While everyone is talking about Bento, I should start sharing on a baby’s meal. I’m a new mother and still learning and experimenting on what is best for a baby’s diet. Jonathan boy is my experiment. Glad to say that he will wallop all kinds of food except Avocado so far.
I’ve also shared in my previous post on how I prepare the porridge. Just dump everything in the ceramic pot.
So let’s see what is on Jonathan’s dinning table today.
Grated beetroot and florets of broccoli
Beets or beetroots contain a wonderful amount of calcium, potassium and even vitamin A. Whereas, broccoli is very high in Vitamin C and is a great source of soluble fiber.
The colour looks so nice and yummy 🙂 Did you put in any meat at all? What do you used for seasoning?
emmm, i have not tried yet to use beetroot…will try it next time! i’ve added in brocolli in my babay’s porridge, either mixed with fish meat or spinach/pumpkin 🙂
Not a bad start to groom a vegetarian. Ngek, ngek, ngek
Julie, the porridge look so yummy. I also like Sarah to try beetroot but i cant get it over here.
Anyway, good job Julie.
Hmm… haven’t let Ryan tries the beetroot yet. Will try to look for it one day! 😛
yummy. does it turn out sweet?
i didnt try beetroot before.
Oh, it looks yummy..
i never try this for my Eli, hehe..will try one day.
Caroline – You can add meat/fish as you like. I don’t add any seasoning to Jonathan’s porridge. Try to train him to eat it plain.
June – Beetroot can be cooked with any combination too. Give it a try.
Joanne – I normally buy beets from supermarket. Hardly can see it it wetmarket.
Ryan’s mami – Try on Ryan. Wonder if he likes it since he’s kinda choosy on food, right?
Littlelamb – It’s not as sweet as sweet potato but it does add some taste to the porridge. When you eat it raw, it’s just like chinese turnip.
HuiSia – Hope Eli likes it too despite the colour.
Mmm…I will give it a try. 🙂
always wanted to let Zen try beetroot but wasn’t sure.. now I think I will 🙂 thx for the recipe
Wow! Looks yummmy~
Thanks for idea of using beetroot in the porridge! I really run out of idea in preparing porridge for Sethy:P
Yalor…I even dont know what is beetroot until you and Caroline posted about it.
I’ve never tried beetroot before. It gives the porridge such a nice color but how’s the taste?
hmm… looks yummy. but, my all-time favourite is grated carrot with rice and chicken meat for taste. slurp!
hi, I popped by from Chanel’s blog. My kids love beetroot soup. They’re indeed yummy and full of nutrition.

Salute u le..
