Wash the spinach. No need to wash frozen spinach. If you're making your puree with fresh spinach, remove stems and soak in cold water for two minutes. Rinse thoroughly under cool running water and pat dry with paper towels.

Cook the spinach. Steam spinach until tender (about 5 min). Drain, rinse with cool water for three minutes to stop the cooking process.

Purée the spinach. Purée in a food processor or blender until smooth. Add water as needed to reach desired consistency, use breast milk or formula in place of water for a creamier texture.

Serve spinach puree.

Spinach is an ideal mix in with other vegetables, grains and protein. Try mixing spinach puree with carrots, sweet potatoes, Russet potatoes, chicken, salmon, whole-wheat pasta, brown rice and cheese sauce.
