Sweetie Yogurt

Fruit and yogurt is always a winning combination.  This is one of our favorites, with sweet potato added for a heartier meal.

Sweetie Yogurt

1 cooked mashed sweet potato
1/4 cup mashed mango
1/4 cup mashed banana
1/4 cup plain yogurt

Heat the mashed sweet potato, mango, and banana in saucepan, mix well, remove from heat.  Add yogurt and combine.

Yum!

Avocado Fruit Salsa

Here's one the whole family enjoys.  This is my boy's favorite way to eat avocado.

Avocado Fruit Salsa
1 small avocado
1 peach
1/4 cup cut Mango (I didn't have any but I bet it'd be delish)
1/2 banana
Lemon juice
Lime juice

Combine cubed avocado, peach, and mango in a bowl.  In another bowl mash 1/2 a banana and add lemon juice and lime juice (a bit less than you would use for yourself).  Pour the banana mixture over the cubed fruit like a glaze.  Mash LIGHTLY* with a potato masher.  Serve either as a sticky finger food or spoon feed.

*The way you serve this will determine how mashed you make it.  If your baby won't eat chunks off a spoon and you need to feed it as a finger food, keep the cubes mostly in tact.  If your baby will eat this off a spoon, you can mash more thoroughly, but it should be far from a puree.


My husband and I ate this with chips and LOVED it!  It's a good mild salsa.  Feel free to add more lemon, lime, and jarred mango salsa to it for you!


Tip:  If this flavor is too strong a flavor for your baby, try using baked apple instead of the mango and less lemon & lime.
