A very simple puree combination for your little one which is extremely creamy and delicious. This can be offered from 6 months. After 7 months prefer to give this mashed instead of puree.
Ingredients:
- Apple-1(small)
- Pear-1(Small)
- Banana-1
- Water/Formula milk/Breast milk-2 tbsp
Procedure:
1.Wash apple and pear well.
2.Peel and de seed and chop into pieces.
3.Remove the skin of banana and slice.
4.Add them to the blender and grind with water/milk.
5.Serve it immediately.
P.S:
The colour depends on the variety of apple and banana you use.
I chose the golden pear which is yellow in colour and Indian apple which is soft.
You can also remove the black part of banana and blend.
Do not let this puree stay for a long time.
Adding water is optional.
I don’t prefer cooking fruits as I feel there might be a nutrient loss. You can however steam cook pear and apple gently if you wish.
You can offer this after 6 months after ensuring that your baby is not allergic to any of the above mentioned ingredients.
Always sterlise the bowls you use for baby.
Have a word with doctor before introducing any new food to baby.
