Sweet Potato and Apple Mash

Sweet potato is rich in beta-carotene and fibre. Apple provides gentle sweetness without added sugar. Together they make a naturally appealing first food.

Ingredients:

• 1 medium Sweet potato: Peeled and cubed

• 1 small Apple: Peeled and cubed

• As needed Water: For steaming

Recipe:

1. Steam sweet potato and apple together for 12–15 minutes until both are completely tender.

2. Cool slightly, then blend or mash together until smooth.

3. Add cooking water to adjust consistency.

💡 Tip: The natural sweetness of this combination often makes it an early favourite. Use it to introduce less popular vegetables by mixing them in gradually.
