How to Make Strawberry-Banana Baby Food

One of my babies' favorite flavors of baby food was Strawberry-Banana so I decided to make my own for them to eat to provide them the most nutrients and freshness.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 
    

   To make Strawberry-Banana baby food, you essentially need strawberries and bananas. If you do not have a food processor or blender, make sure you mash them up very well so there are no chunks for your baby to choke on. Other steps will assume you are using a blender.

2. 
    

   Place 1 banana and 6 strawberries in a blender. If you would like to make more than one serving, just multiply the recipe by however many servings you would like. Put a splash of apple juice or orange juice in for extra taste and nutrients. Finally add 1/2 cup of ice and blend.

3. 
    

   Check to ensure there are no chunks of fruit or ice for your baby to choke on. Pour in a bowl and serve. If you are making multiple servings, place all food in baby jars. It's best to refrigerate food that you will use within two days and freeze the rest to ensure nutrients and freshness stay in the food.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are wanting a fresh treat, you could always go the route of making enough to have a smoothie for you and a meal for your baby. That way you both get the nutrients!
