Ingredients
- 1 banana, peeled, cut into thirds and frozen
- 2 broccoli florets (about 40g/ 1 1/2 oz)
- 1 tablespoon rolled oats
- 1 1/2-2 tablespoons whole milk or milk of choice, plus extra if needed
- 1 ripe baby avocado, halved, stoned and flesh scooped out
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Lightly toasted bread, buttered and cut into fingers, to serve
Method
- Take the banana out of the freezer to soften slightly while you prepare the rest of the ingredients
- Meanwhile, steam the broccoli in a saucepan over a medium heat for 8 minutes or until the florets are tender (you can cook them in a microwave or an airfryer) Place under cold running water until cold.
- Place the oats in a food processor or blender and blitz to a powder, then pour in the milk
- Add the softened banana, avocado, cinnamon and cooked broccoli
- Blend until smooth and creamy, adding a splash more milk if needed-it should have the consistency of a very thick milkshake
- Spoon the mixture into bowls and serve with fingers of lightly toasted bread for dunking
top tip!
Stir in 1 teaspoon smooth peanut butter (if your little one has already tried peanuts and had no reaction) and 1 teaspoon mixed ground seeds with the avocado and the rest of the ingredients
top tip!
For little ones over 1 year, scatter your choice of finely chopped nuts and seeds over the top for a bit of crunch
