Baby Food Recipes

With its sweet and mild flavor and rich nutritional profile, sweet potato is a great food to start your little eater on.

Mild and comforting oatmeal combines well with fruit and vegetable purées, like the beet puree, adding fiber and oaty goodness to your baby’s meal.

Macaroni and cheese will inevitably become one of your child’s favorite foods, so why not embrace it? Infuse your mac and cheese with some puréed cauliflower to give it a nutritional boost. 

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.

This is a nutritious and comforting purée, pumping up the fluffy texture of mashed potatoes with the green goodness of spinach. Spinach also contains iron, which is essential for babies older than 6 months to get from food sources.

Packed with protein, tofu makes an excellent addition to your baby's diet. Combine tofu with carrots and spinach for a balanced blend of essential nutrients. 

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.

Purée a small portion of this well-rounded meal for your baby and serve the solid mixture to the rest of the family! 

With three all-star veggies in the mix, this purée is a nutritional triple threat. Once you make a salt-free baby version, feel free to mix in some veggie broth, salt, and spices to make a tasty, healthy grown-up soup! We love a double-duty recipe!

Often considered the best solid food to introduce to babies, banana is a tasty, low allergy-risk food. Recommended age: 6 to 8 months.

Smoothies—like this classic one—are a wonderful vehicle for nutrient-rich fruits and veggies. Full of fresh fruit and flavor, this is sure to become a quick favorite for your baby. 

Be sure to make enough of this one for yourself! Creamy, hearty and oh so healthy, you and your baby are going to love this soup!
