Green Bean Puree

Hold on ’cause I’m about to tell you something shocking. 😲

This homemade green bean puree is not only full of essential nutrients, but it is also delicious!

I know, this seems hard to believe because pureed green beans as baby food get a pretty bad rap.

But it’s 💯 true! This green bean puree will knock your 🧦 off!

We start with fresh or frozen green beans that are gently steamed to bring out the freshness. Then, we blend them into a velvety and creamy puree for baby. I add a pinch of cilantro, parsley, or basil to this puree to round out the flavor profile, but you can skip that step if you prefer. Because we are using this gentle way of cooking the green beans 💚, their taste doesn’t get aggressive, making it the perfect light puree for your baby’s first bite.

Is it your first time making homemade baby food? If you answered yes, then I suggest you start this journey by reading my in-depth Guide on How to Make Homemade Baby Food. The detailed article goes over all the essential information such as the best cooking tools to have on hand, safe storage, knowing when your baby is ready for solids, introducing purees, making the best first foods for baby, and more!

Recipe Tips

Adding Healthy Fats: Adding a teaspoon of avocado, coconut oil, or olive oil wonderfully compliments this green bean puree. Not only will healthy fats bring out the natural nuttiness of green beans, but they also add healthy fats into your baby’s diet.
Fresh or Frozen: Feel free to use fresh or frozen green beans for this recipe.

Other Cooking Methods

While I love the crisp and fresh flavor of steamed green beans, there are several ways you can cook green beans for baby food.

Skillet

Trim the green beans and then add them to a large skillet that has been preheated with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes, add 2 tablespoons of water, cover, and cook for 2 more minutes. Puree in a blender as directed below.

Roasted

If you want the baby puree to have a dense, earthy taste, then roast the green beans instead.

Trim the green beans and then toss with 1-2 tsp of olive or avocado oil on a baking sheet. Cook 425 degrees F for 18-20 minutes, tossing halfway through baking time or until tender when pricked with a fork. Puree in a blender as directed below.

Frequently Asked Questions

When can baby eat green beans?

Babies can have green beans as one of their first foods. When a baby can start on solids is determined by their own rate of development, which generally comes between 4-6 months of age. Some of the developmental milestones babies need to reach in order to start solids include: if your baby has solid control of their head and neck, if your baby has doubled in weight, and if your baby is reaching for or opening their mouth when you eat (see my guide here). Before you start baby on purees, you should consult with your pediatrician to make sure your child is developmentally ready.

Can green beans be baby’s first food?

Green beans can 100% be your baby’s first food if you want it to be. It is recommended to wait to introduce the top eight allergen foods to your baby once a few other well-tolerated foods have been introduced, but otherwise, foods can be introduced in any order so choose whatever you are most excited for your baby to have.

Are green beans a common allergen for baby?

No, green beans are not a common allergen, however, as with any food, start with a small portion and be aware of any signs that might be an allergic reaction after introducing it.

Do green beans cause constipation for babies?

Green beans do not usually cause constipation in babies, and may actually help alleviate constipation due to their high fiber content.

Adding Spices

Feel free to add a big pinch of roughly chopped basil, cilantro, mint, parsley, or chives to this puree before blending.

Coconut Oil: Another great addition to this puree is adding 1-2 teaspoons of organic virgin coconut oil. Healthy fats, such as coconut oil, help aid your baby’s brain development and function, repair torn or strained muscles (great for crawlers), and is great for digestion needs.

How to Store Green Bean Puree

Refrigerator

You can store this puree in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Freezer

This puree can be frozen for up to 4 months.

Spoon puree into a freezer storage container. Do not overfill.
Place the lid on the storage container or cover with a piece of saran wrap — label with the date and recipe name.
Place the tray into the freezer and let it freeze completely – preferably overnight.
Pop-out the baby food cubes and place them in a zip-lock baggie or stasher bag. Don’t forget to relabel the baggie or stager bag for future reference.

Need more information on how to store your baby foods? Head over to my Best Baby Food Storage Containers – Plus 6 Tips on Freezing and Thawing post!

Label Tip: Don’t forget to label your purees before you place them in the fridge or freezer with the name of the puree and the date you made it. Take it from me; by the end of the week, you will completely forget what is in your freezer and how long it’s been there. 😉

Green Bean Combination Purees

While Green Bean Baby Food is already tasty by itself, you can also easily mix and match it with other nutrient-dense baby food purees. For a Stage Two puree, give these fun flavor combos a try!

Apples
Broccoli
Quinoa Baby Cereal
Chicken
Pea
Softened Tofu
Yogurt
Mango

Green Beans for Baby-Led Weaning: Green beans are also a great food to serve to your baby whole for baby-led weaning (6+ months) or as a finger food (9+ months). You can always serve baby a combination of purees and finger foods right from the start.

Puree Feeding Tips

Follow your baby’s lead – when feeding purees from a spoon, sometimes there’s a tendency to keep offering bites past the point of your baby being full. Always follow your baby’s cues for when they are done eating. Turning away from the spoon, closing her mouth, or pushing food away are all signs that your baby is finished with the meal.
Try adding a little seasoning or spice to purees – babies like flavor! Or consider changing the temperature of purees from time to time, to slightly warmed or slightly chilled. Varying these aspects adds to the sensory experience!
Throwing spoons is a common phase that all babies go through at one point or another. One of the best ways to handle spoon throwing is to ignore it and keep feeding your baby as usual (with an extra spoon you already have at the table). If your baby ends up also throwing back up spoons #2 AND #3, simply encourage your baby to eat with their hands until they appear to be finished with the meal. ***Give baby plenty of opportunities to practice putting items in and taking items out of containers outside of mealtimes.

Preparation: Step 1

Frozen String Beans Video Recipe

Frozen String Beans Recipe with Step by Step Photos

We will need a packet of frozen string beans and garlic. Proportions, in general, are not very important. String beans practically do not decrease in size during cooking, and therefore you can immediately imagine portions.
Step 2

Dissolve a piece of butter in a frying pan. You can add some olive oil if you like it.
Step 3

We take out green string beans from the freezer and break the pods a little with our hands. Beans do not need to be defrosted or cooked ahead of time. The resulting pods can be immediately sent to the pan.

I immediately cover the pan with a lid and leave it like that for literally 1 minute to defrost.
Step 4

After a minute, I remove the lid and fry on a fire slightly above average for about five minutes. The beans will be bright, green and crispy. If you don't like crispy green beans, then you can cook longer, another five or ten minutes until soft, but the beans will also lose their color.

At this time, finely chop a few cloves of garlic. Many people like it when there is a lot of garlic in the beans, I add one large clove per serving.

Beans can be turned off, finely chopped garlic can be added, mixed and served. Suitable for any meat, you can also serve as an appetizer before the main course.
