Rice Cereal & Flaxseed

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons iron-fortified rice cereal
• 1/2 cup warm water or breast milk/formula
• 1 teaspoon ground flaxseed

Method

1. 01

   Prepare iron-fortified rice cereal by mixing with warm water or breast milk/formula to a smooth consistency.

2. 02

   Use ground flaxseed (not whole seeds, which babies cannot digest) — grind seeds in a small blender or use pre-ground flaxseed meal.

3. 03

   Stir ground flaxseed into the prepared rice cereal.

4. 04

   Mix well to ensure flaxseed is evenly distributed and serve immediately.

How to offer

Serve immediately. Ground flaxseed boosts omega-3 content. Always use ground, not whole seeds for babies.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Not recommended for freezing.
