Mango Eggs 2 Ways | Gluten Dairy Free Baby Breakfast
This is one my favourite recipes for baby Olive, it’s got all the essential nutrients growing babies need and she inhales it!
You can make it 2 different ways so depending on whether you’re doing baby led weaning, purees or a combo of both (like me) you’ll be able to get these beautiful nutrients into your bub.
It doesn’t hold together like the baby banana pancake it’s really mushy. I sometimes like to add a sprinkle of hemp seeds in there for the extra mineral and omega boost!
What’s great about it:
Egg Yolk: the yolks are a powerhouse of nutrients including choline which is essential for babies healthy brain development. They’re also a great source of absorbable iron, b vitamins, vitamin A and D!
Mango: Rich in vitamin C which helps with the uptake and absorption of iron, a great source of fibre to keep the digestive system running smoothly and one of the best foods for constipation. Also high in antioxidants, and a source of magnesium and potassium.
Ghee (optional): Ghee is like clarified butter but it’s a lactose and casein free form of dairy so easy on digestion, it’s anti-inflammatory, a source of MCT’s for brain health and energy. It’s also great source of Vitamin A and D which are essential for babies immune function.
or
Coconut Oil: A completely dairy free option, rich in essential fatty acids and minerals and great for digestion.
These recipes are suitable for babies 6-7months+ after egg yolk has been successfully introduced on it’s own. You could use the whole egg after 9months (or whenever you feel comfortable introducing the whites.)
