Jessica Alba’s DIY Baby Food Recipes

In celebration of Earth Week, Jessica Alba came to Access Hollywood Live to show us a DIY Organic Baby Food Recipe from her new book “The Honest Life.”

Ingredients:

1 pound of any fresh or frozen organic vegetable, peeled and roughly chopped (carrots, squash cauliflower, broccoli, or any blend thereof)

3-4 cups chicken stock

1 small clove garlic

1 tsp fresh ginger, diced

1 tsp sea salt

1 cup unsweetened apple sauce or 1-2 bananas (use as much or as little as you like to sweeten baby food)

1 tsp olive oil

1. Bring broth to boil, add vegetables garlic, ginger, and sea salt, and simmer until veggies soften–around 20 minutes, or longer if needed.

2. In a blender, puree veggies and stock together with the applesauce or banana and olive oil (work in batches if necessary).

3. Store in reusable glass jars or containers so you’ve got a week’s worth of meals ready to go! These also freeze well.
