1 ½cups of fresh plain coconut water
1 or 2 tablespoons of honey or real maple syrup (optional)

Recipe Note

Coconut water can be used as a healthy alternative to fruit juice or sugary drinks, and is a rich source of potassium and vitamin C. Blueberries are considered a ‘super food’ and contain plenty of fibre, vitamin A and vitamin C.

Honey is not recommended for infants under 1 year of age as it contains a bacteria which can cause Infant Botulism. But as a natural sweetener it is perfect to give to older kids.

Babies are recommended to start on solids around 6 months and not before 4 months. Make sure your baby is showing signs they are ready for solids and that you introduce one food at a time initially.
