Join the discussionHave you ever frozen Banana and Avocado together??
Yes I have. At times it turns a bit brown but my son loves it just the same. It is his favorite.
I make this for my son- it’s his favorite thing in the whole world! I couldn’t be happier, avacados are great for babies. I make it in huge batches and freeze it with the rubber cube trays, he goes through it fast. – He is 7 months and 22 pounds
how much breastmilk? 2oz? it isnt specific
Hi Melisa! We are in the process of updating all of the baby recipes to be a little more specific but in this recipe, the amount will depend on how thin you need the puree to be. I would start off with 1 ounce of breastmilk and then just add a little at a time if you need more.
This is delicious! I’ve just made it for my 7 1/2 month old can’t wait for him to try it!!
Wonderful! We think he’ll enjoy 😉
Sure thing..u blend banana avocado and papaya. .add some milk to make a not too watery consistency. .serve and refrigerate for a day
My 7 month old loved it
What do you mean by formula?
I am a potuguese mom and by direct translation i do not understand.
Thanks
We are talking about baby formula.
Thaw in the refridgerator?
Yes, I would suggest that everything be thawed in the refrigerator for food safety purposes.
Won’t the banana and avocado brown right away?
Hi Bel – sometimes the baby puree will brown but it will still taste great and work!
Can i give it to my 6mo baby?
This recipe is made for 6+ month babies, but we would recommend consulting with your family doctor if you have worries, concerns or are questioning any of the ingredients or recipes we have like this one. 🙂
Should we squeeze some lemon to prevent browning or would effect the taste?
Yes, Mona. That would be fine.
