Strawberry puree is a healthy and delicious first baby food that babies 6 months and up can enjoy. You can either make strawberry puree from cooked strawberries or use fresh / frozen strawberries if you want to preserve more nutrients. Serve small portions by itself or mix the strawberry puree with other foods to make delicious puree combinations.
Wash the strawberries thoroughly under running water. Pat dry.
Cut off the stem and leaves of the strawberry.
Blend: Puree the strawberries in a blender or food processor to the desired consistency. There is no need to add liquid for blending, strawberries are naturally full of juice. But you can add breast milk or formula to the puree if you like.
Strawberry puree + leafy greens (or other green veggies like broccoli and zucchini)
An easier, shorter prep time: serve freshly mashed strawberries for more experienced eaters (7 months+)
Notes
The strawberry puree can be stored in the fridge for up to 48 hours.
Freeze for longer storage in a portioned freezer tray (just like an ice cube) for up to 3 months.
When you’re ready to serve, simply thaw the strawberry puree in the fridge overnight. For faster thawing, place it in a bowl of warm water for about 15 minutes.
