Baby Food

I want to make my own baby food for my future baby. Here are some ideas:

Spinach and Banana Puree
Makes 2 cups
Puree 12 oz fresh spinach, 2 peeled bananas, and 1/4 cup each plain whole-milk yogurt and apple juice in a food processor until smooth. Refrigerate up to 3 days or freeze up to 1 month.

Carrot, Mango and Apple Puree
Makes 1 1/2 cups
Peel 3 carrots. Cut 1 mango into chunks. Halve and core 2 Granny Smith or Rome apples. Arrange fruits and veggies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and roast in 350 oven until tender - 20-25 mins. Puree until smooth. Cool, refrigerate up to 3 days, freeze up to 1 month

Roasted Banana and Blueberry Puree
Makes 2 cups
Arrange 3 unpeeled bananas and 1 pint blueberries on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Roast in 350 oven until berries burst and banana peels are deep brown, 20-25 mins. Remove and let cool slightly, then peel bananas. Puree fruit until smooth. Let cool, refrigerate.
