Tasty Avocado Baby Food Combinations
These simple avocado baby food recipes are lip-smacking good
By Sarah Prager
Avocado baby food offers a nutritious first step in solid foods for babies. To begin with, avocados contain 20 vitamins and minerals, including folate, potassium, iron, zinc, and vitamins A, C, E, and K, plus several variants of vitamin B. In addition, avocados are packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats without no cholesterol or sodium. Avocados are very low in saturated fat, too. Babies need omega-3 fatty acids to promote brain and eye development, and avocados are one of the fattiest plant foods that are a great source of oleic acid, an important omega-3 that’s also found in olive oil.

Conveniently, avocados are also soft and easy for babies to gum and swallow. They’re simple for busy parents and caregivers to mash with a fork or puree in a food processor. Plus, avocados are easy to combine with other healthy foods for simple baby foods. So, which avocado baby foods should you make at home? Here are seven simple recipe ideas for your little one to enjoy that are a snap to make.
Easy, fun-flavored yummy avocado/fruit puree
For a quick avocado baby food meal, puree avocado in a food processor or small blender with a sweet fruit, and your baby will gobble it up. Here are some fruits that make a tasty combination with avocado:
- Banana
- Apple
- Pear
- Kiwi
- Pineapple
- Strawberry
With these purees, as with any baby food purees, you can add water, breast milk, or formula to change the consistency. Avocados are rather firm and will make a whipped consistency, but if you add liquid, the puree will thin out. The thinner the consistency, the easier the puree is for a baby to swallow.
There isn’t any need to cook avocados, but with harder fruits like apples, you may want to steam them first before pureeing.
You can also alternate the amounts of each ingredient as needed. You can add one whole avocado in with half an apple of steamed slices with a little water, or you could throw in one to 10 strawberries, depending on what you find your baby prefers. The avocado to fruit ratio is totally up to you and dependent on what baby likes.
Super nutritious, avocado/green vegetable puree
Go green with this tasty and healthy avocado/veggie puree. These vegetables make nutritious and delicious combo purees with avocado:
- Peas
- Broccoli
- Kale
- Spinach
- Asparagus
Just like the fruit purees, you can add liquid to change the consistency and play with the ratio to find the combination your baby likes best.
Crispy, easy-to-grab coated avocado slices
If you’ve ever tried serving your baby raw avocado, you know it’s very slippery.
However, cutting the avocado into slices allows babies to grasp and feed themselves, helping to develop fine motor skills. Moreover, you can coat the slices in a breadcrumb mixture made of crumbled baby crackers, puffs, or wafers to make the slices easier to hold. It also makes good use of the dust at the bottom of the puffs container.
Vitamin-packed avocado/banana smoothie
Of course, you can DIY any smoothie recipe, but here are a few avocado combos perfect for a nutritious smoothie for baby:
- Avocado, banana, spinach, and yogurt
- Avocado, banana, blueberries, and baby oatmeal
- Avocado, banana, mango, and peach
- Avocado, banana, and strawberries
Mix and match all you want to find that perfect avocado/banana smoothie your baby loves. Pop it all in the blender with your choice of liquid (water, breast milk, or formula) and you’re done! You can add flax or chia seeds to any of these recipes for extra nutrition or maple syrup for a touch of sweetness.
Avocado baby food and sweet potato puree
Sweet potatoes are cheap, naturally sweet on the little one’s taste buds, and easy to cook and puree. After you cook two cups of diced sweet potatoes, mix them with the pulp of one avocado in a blender. Then, add one cup of water at a time, until you get the thickness of the puree you’re looking for.
Delicious avocado blueberry muffins
If you’re ready to get more complex, go all out by baking avocados into muffins using this recipe. You’ll get 36 mini muffins that store in a Tupperware container on the counter for a week. This one is best for older babies who can chew beyond purees. They’re great for toddlers too.
Protein Power avocado/egg puree
For this nutrition powerhouse meal, add a hard-boiled egg (never serve raw or undercooked egg to a baby) to a half of an avocado with a tablespoon of water (or breast milk or formula) and blend. For even better consistency, add only the hard-boiled yolk to the mixture and set the hard-boiled whites aside for another recipe.
How early can avocados be introduced to baby?
You can give your baby their first taste of avocado right around the six-month milestone. It’s around the same time that you’ll be introducing fruits, vegetables, and solid foods other than rice cereal.
Feeding a baby raw, mashed avocado is certainly a good introductory food, but with these combinations, you’ll be enhancing the flavors and increasing the nutrition, all while helping to avoid a picky eater by giving a diversity of tastes in each meal. An avocado can freeze for up to a month before losing its nutritional value and taste, so store the extra puree in ice cube trays and defrost as needed. Since avocados can turn brown so quickly, freeze them right away if you’re not going to serve them immediately. Don’t forget to sneak yourself a taste while you’re cooking. Avocados are a healthy pick for adults too.

