Perfect way to start the day

Refreshing, sweet'n'sour and creamy breakfast full of protein, calcium and vitamins? Look no further than our Tropic Cheese recipe for your 8-month-old. The combination of the sweet pineapple taste pairs perfectly with the slightly sour kiwis and creamy cottage cheese.

Instead of the pineapple, you can use mangos and kiwis can be substituted with oranges or tangerines. For the cheese in our recipe we chose cottage for its high protein content and creamy texture which is great in mashed foods and purees.

Nutritional stuff

Kiwis are an excellent source of vitamin C and also have good amounts of vitamin K and copper. They also contain significant amounts of dietary fiber.

Apart from also having a high vitamin C content (which is a great antioxidant by the way!), pineapple is full of manganese and copper. It's nutrients also provide great support for the digestive system and help the body fight against diseases.

Cottage cheese (like many other kinds of cheese) is a great protein and calcium source but also provides significant amounts of fat since at this point in age we encourage consumption of full fat products to support the rapid growth and development of our little ones.

Preparation

Since this recipe is intended for an 8-month old, it is suitable to be served as a mashed or pureed meal. In that case you would cut the fruit in pieces, mix with the cottage cheese and either mash or puree. If you prefer the baby-led weaning method, then the fruit should be cut in long pieces with preferably a bit harder or thicker cheese.
