Health Mix Recipe for Babies (From 10 Months to 5 Years)

By Yamini - Updated: December 1, 2018

Hi friends! Today, I am going to share a health mix recipe which is high in nutrition and good for babies from ten months onwards. This health mix recipe can be made into porridge for your little one and will keep him satiated for longer. It has all the cereals, nuts and spices which are good for baby’s bones, growth and development. Since it is a porridge, it is easily digestible for the baby. This health mix is packed with carbohydrates and proteins which are vital for the growing baby. This healthy mix porridge helps underweight babies gain weight substantially. I usually feed this to my baby first thing in the morning. What’s great is that this porridge can be eaten by adults and is good for breastfeeding mothers too.

Sieve the mix finely to remove hard particles.
Store the finely grounded mix in an airtight container. A steel container is preferred rather than a plastic one.

The above dry health mix can be stored up to 2 months.

Preparation of porridge

1. Take two spoons of the finely grounded health mix you prepared. Add sufficient water and boil on low flame till the mixture thickens.

2. The consistency of the porridge can be adjusted as per your baby’s liking and age – from runny to thick.

That’s it! If you want to bring variation in the mix, flavour it by adding steamed apple pieces and blending it with the porridge.
