Well the rumors are true-babies love bananas, well at least Stella does. Based on the EWG’s organic list, bananas are a middle-of-the-road food. I opted to buy regular bananas. Stella loved the banana puree and it was a nice change after her Pea Puree protest. I kept a couple of the purees in the fridge and they will naturally discolor (similar to Avocado Puree)
Ingredients
5 Bananas
5 ounces of breast milk or prepared formula (if using breast milk-use fresh milk not frozen)
Directions
In your blender, add the breast milk or prepared formula first.
Peel bananas and break into pieces. Put into blender.
Using the puree setting, puree 15 seconds, scrape sides and then puree again for 15 additional seconds.
Makes 23 ounces.
Baby Food Storage
I store my baby food in 2 ounce plastic containers that I purchased from Babies R Us. Peapods also has containers for sale. You can also fill ice cube trays and once they are frozen, you can pop them out and store them in a feezer bag. Defrost food containers when ready to use by letting them soak in a container of hot water. Baby food can be safely frozen for 3 months. Use defrosted baby food within 24 hours of defrosting. Fresh purees can be safely refridgerated for 2 days.
