You can make your own healthy baby food for a whole lot less than traditional baby food. You can even freeze it for up to a month! For details on how to get started, click here.
What Baby Foods Will/Won’t Freeze???
| Puréed foods that we find freeze well (browning is not indicative of rot but of natural oxidization – that is unless you have used rotten fruit to begin with.) |
Puréed foods that we find do not freeze very well |
| Apples (may turn brown – freeze in slices for a nice teething reliever in a baby safe feeder) | Apricots (may not freeze solid and texture may be altered, otherwise ok) |
| Avocados (may turn brown when pureed, otherwise ok – best frozen in halves with a bit of lemon juice) | Citrus such as Orange, Tangerine or Grapefruit |
| Bananas (may turn brown when pureed, otherwise ok – freeze bananas whole in their jackets for less waste – cut in half, wrap then freeze) | Dairy products (may freeze yogurt – texture and color may change, otherwise ok) |
| Banana mixed with other fruits | Eggs (cook whole egg or just yolk and then freeze without pureeing.) |
| Blueberries | Melon (may become watery and taste/texture may change – ok to freeze if not puréed) |
| Broccoli | Grapes (freeze whole or halved) |
| Cauliflower | Potatoes – White(difficult to reconstitute when frozen in puréed form otherwise ok to freeze – may thaw and heat up with a mealy texture) |
| Carrots | Prunes (may not freeze solid and texture may be altered, otherwise ok) |
| Corn | Rice (difficult to reconstitute when frozen in puréed form otherwise ok to freeze) |

| Meats | Meats may become gritty when thawed otherwise they are fine. |

| Noodles – freeze “whole” | Noodles – do not freeze well when pureed. |
| Peaches | Papaya (great in chunked form – watery and gritty when in pureed form) |
| Pears (may turn brown and taste may change – mixed results – freeze in slices then mash for best bet) | |
| Peas | |
