Pineapple Puree
My easy 5-minute pineapple puree recipe is naturally sweet and the perfect introduction for babies moving onto solid foods. I make it with pineapple and water, so it's 100% natural and packed with a good source of fiber and Vitamin C to keep your baby's immune system strong and healthy.
Servings: 32 tablespoons
Calories: 5kcal
Ingredients
- 2 cups diced pineapple
- 1-2 tbsp water adjust based on how thick or thin you want your puree to be
Instructions
- Place the diced pineapple and water into a high-speed blender.
- Blend until smooth. Adjust the thickness by adding water as needed.
- Remove and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or freeze into ice cubes for later use.
Notes
- My #1 Secret Tip for making this pineapple baby food puree is to choose a ripe pineapple that looks yellow or slightly orange, not green. The ripe ones are sweeter, softer, and make a smoother, tastier puree that babies love.
- Using canned or frozen pineapple: I recommend draining canned pineapple before blending it and defrosting frozen pineapple beforehand.
- Limit usage if the baby has diaper rash: Due to the high acidity of pineapple, diaper rash may worsen while consuming it. Be mindful here.
- Using breastmilk or formula: Only add breastmilk or formula right before serving. Do not add it and then store the puree in the fridge or freeze it. If you’re planning to make this puree ahead of time, only use water to thin it out, and then add any additional breastmilk or formula immediately before serving.
