This cheesy veggie pasta is made creamy (& had the nutrient profile boosted) by the addition of protein rich hemp seeds and made cheesy by the nutritional yeast (also fortified with b12!). Plus it’s made smooth and thick by the butternut squash. Whole foods make the best sauce right!?🤤

Benefits of hemp seeds for babies
Hemp seeds are a superfood that are loaded with nutrients and can be a great addition to your baby’s diet. They are an excellent source of protein, containing all nine essential amino acids that the body needs for growth and repair.

Hemp seeds are also a good source of healthy fats, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are important for brain development and immune function. They also contain high levels of antioxidants, which can help protect your baby’s cells from damage caused by free radicals.

In addition, hemp seeds are rich in minerals like magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium, which are important for strong bones and overall growth. They also contain fibre, which is essential for healthy digestion and can help prevent constipation.

Hemp seeds can be easily incorporated into your baby’s diet by adding them to sauces, smoothies, oatmeal, yogurt, or even pureed fruits and vegetables. They have a mild, nutty flavour that pairs well with many different foods.

Make sure to always consult with a paediatrician before introducing new foods to your baby’s diet, and start with a small amount to monitor for any potential allergic reactions.
