Green Beans - a 1st food

I chose to start my little guy off on vegetables instead of fruit. It's really up to you what you want to begin with. Some people chose veggies, some fruit and different groups have different recommendations. The basic purees are very easy to prepare for your baby's first veggie tastes.

The first food Andrew tried was green beans and the puree is very easy.

Green Beans (fresh or frozen)
Boiled Water

If using fresh, wash beans, trim and pull out stem. Cook the beans by boiling, steaming or in microwave. Puree in blender or food processor adding fresh boiled water to make a smooth consistency. Beans can be a little lumpy but try to get them as smooth as your baby prefers.

You can save some beans in the fridge in sealable jars for 2-3 days and the rest can be frozen to be store for 2-3 months. Heat and serve to baby at feeding time.

He loved those first tastes of green beans, although he did make some funny faces at times!