Avocado is frequently used in baby foods because of its creaminess and easy-to-process pulp. Additionally, you may wish to introduce several avocado baby food recipes because they are high in essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and a balanced quantity of fats, all of which are important for a growing infant.
Many parents wonder whether avocado can be given as the first food to a baby who has just started eating solids. This article discusses various aspects of avocado for babies and provides the finest avocado-based baby food recipes.
When Can Babies Have Avocado?
Avocado can be the first food for your baby, which means you can feed an infant avocado at the age of six months (1).
While the creamy texture comes from fat, it is a “good” fat, and is vital for the baby’s growth. Avocados are also packed with several other vital nutrients for the infant.

Health Benefits Of Avocado For Babies
Your baby reaps the following health benefits when he eats avocado:
- Keeps the nervous system healthy: Avocado contains more folic acid (also called folate or vitamin B9) than many other fruits. Folic acid is essential for the healthy development of the nervous system, including cognitive abilities of the brain. Regular consumption of avocado can act as a nervous system tonic for your little one (2).
- Provides good fat for growth: The fat found in avocados consists of monounsaturated fatty acids, which help the body grow and stay healthy. It means you can feed your baby an avocado every day without worrying about him becoming overweight (3).
Related: Are Fat Babies Healthy And When Is It A Concern?
- Good for gross motor skills: An avocado has more potassium than a banana (4). A healthy intake of potassium is essential for proper functioning of the skeletal muscles (5). The health of the skeletal muscles, in turn, determines the progress of the gross motor skills.
- Boosts immunity: Avocados contain several micronutrients and vitamins. The fruit is rich in vitamin B6 that is vital for maintaining healthy immunity, which in turn protects the infant from a host of illnesses (6) (7).
- Improves eye health: Avocado is rich in antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin that accumulate in the eyes and improve vision. These antioxidants also help protect the eyes from degenerative effects of the ultraviolet rays from sunlight (8).

