Avocado is a great first food because it is gentle on the digestive system and is packed with calories and nutrients. The preparation is very easy; you do not even need to use a blender or processor to puree. If you have a very ripe avocado all you need to do is mash with a fork! When I prepared it for my son, I tried the fork method but found my avocados were still a little hard to mash. I decided to use my blender and add a little water to the mixture to make it a nice smooth and creamy consistency.
The recipe is easy! Use one avocado at a time or do several to place in the freezer. The cubes will brown a little, but that does not mean that it is unhealthy for your baby to eat, it’s merely oxidization. I have read that slicing the avocado and storing in the freezer will help maintain the color and you can mash as needed.
Mash avocado until the fruit is a smooth consistency adding fluid as needed. You can also use a blender or processor to get a creamy blend.
I was able to make one tray of cubes with three avocados with some left over to use for a few days in the fridge. The top of the cubes did turn a little brown, but it was mostly green. You can add a little citrus juice such as lemon or lime to help with the browning if you would like. See the article below for nutrient information.
