9 Thermomix Baby Food Recipes Your Baby Will Love

Posted: April 21, 2023

As a parent, your child’s nutrition is always a priority. When your youngster is ready to start eating solids (from about six months onwards), It’s important to make meals that give them all the nutrients they need for healthy growth and development.

Choosing the right baby food, however, can be daunting for new parents – especially those of us not quite at home in the kitchen! The good news is you don’t have to be a kitchen superstar to be able to whip up tasty, nutritious baby food in a flash. Neither do you have to resort to ready-made baby food products, which can be expensive and difficult to find nutritious options in supermarkets.

In fact, all you really need is your Thermomix and some fresh fruit and veg. To get you started, here are nine of our favourite, simple yet nutritious Thermomix baby food recipes that your child will love sitting down to. Most of these purees can be stored in the fridge for a maximum of 2 days. All the recipes that involve breast milk can be substituted with other types of milk, including cow’s milk, soy milk or almond milk – depending on your baby’s tolerance for these.
