Homemade Baby Food - Frozen Cubes
Ages:
Baby
By:Sheri T.

A great way to keep processed foods out of you baby's system is by making your own baby food. Of course, it's difficult to prepare food for every meal, so a great way to prep in bulk amounts is to create frozen food cubes.

Puree the chosen food and add a bit of water to get it to the consistency you prefer.

Pour the liquid into ice cube trays and freeze.

Once frozen, dump cubes into a freezer bag, label and date. It will be easy to grab just one serving at a time this way.

You can put different cubes into single bags to create a specific day's menu and they are easy to travel with if you have a small cooler. When you're ready to use the cube, just warm, stir and feed.

Yes! We've been using this system for 2+ years now with our toddler. Got the idea from Ruth Yaron's book Super Baby Food. We keep about 1 month's worth of each food in a ziplock in the freezer. Every day, she gets a "porridge" made from 1 green cube (spinach, kale or collards), 1 orange cube (squash, carrots, or sweet potatoes), 1 sweet cube (reconstituted, then pureed prunes), and 1 protein cube (lentils or split peas). We nuke them for about 3 minutes, then stir in cooked quinoa, soy yogurt, vitamin drops and flaxseed oil. Whatever else she eats during the day, this mega-meal covers all the bases!
