I love making meals for our sweet little Ella. So many of you gals in our HGG Community are mamas or mamas-to-be and I thought it would be fun to share a few of Ella’s favorite purees if you’re looking for new recipe for your little one!

Today’s recipe is purple sweet potato and cauliflower puree! Curios about how to start solids with your little one? Check our blog post for Guide & Schedule For Introducing Baby’s First Solids!

Sweet Potatoes are rich in fiber, antioxidants and phytonutrients. Sweet potatoes also have vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium and potassium.

Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable (like broccoli, cabbage and brussels sprouts) which contain nutrients known to help fight cancer! Cauliflower is rich in vitamin C, in fact 1 cup serving (of raw cauliflower) has 77% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin C! It also contain fiber, vitamin K and anti-oxidants.
