Vegetable purée with bone broth — nutritious baby food or side dish

A classic, but better

Making a vegetable purée is simple: steam the vegetables, blend, and serve. But there’s one small difference that turns an ordinary purée into a truly nourishing meal: the broth you finish it with.

Puréeing the steamed vegetables with HANT bone broth and a spoonful of marrow fat gives you more than a creamier texture — it also adds collagen, minerals, and fat-soluble vitamins that your vegetables need to absorb their nutrients fully. One simple step, a big difference.

Why HANT bone broth?

Our bone broth is slow-simmered for 32 hours from halal beef bones with no additives. This gives it a naturally mild flavor, making it perfect for baby food from 6 months onward. The collagen and amino acids support digestion and growth — exactly what a growing child needs.

The marrow fat (tallow) provides the healthy fats needed to absorb fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) from vegetables. Prefer olive oil? Our extra virgin olive oil works just as well.

Ingredients (2 baby portions or 1 side dish)

  • 1 carrot
  • ½ small sweet potato
  • ½ zucchini
  • 1 tbsp red or green lentils (optional, for extra protein)
  • 1–2 tbsp HANT bone broth for babies (2–3 tbsp for adults)
  • 1 tsp HANT marrow fat or 1 tbsp HANT olive oil

Preparation

  1. Steam the carrot, sweet potato, zucchini, and lentils until completely soft (about 12–15 minutes).
  2. Warm the bone broth gently in a saucepan or microwave.
  3. Add the warm broth together with the marrow fat or olive oil to the vegetables.
  4. Purée everything until smooth. Too thick? Add a splash of extra broth.

Variations

  • Green — broccoli, zucchini, peas, and spinach
  • Orange — carrot, pumpkin, sweet potato, and parsnip
  • With meat — add a spoonful of cooked, finely chopped chicken or ground beef for extra protein

Storage

In the refrigerator, the purée keeps for 2 days in a sealed container. For longer storage: freeze in portions using an ice cube tray — then you’ll always have a quick snack ready.
