Berry, Date, and Chia Seed Purée

Chia seeds have so many health benefits: they're high in fiber, protein, omega-3 fatty acids, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus--among other nutrients. When mixed with a liquid, chia seeds plump up and take on a gelatinous texture, like a pudding, so don't worry if your puree gets a little thicker after it has been refrigerated. If you want a thinner puree, simply add a little more liquid and stir before serving. We recommend this recipe for babies 9+ months old.

Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cups raspberries blueberries, blackberries or a combination.
• 1 Medjool Date, pitted and diced
• 1 teaspoon of chia seeds

Directions

1. Place all ingredients into the One Step Food Maker and press "Steam + Blend" for 10 minutes.
2. Let cool and thicken in the refrigerator overnight.

This puree makes a filling afternoon snack for a toddler and adult too. It's texture is like pudding.This puree is also a great faux jam; just serve on your morning toast as a delicious spread!
