Baby food combinations with peaches
Easy Peach Puree {For Babies or Recipes}
Peach puree is so easy to make using fresh peaches! It’s a great first food for babies, but can also be used as a topping or mix-in for breakfast, dessert and drink recipes.
Peach season is here in full force and if you’re drowning in peaches and not sure what to do with them, I’ve got the perfect recipe for you… pureed peaches!
Peach puree is so simple to make and can be used in a variety of different ways. It’s an awesome stage 1 baby food, but can be used to sweeten and add peach flavor to breakfast recipes, desserts and even cocktails.
Peach Puree 2 Ways
There are two ways to make peach puree: with the skin on or with the skin removed. Let’s chat through the differences.
Fresh peaches with the skin on – this option works great if you have juicy, ripe peaches and a high powered blender that can totally puree the skins until they’re undetectable. I have a Vitamix so I typically go this route because it’s faster and the end result is smooth.
Blanched peaches with the skin removed – if you don’t have a high powered blender or just want to make sure your peach puree is silky smooth, this is a better option for you.
I’m sharing instructions for both methods below, but just know that you can use a blender or food processor to blend the peaches! Both work great.
What Type of Peaches Are Best
I recommend using fresh peaches for the ultimate flavor! When shopping for peaches, you want to buy peaches that are firm but give slightly when you press on the flesh. Try to get a peach without bruising or cuts.
Either white or yellow peaches work! I usually have yellow peaches on hand, but white peaches are actually sweeter and white peaches are what is typically used to make puree for making a bellini.
Are Pureed Peaches Sweet?
The sweetness level of the puree will depend on the ripeness of your peaches.
If the puree doesn’t taste sweet enough and you’re using it for a dessert, feel free to add a little sweetener. I’d recommend starting with 1 Tablespoon of honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar or cane sugar. Taste and add more, if needed.
If you’re serving the peach puree to a baby or toddler, I don’t recommend adding any sugar. The peaches will be plenty sweet on their own for baby!
Peach Baby Food
When you start solids with your child, peach puree is a great first food, similar to carrot puree. It’s obviously delicious on it’s own, but can be combined with a variety of other foods for stage 2 and beyond. I love the combo of peach and pear that I shared in my baby food combinations post.
Foods that Will Pair Well with Peach Puree:
- Green veggies – kale, spinach, avocado, zucchini
- Orange veggies – sweet potato, butternut squash, carrot
- White veggies – cauliflower
- Other fruit – mango, strawberries, banana, apples, banana
- Dairy – yogurt, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese
- Grains – quinoa, oats
- Seasonings and spices – curry, ginger, mint, nutmeg, cinnamon
- Peach, banana and apricot
- Pear, peach, pumpkin and oatmeal
- Peach, strawberry and pear
- Apple, peach, pear
- Peach mango
- Apple, Zucchini and peach
How to Store Peach Baby Food
Fresh peach baby food should be stored in the fridge and used within 3-4 days.
For longer storage, I recommend freezing the peach puree! I like using silicone ice cube tray or freezer safe jars because they make it easier to thaw smaller amounts for serving to babies.
How to Thaw Frozen Peach Puree
I recommend thawing frozen peach puree in the fridge the night before you want to use it, but you can also thaw it quickly with a warm water bath. It thaws quickly if you’re defrosting a small amount to serve to a baby.
Peach Puree for Toddlers
For toddlers, peach puree can be used a mix-in for yogurt or oatmeal, as a dip for pancakes or put into reusable pouches. I made a few pouches with this peach puree and Olivia devoured it.
Can I Use Frozen Peaches
Yes! I recommend using fresh, ripe peaches for the best flavor but you can absolutely use frozen peaches to make this puree year round. 3 large ripe peaches is equivalent to 1 pound or 16 oz of frozen peaches. Just make sure you thaw the peaches before blending!
How to Use Peach Puree
Like I mentioned above, there are so many ways to use peach puree! Here are some ideas:
- Baby food – your baby will love the sweet, nutrient-dense peach puree! Plain peach puree is a great first food for stage 1 eaters.
For more advanced eaters you can combine the peach puree with another puree or even add it to yogurt or oatmeal. As I mentioned above, I put the puree in reusable pouches and Olivia loved it. - Topping for pancakes and waffles – mmm level up your brunch plans by topping pancakes and waffles with this puree. Try it on my almond flour pancakes.
- Serve over ice cream – Serve over or swirl in peach puree into ice cream or frozen yogurt. Cannot wait to try this over my banana ice cream.
- Swirl into oatmeal, yogurt or chia pudding – instantly make your breakfast so much more flavorful by adding this puree to oatmeal or chia pudding. Try it in my mango chia pudding recipe… just replace the mango with peach puree.

Store peach puree in the fridge for 3-4 days or in the freezer or up to 3 months. I like to freeze the puree in silicone ice cube trays or small freezer-safe jars so I can easily thaw small amounts when I want to use them. This is a great option if you're making the puree for your baby.

