Avocado is one of those rich in fat, but awesome for you foods! I wish I could say the same about ice cream! My baby's first food was actually avocado, but now that he's experienced other flavors, he doesn't seem to love it by itself. If I could speak for him, I may say, it is probably a little bland. I've put cilantro and even a little bit of chili pepper in it before and then I thought, well, why not make guacamole! For the sake of keeping things a little different and flavorful, because I already had it and he loves it so much, I decided to add mango. Of course, he is already had all the ingredients separately so I know he is not allergic, but I decided to add a new one, red onions. I chopped them up finely in the food processor, and sauteed them in a pan (until translucent) so that their sweetness would come through and so that they were tender.
This is a great snack for mom as well! Add lime, jalapeno or chili pepper, salt and pepper and bring on the tortillas chips. Don't you wish the fat in those was good for you too? Oh well, I guess we can't have it all! There's corn in them, that's good for you, right?
I haven't been posting exact recipes because it's all about how much your baby eats. For his serving today I used about:
1 1/2 oz of avocado puree that was already frozen (you can also just cut up a ripe avocado and smash it with a fork, its so easy!)
1 tbsp of red onion, finely chopped
1 tsp of cilantro, finely chopped
*You could also give your baby this combination without the mango puree
WARNING: Beware of onion breath ;)
