Glazed Brussels Sprouts & Jasmine Rice Recipe: Babies 10 months +

Leave a comment March 17, 2015 DrD4Health

Welcome back to Yummy Yummy Baby!

As promised, here is another recipe that’s Yummy, Easy and Baby-friendly. Great thing is, this recipe is also toddler-approved and something the entire family will enjoy!

I didn’t grow up eating Brussel Sprouts, in fact, I had never seen Brussel Sprouts anytime in my youth.

Our family sure did miss out… Brussel Sprouts are so yummy and packed with Vitamins A, C and K.

Brussel Sprouts are also found to offer Cancer protection because of the Sprouts having a large amount of Glucosinolates.

Next time you want your family to have some cruciferous veggies, give these little Green Gems a try!

Glazed Brussel Sprouts & Jasmine Rice:

🌱 Ingredients: 🌱
🌱 4 Cups Organic Brussel Sprouts (Serves 4).
🌱 1 Tablespoons Avocado Oil (oil of choice).
🌱 1-2 Tablespoons Coconut Nectar (or any sweet glaze, like agave).
🌱 1 pinch Sea Salt.
🌱 1 Tablespoon Coconut Aminos (Soy Sauce).

🌱👶 Babies 10 months +

🌱 Cook Jasmine Rice according to package.

🌱 Slice & Steam Brussel Sprouts for 5-8 minutes on low to medium heat.

🌱 While steaming Sprouts, add Avocado oil & Coconut Nectar, Sea Salt, Coconut Aminos to a frying pan.

🌱 Sautee & Glaze Sprouts for 5 minutes, then transfer the babies portion of Rice & Brussel Sprouts to Food Processor and blend for 35 seconds.

🍀 Taste and add anything you want.

🍀 Remember babies taste buds are different, what is bland to us is yummy for babies.

🍀 I would only give one small Brussel Sprout to test for allergies and to ensure baby doesn’t have painful gas reaction to sulfur content.

🍀 Make sure to ALWAYS pre-test for allergies for EVERY new food given to a baby or child.

🍀 For older kids and adults, add minced Garlic, Onion, Pepper to the Sautee Pan… Your family is going to love these Yummy Green Gems!

Stay tuned for next week’s Green Sperfood Recipe for babies 6 months +.

Sending you thoughts of everlasting health and wellness! Xoxo

This first one derived from me looking for another Yummy way to sneak in those essential greens…

The idea came to me while staying at the Wynn Hotel in Vegas! The hotel had this huge, beautiful and shiny statue of Popeye that our toddler became totally fascinated with.

Your little ones will be sure to be strong to the finish while eating up this Yummy dish! 😉

Popeye Mashed Potatoes! 🌱🌱🌱

🌿 Add Greens to Food Processor.

Yummy Strawberry-Coconut Yogurt!

Hey there amigos and welcome back!

I’ve shared a Yogurt Recipe before, but not one like this… This Strawberry Sauce took this Yummy Coconut Yogurt to a whole new level! Mmm mmm!

Prep time: 10 mins Cook time: 24 hours Makes: 1 quart Ingredients:

Strawberry Sauce:

🍓1 Basket of Organic Strawberries
🍓1 Organic Lemon Juiced & Strained
🍓8 Organic Raspberries (Optional)
🍓High-speed Blender

Blend all three ingredients together and voila… Yummy Yummy Strawberry Sauce!

Coconut Yogurt Recipe:

🌱11 ounces of Homemade Coconut Milk or 2 cans full-fat Organic Coconut Milk.

🌱2 Vegan Probiotic Capsules.

Instructions:

🌱Blend coconut milk with contents of Vegan Probiotic capsules.

🌱Transfer to a 1 quart glass jar with a tight-fitting lid.

🌱Store somewhere warm, like an oven or a window sill.

🌱After 24-48 hours, it should smell like yogurt. It may be runny, more like kefir than yogurt. If you prefer, leave it out longer.

🌱After 48-72 hours, it should be thick and have a more tangy flavor.
*Store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

🌱Use an oven light to help create more warmth.

🍓If you want a sweeter yogurt, swirl in this Awesome Strawberry Sauce and Bammm! You are in Yummy Food Heaven!

🍓Please remember to use Vegan Probiotics, also remember some thicken better than others. Please experiment.

🍓The homemade coconut milk doesn’t work as well as Canned Coconut milk, but it is healthier and BPA Free.

The more you make this, the better you will get at it! Best of all, you and the kids will get your healthy Probiotics without having to eat all those additives and preservatives from store bought yogurt.

Have fun making this Yummy Yummy treat! Xoxo
