Creamy Avocado Mash is a delightful and nutritious baby food option that's perfect for introducing avocados to your little one. With just a couple of ingredients, this recipe is quick, easy, and loaded with healthy fats that are great for growing brains!
Avocado: A ripe avocado is creamy and smooth, making it perfect for mashing. It's packed with healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals crucial for your baby's development.
Breast milk or formula (optional): Adding a tablespoon of breast milk or formula can make the mash even creamier, and it helps maintain a familiar taste for your baby.
Serve the Creamy Avocado Mash on its own, or try spreading it on a small piece of whole grain toast for older babies exploring finger foods. Pair it with soft-cooked scrambled eggs or a mild cheese for a balanced meal.
Start by taking a ripe avocado and cutting it in half lengthwise. Twist the halves to separate them, and use a spoon to gently remove the pit. If the pit is stubborn, try tapping it with a knife and twisting it out carefully.
Next, scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl. A spoon works well for this. Make sure you get as much of the green goodness as possible. Once the avocado is in the bowl, grab a fork and start mashing. You're aiming for a smooth, creamy texture without any lumps. If you want a bit more creaminess, stir in a tablespoon of breast milk or formula until fully combined.
Serve the mash immediately to maintain its freshness and vibrant color. Avocado tends to brown quickly, so it's best enjoyed right after preparing.
