Ingredients

½ avocado

½ cup green peas, fresh or frozen

Directions

Rinse peas, and add to a small pot over medium-high heat. Add water, about 1-inch above the peas and bring to a boil, reduce heat and cook for 5 minutes.

Drain peas and cool slightly. Place the peas into a mortar and pestle, food processor, or blender with the avocado. Process until smooth. Mix with water or breast milk for the desired texture.

Pro Tips

The best way to make baby food for your little one is to avoid adding salt, sugar, or other additives.

You can also add other ingredients such as olive oil, sweet potato, or cooked brown rice. If your baby is older than 6 months, you can add garlic and cilantro for more flavor.

The amount of water or breast milk you add depends on how much puree your baby needs. You’ll know when your baby has had enough puree when their cheeks fill up like a chipmunk’s!

As with any other recipe, the key to making great Avocado and Peas Baby Food is using fresh ingredients with no artificial flavors or colors. If you can find organic avocados and peas, that would be ideal.

When avocados are picked from their tree, they begin to ripen. If you want some rock-hard avocadoes to ripen rapidly, throw them in a brown paper bag alongside an apple or banana. The fruit will emit ethylene gas, which accelerates the ripening process. If you have some avocadoes that are already ripe but want to keep them for a little longer, putting them in the fridge will slow down the ripening process.

You can make it in small batches or make a large batch of baby food to freeze for future use.

How to Store Avocado and Peas Baby Food?

Avocado and peas puree can be kept in the fridge for 3-4 days or frozen for 3 months. Make sure not to add milk or water to it while storing.

It is important to note that an avocado that has been cut open may turn brown quickly in the refrigerator; therefore, freezing it may be your best alternative.

If you wish to freeze, I recommend using clean silicone ice cube trays or freezer-safe jars because it is easier to defrost smaller portions for feeding babies.
