Making your own fresh, unprocessed baby food is as easy as 'setting it and forgetting it' when you enlist your multi-cooker or slow cooker.

In Smoothie-licious, Parents magazine editor Jenna Helwig shows how to make 75 smoothies and whole-fruit juices that are both healthy and delicious. Kids will love the bright colours and playful names like Peanut Berry Blast and Mexican Frozen Hot Chocolate; parents will love that they feature nutrient- dense seeds and use no refined sugars.

The 100% Wholesome Baby Food Cookbook gives parents everything they need to cook for babies and toddlers from 6 months to 3 years in a way that makes the process easy, fast, and flexible, starting with simple purees and moving on to finger foods and toddler meals.

What if you could skip the tiny jars and pouches of bland baby food in favour of a more natural, flavour-filled, and family-friendly transition to solid foods?
