Mix one prepared veggie Qubie (use your imagination: pumpkin or sweet potator or broccoli etc) with equal quantities of ricotta.
Serve to baby warm – yum!

1 cup Quinoa
1 golden kumara or sweet potato
Boil Quinoa in 2 cups of water until the husks come off in little spirals.
Peel kumara/sweet potato and steam until soft and mushy. Mix together.
I suggest adding a tiny bit of rice bran oil or olive oil as this makes the naturally occurring vitamin D & A much more available.

12 Prunes
Water
1 Qubie
Pop the prunes into a saucepan with barely enough water to cover them and to ensure they don’t stick to the pan. Bring to the boil and simmer until nice and soft (approx 10 mins).
Strain off juice and set aside.
Puree Prunes and pop into your Qubies.
1 portion prunes is great to add to apples or pears or even to their cereal and will help keen little one ‘regular’.
Cool strained juice and give to baby to drink especially if a little constipated.
Thanks Nicole B!
