you are following the Baby Led Weaning approach, purees can still be introduced with a spoon or with finger foods such as toast fingers, bagel bites or rice crackers. 

This particular puree is one I've made when I've been making a roast dinner for the rest of the family - we omit from using salt so that all of the vegetables are edible for the whole family.

Potato Peas Broccoli and Carrot Baby Food Puree


Here's how:


  • 1 potato
  • 2 tbsp peas
  • 2 florets broccoli
  • 1 carrot
  • 4 tbsp cold water


If you're preparing a roast dinner then simply extract the cooked version of all of the above once ready, place into a blender or a Nutribullet with the cold water and blend. Please note to remove the potato once it has been par-boiled, as this will be fine for baby and you don't want to give her a roasted potato if cooked in meat juices or fats just yet. 

If you're simply preparing the above for baby, and not a family dinner follow the below:

Peel and dice one potato and place into a pan of boiled water on a medium heat, bring to the boil and simmer for ten minutes.

In the meantime, peel and dice a carrot, chop broccoli into the florets and add to the potato pan once the simmering has begun. 

Add the peas for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking time. 

Drain and allow to cool for five minutes then place into a blender or Nutribullet with the cold water and blitz.

Portion up accordingly.
