Ingredients
- 1 cup blueberries, diced strawberries, diced peaches (peeled), diced kiwi (peeled), diced pineapple (peeled), diced banana (peeled), diced mango (peeled), diced avocado (peeled), OR beans (rinsed and drained)
- water, formula, or breast milk (as needed)
Instructions
- Choose one fruit, the avocado, or beans and add to a blender.
- If making the puree with blueberries, strawberries, peaches, kiwi, pineapple, mango, or beans, add 1/4 cup water and blend, adding more water as desired to make a thin, very smooth puree. If making avocado or banana, just blend (without water) until very smooth.
- Serve or store in an airtight container for 3-5 days in the fridge, or up to 3 months in the freezer.
Notes
- Use at least 1 cup base ingredient to ensure that a blender has enough volume to blend well.
- Thin any homemade puree with water, formula, or breast milk.
- Freeze any baby food you won't use within 3 days in an ice cube tray. Transfer frozen cubes into freezer storage bags for up to 3 months. Thaw these frozen baby food recipes in an airtight container in the fridge overnight before you plan to serve.
- Taste all fresh foods for sweetness and to ensure that your puree isn't too tart. To tame tartness, mix any puree with Banana Puree , Avocado Puree, Applesauce, or Mashed Sweet Potato.
- If you want to add fat or protein to any of these fruit or veggie purees, simply stir in a little whole milk yogurt, coconut cream, or Avocado Puree.
- Use breastmilk or formula in place of the water if desired.
- Mix two purees together for more complex flavors.
- Add texture to any puree by stirring in baby oatmeal or hemp seeds.
