2. 02

3. 03

   Refrigerate the mixture for 10 minutes to allow chia seeds to absorb moisture and firm up.

5. 05

   Refrigerate balls for a further 20 minutes to firm up, then serve.

How to offer

Place 2–3 bites on the high chair tray. Always supervise during feeding. These no-cook bites are very soft and safe for 6-month-olds. Test the texture — they should squish easily. Great starter food for BLW.

Storage

Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Not recommended for freezing.
