Kara recently turned 6-months-old, and you know what that means — time for solids!
I decided that I wanted to try to make more homemade baby food this time around, and for Kara’s first experience with solids I chose to simply mash a fresh banana for her.
I mash bananas and other fruits and vegetables for her in this simple yet effective product from Nuk’s new Freshfoods line. The Freshfoods Mash & Serve Bowl makes preparing fresh homemade baby food a breeze. I love that this is such a basic idea that helps you more easily mash the food, but doesn’t take up a lot of space or require electricity or batteries.
The Freshfoods Mash & Serve Bowl is also simple to clean up. You can easily wash it in the sink, or throw it in the dishwasher.
Aside from fruits like bananas that are already soft, I’ve been steaming vegetables for Kara and mashing them in the Freshfoods Mash & Serve bowl.
Kara particularly loves sweet potatoes and this creamy, delicious banana avocado mixture I make for her!
Avocado & Banana Baby Food
A creamy homemade baby food (appropriate for babies at least 4 months) featuring two vitamin-packed first fruits, banana & avocado!
Ingredients:
1 Ripe banana
1 Ripe avocado
Directions:
Cut up one ripe banana and remove meat from a ripe avocado. Combine the fruit and mash to a creamy texture, adding a little water if needed to loosen.
I was provided with the Mash & Serve Bowl from Nuk to facilitate this review. Opinions are my own.

I would like it because I have about 6 baby showers to go to around the same time and this would really help me on gifts.

I would love to win this and be able to make homemade baby food. I don’t have the extra money for one of the electric/battery operated machines, and I love that this is basic and easy to use.

I’d like to win this bowl because I’m planning on making my own baby food, and this would be lovely to do it with.

it would be a lot easier to prepare home-made baby food for my almost 8-month-old

We will soon have a new baby (due any day now) and it won’t be long before I hope to be making fresh organic baby food for him or her. Thanks.
I would love to win this because I make my daughters baby food and use a baby bullet, but I feel like it doesn’t work as well as it should. This would take us way less room in my kitchen too!
I would love to make homemade fresh baby food. I think that it is important that baby eat more natural foods.

I make my own baby food and this looks so much better than dragging out the mixer!
