M loves to feed herself the little bits of food that I put on her tray. I would love to give her some new options to eat and am struggling with proteins. I'm good on veggies and carbs and fruits but after chicken and stew meat, I'm pretty lost for protein. What protein options do you offer your lo? How do you cook them?
-
Beans -- I made a bunch of pinto beans in the pressure cooker this weekend and he loved them - I cut in 1/2 for him or just smush them a little.
Also how about Greek Yogurt?
-
Beans and cheese mostly. She inhales both.
-
not sure of what age your LO is but scrambled eggs? tofu? DS loves black beans, too.
-
G loves black beans. i put them in his scrambled eggs or just put them on his tray.

We use ground chicken, turkey, pork, beef and I use some Ms. Dash salt free seasoning then I shape into "fingers" and brown in the frying pan until just cooked through. We do eggs on the weekends. It looks like I need to try beans, I tried once and they were hard for them but I am open to trying again. Greek Yogurt (I buy a big one of plain/sugar free/whole fat) and I mix in berries and soft vegetables (think spinach) for the babies and they love that.

I made turkey meatloaf this weekend and my 9 month old loved it. He also will eat cottage cheese, soft cooked beans, yogurt. Next on my list to try with him is tofu and egg yolk

Eggs are usually our go to protein with our picky eater.
-
We did bacon, sausage, and beef very early on.
-
Also, my nutritionist said that string cheese was a good protein.

Lo loves eggs! They're a staple in our house. She gets 1-2 a day. She likes beans too, but I don't give them to her often.
-
Beans - any. Smashed if needed. Cheese, any, especially little bits of soft cheese. Tofu, if you're into that.
-
I agree with beans, eggs and cheese!
-
I also agree with eggs. LO loves them, but they make her puke... Womp womp
