Most
mornings I give Rián porridge with some kind of fruit mixed into it.
I cook his
porridge in a bit of water for 5-6 min, then blend in fruit. I buy a big bag of
organic porridge for the family and for Rián I put some in the blender to grind
it down to “baby porridge”. It’s very easy to do. It takes 2 minutes and cost a
lot less than buying baby porridge.
For example
a small pack of Organic baby porridge can cost around €3 for 250g. However a
large bag of Organic porridge oats is under €2 for 1kg in Aldi. Crazy a bit no?
Mango baby porridge
Ingredients:
1-2 slice
of fresh mango diced (depending on the size)
half an
apple
2 tbsp of
baby porridge cooked in water, nice and thick
Method:
Put all
ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth or use a hand blender and blend
it in a deep mug for mess free option. If your baby is already okay with little
bits of food, you can just grate the apple instead of blending and add at the
end.
Note: If it’s
too runny at first you might need to cook a bit more porridge. Some mangos are
very juicy. On the upside you’ll have breakfast for baby already cooked for the
next day.
And now
comes the grown up version ;)
Mango smootie for the sleep deprived mammies
Ingredients:
half an
apple (the other half of the same apple)
the rest of
the mango diced
1 pot of
natural yoghurt
1 tbsp of
coconut flakes
1 tbsp of
porridge
2-3 ice
cubes
Optional:
half a passion fruit spooned in
Method:
Blend until
smooth, serve and enjoy. Makes 2 nice portions.
It is
delicious and healthy. If you get yourself a travel smootie cup it is also a
handy breakfast on the go or for the walk with buggy. I often make it if I know
I’ll have a friend coming over. In that case I’ll prep the blender with all the
ingredients, put it in the fridge and blend fresh before serving.
Sounds delicious! I really want to try rians option though sounds lovely, mango porridge! Yum
