*Yes, chili powder. Sounds crazy but babies are open to all sorts of flavors. Exposing them to a variety of spices and flavors at a young age makes new foods less scary and more likely to be eaten later on.
Variations:
- -Mix in chili powder and/or a tiny pinch of salt
- -Mix in cooked quinoa or couscous for added texture
- -Mix in full-fat Greek yogurt or ricotta cheese for added protein
- -Mix in all of the above
