This is so easy and so delicious! This is basically a pea and mint soup without using a stock that would otherwise be full of salt. Peas are naturally sweet and especially full of Vitamin K. Feel free to use any frozen peas or Petis Pois but, please do not be tempted to use tinned peas or mushy peas as they will be accompanied by extra salt, sugar and colouring!

A good source of

• Vitamin K
• Manganese
• Vitamin B1
• Vitamin C

Ingredients

• 3 x cups of peas
• 20g x Unsalted Butter
• fresh mint or dried mint
• Breastmilk or formula

• 1 x Ice Cube Tray or Happy Mummy Baby Cubes Food Portioners (Stage 2)

1) Empty the peas into the saucepan and just cover with boiling water from a kettle.

2) Bring the peas to the boil and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.

3) Drain the peas and add to you blender of choice along with the butter and mint.

4) Blend thoroughly while adding enough breastmilk or formula to bring it to a consistency you are happy with.

5) Fill up you ice cube tray or portioner evenly with the puree and, when cooled completely, place in the freezer.

6) Once frozen you can empty you portions into a freezer bag so you can use the portioners again!

To reheat just warm a portion in a saucepan over a gentle heat or in the microwave. Test the temperature on your top lip.

If you do use a microwave to heat food always remember to stir thoroughly to remove hotspots!
