This delightful avocado baby meal is perfect for introducing your little one to new flavors and textures! Made with creamy, ripe avocado, it results in a smooth, gentle puree that is easy for babies to eat.

Equipment
Method
- Begin by selecting a ripe avocado. It should yield slightly to pressure.
- Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a mixing bowl.
- Use a fork to mash the avocado until smooth. For a finer texture, transfer to a blender.
- Gradually add the water (or breast milk/formula) to the avocado while mixing until you reach the desired consistency.
- Taste the puree; if desired, add a pinch of cinnamon or a small drizzle of lemon juice for flavor enhancement.
- Divide the puree into small portions in a storage container.
- Serve fresh or refrigerate, clearly labeling the container with the date.

Notes
Feel free to adjust the consistency of the puree depending on your baby's stage—they may enjoy a thicker texture as they grow.
If your baby doesn't respond well to lemon juice, simply skip that step; this dish is nutritious on its own.
To store leftovers, keep the puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. When reheating, make sure to serve it at a safe temperature.
As always, introduce new foods one at a time and consult with your pediatrician if you have any concerns. Enjoy watching your baby discover the joy of food!
