“Love, love, love!! This is definitely my daughter’s favorite recipe out of all the ones listed on this blog, stage one and stage two. She loved this mango purée so much, I added it to foods she wouldn’t eat, like peas, and she ended up eating it. Highly recommend! This puree is the best. ” -Holly

Looking for an easy recipe for your baby that will feature the delicious taste of Mangos?

Then, I’ve got you!

I’m not sure if this was a proud moment for me, but the first time I made this recipe, I ate the ENTIRE batch! By myself! Baby Ellie was napping, so I whipped up this recipe for her afternoon snack. When I tasted the first bite, I couldn’t stop spooning this delicious puree right into my mouth. I ate the entire batch, standing at my counter while staring out the window. I was in mango heaven.

Realizing what I had done, I quickly blended up another batch, and when Ellie woke up, I served her a small bowl of this puree. And to no one’s surprise, she also took one bite before demanding that I feed her (very quickly) the rest of the bowl.

Since then, this puree has been my babies’ go-to recipe.

They loved it both plain or mixed in with some other veggies they needed more time to warm up to – I’m looking at you, broccoli and cauliflower. But when mixed with this mango puree, my kiddos licked the puree right up.

To make this puree super-duper creamy, we are going to add a ripe banana and a pinch of nutmeg. The banana mellows out the citrus taste of mango and makes it one of the yummiest combos out there. The nutmeg balances the mango out, but I also use cinnamon half of the time. Combine the soft texture of both ripe fruits, and you’ll get a creamy, appetizing puree.

  • Serve to baby or freeze for later.

Notes

Additional Add-Ins: You can also add in a handful of raspberries, a spoonful of full-fat plain Greek yogurt, a splash of canned coconut milk or even a 1/4 cup of chopped spinach to this recipe for more delicious meal options.
