GREENS! This color is so important as so many of the foods for babies are yellow and orange. By the time I see my little patients at 9 months some may look pretty yellow because of their diet which is not necessarily harmful, but if you don't want a orange baby it definitely helps to feed more green vegetables. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Here are more amazing benefits to green beans, pureed for the early eaters and tiny soft pieces for the older eaters! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌱Lots of fiber! (good for heart, good for gut health). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌱 Good source of iron (avoid anemia!). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌱 Lots of vitamins (A, B vitamins, C, K) and minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, potassium, zinc). Use fresh or frozen green beans to reduce sodium--some kinds of canned green beans have extra sodium. ***remember to offer either puree or appropriately sized pieces (avoid choking hazard sizes)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
