Tropical Fruit Puree
Homemade Baby Food Puree
What you'll need
1 ripe mango, peeled, flesh cut from pit into small chunks
1 ripe papaya peeled, seeded, and cut into small chunks
Breast milk, formula or water, as needed
How to make it:
- Place the mango or papaya chunks in a food processor and puree until smooth. Add the breast milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to thin the puree; it should pour easily and have a consistency slightly thicker than heavy cream
- Serve immediately. To store, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or freeze in individual portions for up to 3 months.
Tip: when frozen these fruit purees provide baby with sweet relief when teeth start coming in!
How to freeze baby food:
- Place pureed baby food in an ice cube tray. Each ice cube is 1-2 ounces.
- Cover trays with plastic wrap or with an ice cube tray cover.
- Once the cubes freeze, transfer them to a storage container or plastic freezer bag. Label the bag with the name of the food, date and quantity of cubes.
Feeding Tip:
To test for any food allergies or reactions, feed baby one new food at a time for 2 or 3 days. If there is no reaction during this period, try serving baby a new fruit.
