Brown Rice Cereal

Cereal is a classic introductory food for babies. We like whole grains like brown rice for the nutrients and fiber they provide. As with all our purees, you can always thin this out with water or breast milk if the texture is too much for your little one.

  • RECIPES

Yogurt and Berries

This is a sweet and tangy way to introduce dairy into your baby's diet. Opting for real fruit as a sweetener is a great choice over pre-sweetened yogurt, as it adds fiber and tons of nutrients to the mix. Swirl in some chia seeds for a boost of iron and omega-3’s.

Beef, Potato, and Spinach

It’s a Sunday roast in purée form – a grownup meal for growing babies! Beef is a great source of iron, which babies start needing from external sources at 6 months of age. Blending it with other ingredients is a great way to introduce its texture to your little one.

Green Beans and Rice

Two classic dinner sides collide in one wholesome purée. Green beans are a great first veggie for babies since they’re mildly flavored and full of fiber, folate, vitamin A, and vitamin C – an essential nutrient that helps with iron absorption.

Peach and Oatmeal

This purée mixes soft, luscious peaches with hearty oats to make a filling blend your baby will eat right up. We recommend white peaches for their sweetness, but you can use any variety. Unsweetened canned peaches are also a great option.

Pear Puree

Sweet and juicy pears are all but guaranteed to be a big hit at the highchair. Peeling and steaming draws the sweetness out of pears that aren’t at their ripest, but you can always opt for unsweetened canned pears to make it super-easy on yourself.
