Notes

  • Use ripe avocados that are soft and easy to mash.
  • Store the puree in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. 
  • If you are making this puree to store in the fridge or freezer, do not add breastmilk or formula before storing it. Only add breastmilk or formula right before serving.
  • Each ice cube = 1oz of food. Also, as your baby gets used to solids, you don't have to thin out the avocado at all.
