Learn the easiest way to transform fresh or frozen mango into a smooth homemade baby food with this easy Mango Puree. You can even make it ahead and freeze some for future week’s too. (I love it so much, I often eat it myself as an adult!)

Mango Puree

Mango is one of my older kid’s favorite fruits, so we almost always have some in the fridge or freezer. And once I realized that it was so easy to transform into puree when we had a baby in the house, everyone has been getting in on the vitamin C action!

This homemade baby food is naturally sweet and creamy. It’s really intensely flavorful and can be served on its own or paired with other foods including oatmeal, yogurt, pancakes, and, really, anything you think sounds good.

Ingredients You Need

To make this baby food puree, you need either fresh mango or frozen diced mango. If using fresh, you’ll want to cut it, which you can do by slicing off two large sections around the hard center. Then score lightly with a paring knife, push outward to expose the pieces, and cut off the flesh.

If using frozen, you’ll want to defrost it at room temperature, overnight in the fridge, or in 15-second increments in the microwave.

How to Make Mango Puree with Frozen Mango

This is so easy! Simply let frozen diced mango thaw overnight in the fridge, at room temperature, or briefly in the microwave. Then it’s ready to use in the recipe.

TIP: You don’t have to drain off the liquid from the thawed frozen mango, as it will blend right into the puree.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s a look at how to make this easy mango puree. Scroll down for the full recipe.

  1. Add your diced mango to a blender.
  2. Blend until smooth, adding water, formula, or breastmilk if needed. (I usually don’t find that any additional liquid is needed if using thawed frozen mango, but depending on the ripeness of your fresh mango, you may need a little.)
  3. Serve or store for later.

TIP: I prefer to store this in small portions so it’s easy to pull out and serve or mix with other foods.

Baby Mango Puree - Creative Nourish

Easy, no cook, this baby mango puree is loaded with vitamin C and is one of the best baby foods to start with. Sweet in taste and creamy in texture, it is absolutely delicious.

As you might already know, I am a huuuge fan of fresh, local and seasonal produce. But there are a few foods that most of us don't have locally available and have to compromise because they are just so good. Mango being one of them.

Mango is one of those foods that tastes perfect all on its own. So a stage 1 mango baby puree is a must-have when you start your baby on solid foods.

And not just because it's so easy to make but also because it tastes perfect, has a wonderful creamy texture and is full of great nutrients to keep your baby growing healthy.

Ingredients

Mango (obviously): when purchasing make sure that the mango is a little soft to the touch and free of any signs of deterioration. You don't want it to be squishy or have any dark spots or cracks.

How to store mango?

If it's not fully ripe, leave it at room temperature for up to 7 days until ripe.

When ripe, move to the refrigerator for about 5 days.

Mango Puree for Baby Benefits

Mango is a fruit that's really rich in vitamin C. But what most people maybe don't know is that it's also a great source of beta-carotene which is a precursor of vitamin A.

Another important thing for babies when they start solids is dietary fiber. This is because their little digestive systems might not be developed fully yet and the introduction of solids can lead to constipation.

So this is where food high in dietary fiber comes handy. And mangoes are just that.

They also contain a fair amount of B vitamins as well as minerals such as copper.

How To Make Mango Puree for Baby - 2 ways

Mango is one of those fruits that doesn't require any cooking before serving. Not even for a 6 month old's mango baby puree. Yessss!!!!!

There are two ways of making it though - from fresh mangoes and from frozen.

How to make frozen mango puree?

  1. Thaw the frozen mango three ways - either overnight in the fridge; place the sealed bag of mango in a bowl of cold water for about half an hour; or just pop it in a blender about 2 hours before you want to blend and let it thaw.
  2. Blend. Place the mango in the blender or food processor and blend until smooth. It may require a bit of water so you can add little by little making sure that it is not too runny.
  3. Serve or store for later use.

How to make mango puree from fresh mangoes?

  1. Cut the mango. Peel the mango and then cut around the seed. For the mango baby puree you don't really need to cut it further if you will be using a blender.
  2. Blend. Now that you’ve prepared your mango, just throw it in the blender. And blend until smooth. You can add a tablespoon of water to make it smoother but you will most likely not need it.
  3. Serve or store for later use.

Tips
  • There are certain blenders that were created just for baby food but we have always used either the inexpensive magic bullet, the Vitamix or a food processor for both our baby foods and every day for our (adult) smoothies.
  • Serving size is just for guidance, but if your baby needs more or less food please follow their cues.

How to serve?

Have two spoons, one where you preload the puree and put it on baby's tray so they can play and explore and the other that you can use to feed the baby.

If you are feeding the baby then make sure to follow their cues, place the spoon in front of their mouth and patiently wait for them to open. That way they baby feels in control of what and how much they are eating and can become confident in parent/child communication.

A great option is to offer them both a puree option and baby-led weaning. That way you know they are getting some food, while they are still able to fully explore the fruit they are eating. For more info on how to offer mango baby-led weaning see under "Possible variations" below.

How to store mango puree?

  • Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days
  • Freeze in an ice cube tray or small airtight containers up to 3 months
  • To thaw, remove from the ice cube tray and place in a airtight container in the fridge overnight

Possible Variations

Mango doesn't necessarily need to be served as a baby puree. See some variations below.

Mashed. If you’re over the puree stage, transitioning from purees to finger food or simply want to start with mashed rather than smooth baby purees then this recipe is perfect if you modify the “how-to” part. Instead of putting in the blender, you can simply mash the food up together by pressing down on the mango with a fork.

You’d probably want your mango to be a fully ripe here so that it’s easier to mash.

MASHED

Lumps. If you’re just a step away from finger food, you can also blend or mash one half of the mango and the leave the rest in pieces and then mix. That way your child will get used to new textures.

Mango Baby-led weaning. You'd also want your mango to be fully ripe here so that it's easy for your baby to chew on and avoid choking. Peel the mango and then cut into very thin slices.

You can read more about how to transition to finger foods here.

Mango Baby Food Combinations

Mango goes well with lots of different fruits. You can try pineapple, banana, sweet potato, peaches, nectaries, apricots, olive oil, cinnamon, nutmeg.

FAQ

Do you cook mango for baby puree?

No, mango for baby does not need to be cooked. Just peeled and blended.

What age can baby have mango puree?

Baby can have mango puree from when they start eating solid foods, so usually from around 5 months old or 6 months old.

Is mango good for babies?

Mango is a fruit that has a high amount of vitamin C so it is a great option to give to your baby if you want to boost their immune system. It also has a lot of little compounds that can act as antioxidants and help your baby's body fight against all kinds of diseases.
