1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed & washed<\/p>\n

Splash of olive oil<\/p>\n

Dash of salt<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set a steamer basket into a pot filled with water just below the basket<\/li>\n
  2. Bring to a boil and add green beans<\/li>\n
  3. Cover and simmer for 7 minutes, longer if you’d like a softer bean for younger babies<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For Baby Led Weaning or your family dinner:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

    Once the beans have cooked, reserve what you’d like for baby and transfer the rest into a serving bowl and toss with olive oil.\u00a0 Add a dash of salt per taste for the adults.<\/p>\n

    Puree:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Steam for as long as 15 minutes or until tender<\/li>\n
    2. Puree in a food processor until smooth and strain through a sieve.\u00a0 Another option is to puree and strain with the Baby Food Mill<\/a> if you have a small amount of beans.<\/li>\n
    3. Spoon into ice cube trays, cover with plastic and freeze for at least 3 hours or until completely frozen.<\/li>\n
    4. Remove from trays and store in a freezer-safe container.\u00a0\u00a0 We use ziploc freezer bags\u00a0 marked with the food and date.<\/li>\n
    5. When ready to use, warm and if necessary add breast milk or formula to smooth texture.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Green Beans are a great first food for baby; low on the list for food allergies and full of vitamins.<\/p>\n
