We make all our own baby food for our 8 month old. I've done a lot of individual fruits/veggies: carrots, sweet potatoes, avocado, pears, banana, peaches, etc. I'm looking for ideas on combination items I could try making.
-
Color groupings are usually pretty successful.
- Carrot, sweet potato, pumpkin, mango, oranges, apricots, and peaches, with cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves (orange spice).
- Green veggies, pears, apples, kiwi, peas, and basil/parsley/cilantro/mint (green herb).
- Beets, purple potato, berries, and cherries.
- We added rice, quinoa, chickpeas, and white beans, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and oatmeal for bulk, fiber, and starch.
-Pumpkin goes really well with bananas or coconut cream. DS likes a mix of pumpkin, coconut cream, sweet potato, rice, and cinnamon.
- DS needed to bulk up so we added coconut cream, cottage cheese, olive oil, coconut oil, and butter pretty liberally to his purees. Or we'd stir in whole fat yogurt.

I looked at the pouches in the grocery store and copied their combos!

My favorite combo is rice + lentils + potatoes + chicken + whatever veggie you want. It blends up really well!
