Ingredients
1½
ounces
Apple Puree
1½
ounces
plain whole milk yogurt
(regular or Greek)
½
ground flaxseeds
(or hemp seeds)
Instructions
Add the ingredients to a small bowl. Stir to combine well.
Add to the pouch, avoiding overfilling. If using a zip bottom style of pouch, be sure the cap is on to prevent the puree from coming out.
Serve or store for up to 5 days. (If storing leftovers in a pouch, store in the fridge and serve within 24 hours.)

Notes
If using a pouch with a zipper bottom, like this one from
Wee Sprout
, avoid overfilling to prevent difficulty sealing the pouch.
Pouch flavor ideas:
Be sure the mixture is totally smooth to avoid it becoming stuck in the opening of the pouch.
Add 1/2 teaspoon hemp seeds or 2 tablespoons full fat coconut cream or plain yogurt to any mixture for extra healthy fats.
Try any other
Baby Food Combination
or my
No-Cook Baby Foods
in a pouch.
Serve foods you'd usually serve warm (like soups) just warm, not hot. Test on your wrist to be sure the temperature is not hot.
Omit any added salt or sweeteners as needed.
Combine pouches with
baby led weaning foods
for a wide range of texture exposure.
Store leftover pouches in the fridge for up to 24 hours and serve again.