Now, let’s understand how you could choose the best avocados.
How To Select And Store Avocados?
Selection: Avocados you buy in the market are often unripe. While it is okay for adults, babies will probably not like the slightly bitter taste of the unripe fruit.
- The best way to check if an avocado is ripe is to gently press it in the palm of your hand. A ripe avocado will feel firm, but yield a bit to the pressure from the hand (10). An unripe avocado will feel palpably hard, and an overripe one will crack or burst open when pressed.
- Choose avocados that have a dark green skin and a rough and bumpy feel.
- Observe the pulp once you cut an avocado at home. The pulp of a ripe avocado is light green and gets yellowish-green around the skin of the fruit.
Storage: It is best to consume sliced avocados fresh since the pulp is rich in fat and could be susceptible to bacterial degeneration.
If you intend to store some sliced avocado, then turn it into puree, pour the puree into an ice cube tray, and freeze it (11). Consume it within a couple of days by thawing the fruit before eating.
Fresh fruit should be your first option since even the frozen avocado puree can lead to loss of nutrients.
Selecting and storing avocados is easy. And, in the next section, we tell you how to cook avocados for your baby.
How To Process Avocados For Baby Food?
Avocados are best eaten raw. Just like bananas, you remove the peel of the avocado and eat the pulp. Boiling or direct heating can make oils in the avocado pulp taste unappealing (12). However, you can bake and grill an avocado. You can also process the raw pulp for baby food. Here are the different ways to process avocados for babies:
- You can grill avocados either on a conventional charcoal grill or in an oven. Cut the avocado into two, remove the seed, and cut the fruit lengthwise into thin slices.
Grill the slices for three minutes. If you intend to cook in an oven, then preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Place the avocado slices on an oven grill and grill for ten minutes.
- To bake, cut the avocados the way you want – either slices or small chunks. Preheat the oven to 425ºF (218ºC). Bake the avocado for 20 minutes.
- Scoop out the pulp on a plate and use a fork to mash it. You can feed mashed pulp to the baby without any further processing.
- Pureeing the fruit is easy. Transfer the scooped pulp into a blender, add some water, and blend it till you attain a desired consistency.
- You can blend avocado with baby formula to add flavor to it.
Now, let’s take a look at a few recipes that use the above techniques of cooking the fruit.

Avocado is a wonderful fruit that packs a lot of nourishment. But it might be unsuitable to some infants.
Can A Baby Be Allergic To Avocados?
Yes. Infants can be allergic to avocado, and skins hives (medically called urticaria) is the most common symptom of avocado allergy. Other symptoms of avocado allergy are diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, swelling of the face, and drowsiness.
If your infant is allergic to banana and melon, then do not feed avocado as infants with allergies to these fruits are 90% likely to be allergic to avocado. If your baby has other allergies or allergic conditions such as asthma and eczema, then you can delay the introduction of avocados up to the age of nine months (14).
You should also consult a pediatrician before introducing the fruit. In any case, be alert to the signs of avocado allergy in the baby.
You may have some more questions about the avocado fruit, and we address those queries in the section below.
1. Can my baby eat avocado every day?
Yes. Avocados can be a part of your baby’s daily diet. There is no limit to how much avocado he can eat. But, do not overfeed! Just make it a part of the regular diet.
2. Should I select organic avocados for my baby?
Yes, you can, but it is not always necessary. According to experts, avocados are among fruits that are least likely to be contaminated by pesticides and are mostly free of any harmful chemical residue (15). It means the avocado you pick at a supermarket is safe for your baby.
3. Can I use avocado oil for baby food?
Yes. However, feeding it to your baby in the fruit form is a better option. Avocado oil provides a fraction of nutritional benefits that a whole fruit does. Therefore, avocado fruit is healthier for your baby. You can still use avocado oil when shallow-frying vegetable pieces for your baby’s finger food. It is to be noted that the avocado oil is more expensive than other oils and buying fruit offers better value in terms of money and nutrition for your baby.
4. Does avocado cause gas in babies?
Yes, but only in small amounts. Every food produces gas in the gastrointestinal tract. It is only when the gas causes discomfort to an infant that the food becomes a concern. Pediatric experts state that avocado produces normal quantities of gas in the gastrointestinal tract of a baby. It means, it is tolerable and does not cause any problems to the infant (16).
5. Do avocados lead to constipation in infants?
There is no scientific evidence to prove that avocado can cause constipation. In fact, pediatric experts recommend avocado to treat constipation, as the fruit contains moderate level of fiber, which eases bowel movement (17).
Avocado is rich in protein, calcium, magnesium, healthy fat, and other nutrients. It is a good choice for babies over six months. You may offer them avocados in baked, grilled, or pureed forms. Its creamy and soft texture also allows you to create delicious avocado baby food recipes such as avocado and banana mash or mango and avocado puree. So, if your baby is not allergic to avocados, feed them the fruit daily to keep their nervous system healthy, help develop gross motor skills, and boost immunity.
