This simple baby puree is naturally sweet and is ideal to give to young babies. It’s easy to make and full of wholesome fruity goodness which your baby will just love.

1 ½ cups of ripe banana, peeled and diced into small cubes
½ cup of water
a squeeze of fresh lemon juice (optional)

Directions

Peel and core the apple and cut into small cubes;
Peel the banana and cut into small pieces;
Use the steaming function on your steamer blender, steam for approximately 6 - 8 minutes or until soft;
Take out the basket(s) and remove the water (keep water to one side);
Place the soft apple and banana into the jug and blend, adding small amounts of water, and a splash of the optional lemon juice, until the desired consistency is met (smooth for younger babies, leave more coarse for older babies);
Portion into reusable baby food pouches;
Serve with a food pouch spoon!
