Apple and Pumpkin Baby Food

This Homemade Apple & Pumpkin Baby Food Puree is an easy and healthy recipe to feed your baby! Only 3 ingredients (pumpkin, apples and water) means that it's naturally gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan with no preservatives, food colouring or additives!

Ingredients

• 1 small (250g) pumpkin, roasted, scooped about 1½ cup
  
• 3 medium apples, peeled, cored

Directions

1. Place apples, pumpkin into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Start the blender on its lowest speed, then quickly increase to its highest speed. Blend for 1 minute. If necessary, add up to an ½ cup cooled boiled water and continue blending until mixture reaches desired consistency (younger babies (4-7 months) need thinner purees, while older babies (8+ months) can handle a little bit of texture)!
   
2. Freeze in 1-2 tbsp portions using an ice cube tray or silicone mould. Once frozen, remove cubes from tray/mould and transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer.
   
3. Place desired number of cubes in a microwave safe container and warm for 30 seconds per cube. Check to ensure they are not too warm before feeding to your baby!
