Time-saving toddler suppers for busy moms
Sometimes the day runs away with you, and before you know it, it is time to put supper on the table for your little one. These easy supper recipes will help you quickly prep and serve a meal that is full of natural goodness – and delicious too!
BUTTERNUT AND CARROT MASHED POTATO
Get supper sorted in a flash with this tasty supper – if you have leftover mash in the fridge, it can be on the table in minutes! You can serve this on its own, or add a bit of tuna, cooked chicken or mince for some extra protein and flavour. Squish 100% Fruit and Veg Purees are a smart choice for your growing child – they are made with quality fresh fruit and vegetables and are free of nasties like colourants, flavourants and preservatives, and have no added sugar or starch.

- 1 x 110 ml Squish 100% Butternut + Carrot Puree
- Optional: Steamed tenderstem broccoli for dipping
Method
- Heat mash in the microwave and stir through Squish Puree.

TIP: Always double-check the heat of food you have warmed in the microwave and stir before serving.
CHEESY MIXED VEGETABLE EGG SCRAMBLE
When you’re rushed for time, eggs are always a good option. They’re so versatile and are full of protein. This cheesy scramble is a good way to use up half-full Squish 100% Fruit and Veg Purees you might have in the fridge. Squish pouches come with convenient resealable lids, so you never need to waste a drop.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 50 ml (½ pouch) Squish 100% Mixed Vegetable Puree (or any flavour you please)
- 45 ml (3 Tbsp) cheddar cheese, grated
Method
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk. Add Squish Puree and mix well. Melt a blob of butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the egg and puree mix and cook, stirring, until just cooked. Stir in the cheese. Serve warm with buttered toast.
TIP: Use a cookie cutter to create fun-shaped toast.
CHICKEN AND VEG RICE
The convenience of Squish 100% Fruit and Veg Puree means you can always serve your child a nutritious meal, no matter how little time you have. This tasty one-bowl supper is super-easy to make – we used Squish 100% Mixed Veg, but you can switch up the taste by using any Squish flavour, including Pear + Sweet Potato Puree, Butternut + Carrot Puree, or Apple, Sweet Potato + Sweetcorn.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 chicken breast, steamed and shredded

TIP: It’s always a good idea to have a couple of ready-cooked chicken breasts in your fridge to add to leftover rice, mash, or pasta or to stir through a pouch of Squish 100% Veg Puree.
