Ingredients:

4 ripe bananas

3/4 cup raspberries

3/4 cup blueberries

1 cup Greek yogurt

Preparation:

Berries are delicate fruits and are hard to wash thoroughly. We always soak ours in cool water and a splash of vinegar for a couple minutes and then give them a good rinse in running water. After a good washing, place the berries on some paper towel, gently roll them around to soak up the water, and set them aside for a couple of minutes to dry.

Bananas are technically berries, but strawberries aren’t! The banana plant is classified as an herb, not a tree. Bananas are the world’s most popular fruit, with over 100 billion consumed annually. The average American eats 27 pounds of bananas each year.

Ripe bananas will work best because they add a good amount of sweetness and won’t cause constipation. Peel the bananas and remove the stringy fibers. We like to snip the ends off as well to remove the dark bits. Slice the bananas into approximately one inch pieces.

Ripe bananas are softer and easier to mash, making them gentler on a baby’s developing digestive system. They are also sweeter, which can be more appealing to a baby’s taste buds. Unripe bananas, on the other hand, are firmer and contain more starch, which can be harder to digest and potentially lead to gas and discomfort.

Place the berries in a blender or food processor and run on high speed until the berries are completely liquefied. Add the Greek yogurt and blend until thoroughly combined. Finally, reduce the speed to medium and begin adding the bananas a couple of pieces at a time. Once the bananas have pureed, run the blender on high for a minute or two to make sure everything is thoroughly blended.

This recipe can easily be reduced for a smaller batch. One banana, a handful of berries, and a few spoonfuls of yogurt would make only a meal or two. This banana, berry, and Greek yogurt baby food will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days in an airtight container, but the nutritional value will decrease due to oxidation.

We prefer making larger batches and freezing meal sized portions for convenience. You can freeze the banana, berry, and Greek yogurt baby food for future use. It should keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. We like to use freezer safe baby food containers to freeze in meal sized portions.
