Avocado and banana mash

Ingredients

For 4 servings. 1 serving = 1 adult; a 6-year-old eats about half.

  • Avocado1
  • Bananas1

You need

  • Sharp knife and chopping board
  • Potato masher or fork

Method

  1. Make this just before serving, as avocado browns fast.
  2. Halve the avocado, remove the stone and scoop out 1 avocado.
  3. Mash with 1 banana until smooth for 6 months, or leave soft lumps for 8 months and up. For 10–12 months, offer soft strips of each instead.
  4. Serve straight away at room temperature. No need to heat.

Keeping and freezing

  • Fridge: best eaten fresh.
  • Freezer: does not freeze well; eat within the fridge time.
