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.

Cheesy Cauliflower

Cheese and cauliflower – a match made in veggie heaven. Cauliflower is a cruciferous veggie that’s packed with fiber, vitamin K, and vitamin C. When your little one is ready for a heartier meal, add noodles to this puree to make a nutritious mac and cheese.

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.

Plate of pureed green beans and rice with steamed green beans and rice

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.

Kidney Bean, Sweet Potato, and Cinnamon

Whip up this sweet and nutty blend to feed your little one a hearty mix of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and plant protein. It’s also a good choice for self-feeding – just serve pre-loaded on a baby spoon or spread on top of baby crackers and let your cutie take it from there.

Blender with berries surrounding blender and tablespoon of chia seeds
  • 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.
