What's in it

Tap any ingredient for its safe form at your baby's age — the recipe assumes those preps.

Steps

  1. 01Blend a handful of blueberries with half a ripe peeled pear until smooth.
  2. 02Strain only if the skins bother your baby — most blend right in.
  3. 03Freeze in an ice-cube tray, then transfer the cubes to a freezer bag.
  4. 04Thaw 1–2 cubes in the fridge; stir into porridge or serve as is.

Why it works

Pear's mild sweetness rounds out blueberry's tang, and the deep purple color makes any porridge or yogurt instantly interesting — a two-fruit stash for rushed mornings.

Storage

Freezer cubes keep 2 months; thawed cubes keep 24 hours in the fridge — never refreeze.
