There’s no simpler purée than this one. You can make it anywhere in just 5 minutes, and it’s one of the ones babies love most.
The banana is a natural source of energy that’s rich in potassium and vitamin B6, ideal for keeping little ones full of vitality. Its sweet flavor and soft texture also make it one of every child’s favorite fruits.
How to make banana purée for babies
- Peel the banana and cut it into slices.
- Put the slices in a deep plate, add a tablespoon of milk and mash the banana with a fork.
- Turn the plate with your left hand while mashing with your right hand, so you go over the same spot with the fork several times and no large pieces are left.
- If you need a smoother texture, add one or two more tablespoons of milk and mash again.
- Put the purée in a small bowl so it’s easier to feed to your baby, and it’s ready to eat!
Tips and advice
- This purée has some texture, but it’s so soft that even the youngest babies can eat it with no problem. Honestly, it’s not worth getting out the blender and making a mess to prepare it.
- You can also make this purée with orange juice, tangerine juice or any plant-based drink instead of milk.
- Mashed banana oxidizes quickly when it’s exposed to the air. It doesn’t go bad, but the color gets darker and it becomes less appealing. That’s why you should prepare it right before eating and it’s not worth storing it from one day to the next.
- Since a banana in its peel is easy to carry, this is a purée you can easily prepare when you’re away from home.
