Egg Yolk Avocado Banana Mash

1 hard boiled egg yolk

1/2 avocado

1/2 banana

Mash all three ingredients with a fork. Add breast milk or formula to desired consistency. Serve immediately.

This has been a favorite in our home as well as one of my good friends, a mom of three. It’s sweet, rich and full of nutrients for baby.

My son is 8 months and loves solids,but he only eats a few bites at a time when I do give them to him. So I would love to be able to freeze the foods I make, so that I can use just a bit at a time when I feed him. Can all of these recipes you have here be frozen to eat later? Or maybe the avocado and banana frozen and then adding the egg yolk when I am ready to feed him? What do you think?

I understand how you don’t want to waste food, I’m like that too. Most of our recipes can be frozen and at 8 months old you can offer him a wide array of foods. Fill each hole in the ice cube tray only half way up so you have smaller portions of food. One cube is about one ounce of food. You can hard boil eggs and have them on hand, they will last in the refrigerator about a week. You could also puree banana and freeze it, but I have never frozen the avocado. It will probably turn brown from oxidation, which is not healthy. Does he like finger foods? Peas, small pieces on steamed vegetables, lentils and well cooked legumes; even pieces of rice or quinoa could be an option for him if you’re serving him grains.

You can freeze avocados without a problem; they will not oxidise! Actually you can freeze slices of avocado without a problem as well 🙂
