Rice with zuchinni

Rice will always be a quick and easy option to make, not only for your little one but also for the whole family.

This cereal has great nutritional value and is easy to combine with any other food. For example, chicken, tuna, carrots, peas, beans and so on. Today we will combine it with zucchini which is a vegetable that does not require much cooking.

Ingredients

1 cup of Rice
½ cup of Quinoa
1 cup of zucchini graded
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Salt
3 cups of water

Directions

In a pot (in this case, I used a rice cooker) put the two tablespoons of olive oil to heat. Then add the quinoa and toast it for 2 minutes, it is important to stir it frequently so it doesn't burn.

Add the rice and salt, continue stirring and add the previously grated zucchini. Finally, add the water and let it cook for about 20 minutes, if it is in a normal pot but if you do it in a rice cooker once the button indicates that it is ready.

⌚Time of preparation: 25 min approx.

Make meals memorable

Mealtime for your child should be a pleasant time that he really enjoys. Therefore, it is important to include different flavours and textures in the snacks so that your child does not get used to only one type of food. This way, he will discover new flavours.

In addition, this will help you identify what he likes the most and will make your work in the kitchen easier!

Remember to include:

Vegetables
Fruits
Nuts (if your child is not allergic, e.g. to nuts or peanuts)
Whole grain (Quinoa, Oatmeal, corn, Popcorn)
Protein (Yogurt, milk, peanut butter, cheese, egg)

And to drink…..

💧Water will always be the best beverage for children, they do not need added sugars or processed beverages.

🥛Milk is also a good option either hot or cold, it depends on the weather and how your child likes to drink it.

On this occasion, this was Alice's snack

💧Water
🥛Yoghurt (If it is a sunny day, we recommend using ice packs to keep the beverage cool)
🥕Carrots
🥜Peanuts Butter
🍉Watermelon

The potato is a food to which many myths are attributed, for instance, that being a carbohydrate it influences us to gain weight. However, we ignore that there are many more benefits that this product can bring to our health from our first years of life.

However, to maintain its nutritional properties it is important to highlight two points. First, do not consume it in large quantities, the portion you serve to your child should be according to his age. Second, potatoes are best prepared steamed or baked and avoid cooking them in oil or use little vegetable oil.

Here we sharing an easy and quick recipe to prepare

This pure can be made as lunch or for your little one's dinner.

You only need:

5 potatoes
Broccoli
Butter
Milk (what your child normally drinks)
Cheese (the one you have at home and the one your child has tried before)

In a steamer put the water to heat, meanwhile peel the potatoes and cut them into small squares so that they are faster. Once the water is boiling put the potatoes to cook for approximately 15 minutes. There you can also include the broccoli to cook during the last minutes of the potato cooking time.
