Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh strawberries

Instructions

  • Wash and dry the berries. Remove the stems and slice. You'll want at least 1 cup of sliced berries.
  • Add to a blender.
  • Blend until very smooth.

Notes

  • Store it in the fridge in small airtight containers for up to 3 days.
  • Freeze small portions in an ice cube tray, then transfer the cubes to a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw one or two cubes at a time in a small airtight container in the fridge overnight before you plan to serve.
  • This is extra delicious during the spring when fresh local berries are in season, but you can make it any time of the year.
  • Try stirring some of the puree into yogurt, baby oatmeal (or your oatmeal!), or add to a smoothie.
  • If the puree tastes tart to you, it will taste tart to baby. If you think it's too tart, stir in a little plain whole-milk yogurt or applesauce.