- Frozen peaches: You can definitely use frozen peaches for this puree. Simply let the peaches thaw completely in the fridge, then add to your food processor or blender and puree. If you want the peach puree to be skin-free, you can steam or boil the thawed peach slices first, which will make them easier to peel.

It’s the most magical time of year – peach season!
With their sweet juicy insides bursting with intense summer flavor, peaches are always a hit in my house! My girls will devour peaches in everything I serve them – roughly chopped up as a quick snack, folded into fluffy pancakes, sliced on top of yogurt, inside warm cinnamon oatmeal, grilled as a dessert, skewered with chicken for a fun kabab, inside a warm cobbler, blended into a fresh smoothie, chopped in a barley salad, and that is just the beginning.
We just can’t get enough fresh peaches!
Don’t worry; peaches are not just for older kids and grownups to enjoy. Babies can enjoy their delicious taste as well. Just because your baby isn’t old enough to hold and eat a ripe peach, doesn’t mean you should let the summer’s yummiest fruit pass by their lips and not be enjoyed by their little taste buds.
These five twists on purées are an easy way to combine the fresh taste of peaches and the best of Beech-Nut’s amazing purées. All of these purée combos take less than 5 minutes to make and the only equipment you need is a blender!
Semi-homemade purées for baby in under 5 minutes, now we’re talking!
Not only do they taste great but peaches are packed with vital vitamins and minerals. Full of vitamin A and C, beta-carotene, calcium, iron and fiber, you can’t go wrong with adding in a ripe peach to any Beech-Nut purée.
1. Peachy Kale PuréeThis powerhouse purée is full of tasty peach goodness and superfood kale.
This purée is loaded with over 10 essential vitamins and minerals that help baby with brain development, bone and teeth growth, aids in digestion and helps promote healthy eyesight. It’s one of my favorite summer purées!
To Make: Blend together 1/2 ripe chopped peach and 1 jar of apple & kale purée in a blender for 30-45 seconds on high or until smooth. Pour the desired amount of purée into serving bowl and serve to baby.
2. Curry Peach + Carrot Purée with Multigrain Baby CerealCurry might sound like an odd spice to pair with peaches, but I find that curry brings out the earthy flavors of a peach and balances out their sweetness. When combined with carrot purée and a serving of Multigrain Baby Cereal, this purée combination becomes a savory meal your little one will love.
For baby, try to find a mild curry such as Madras, Matcha, Yellow Curry or Sweet Green Thai Curry. Each spice brand carries a slightly different blend of curry so just opt for one that is mild in spice.
To make: Blend together 1 ripe chopped peach, 1 jar or carrots purée and 1 big pinch of mild curry in a blender for 30-45 seconds or until smooth. In a small bowl make the cereal by mixing together 3 tablespoons of Multigrain Baby Cereal and 3 tablespoons warm water. Feel free to adjust the quantity of cereal based on how much your baby normally eats. Gently mix in the desired amount of purée and serve to baby.
3. Peach Cobbler Purée with YogurtI’m not sure who is going to love this puree combination more – you or your baby? Fresh peaches blended with apples, a touch a cinnamon and a hint of granola make a blue ribbon winner that tastes just like you are digging into a big bowl of homemade peach cobbler!
To make: Blend together 1 ripe chopped peach and 1/2 jar of apple, cinnamon & granola purée in a blender for 30-45 seconds on high or until smooth. Pour the desired amount of purée into a serving bowl and add 1 tablespoon of plain full-fat Greek yogurt on top.
Gently swirl and serve to baby.
Since you are able to control how chunky this purée is, the Peach Berry Purée is a great way to introduce a chunkier purée to baby. Each baby is different and eats at their own pace, but babies tend to crave a chunkier texture around 9-10 months of age. If your baby is younger in age or not ready for a chunky purée, you can easily soften this in a blender for a smoother texture.
To make: For chunky purée – In a medium bowl, take 1/2 peeled and chopped ripe peach and smash with the back of a fork until it is only slightly chunky. Add in 2-3 tablespoons apple & blackberry purée and mix until incorporated. Feel free to add in more purée to taste. Serve. For smooth purée – blend 1/2 peeled and chopped ripe peach and 1/2 jar of apple & blackberry purée in a blender for 30-45 seconds or until smooth. Pour desired amount of purée into serving bowl and serve to baby.
5.
Peach Mango Ginger PuréeFor a fun tropical twist, try blending together fresh peaches with the exotic mango purée along with a pinch of fresh ginger. This purée will be a fun delight for your little ones taste buds!
To make: Blend together 1 ripe chopped peach, 1 jar of mangos purée and 1 pinch of freshly minced ginger in a blender for 30-45 seconds until smooth. Pour the desired amount of purée into serving bowl and serve to baby.
