Sweet Potato Apple Mash

This yummy sweet potato apple mash is guaranteed to become one of baby’s favourite first foods. The combination of creamy sweet potato with the hint of earthy pumpkin pie spice makes for a delicate-tasting, nutrient dense puree to offer baby from 6+ months.

The addition of raw, grated apple adds a burst of freshness to the rich flavour of this mash and cuts through the richness of the sweet potatoes. Since this recipe boasts traditional fall flavours, it would be the perfect accompaniment to baby’s Thanksgiving meal.

This mash is not only good for baby’s tastebuds, it’s also good for you since it’s loaded with nutrients and vitamins. Sweet potatoes are a great course of fiber, B6, potassium, and have a low glycemic index, and apples are packed with fiber and vitamin C.

In the meantime, peel the apple, halve, and remove the seeds. Grate directly onto the sweet potato. Mix the sweet potato, apple and pumpkin pie spice until combined.
