When I began looking for baby food options for my son once he moved out of the single food purees, I really wanted to incorporate some healthy nutrients for him from leafy greens, in addition to continuing to make his food palatable.  The most effective way of doing this was to integrate those greens into a yummy mixture of super delicious fruits.

Not only is this baby puree yummy and nutritious, it is also incredibly beautiful – making a gorgeous purplish-blue mixture [does this really matter? No, of course not.  But I like marveling at my hard work, and it’s an added bonus that this food mixture ends up being my favorite color].

You might have seen a similar puree which used apples instead of pears - I originally used apples in this puree, but after having several failed attempts with applesauce and other apple-included items, I realized that apples were just too tart for my son.  It didn’t matter what kind of organic apple I chose, he always made one of those super adorable, yet obviously annoyed lemon-faces after each spoonful.  That’s why I decided to swap the apples for pears.  Kaden already eats pears every day at breakfast with his cereal, and since I know he absolutely loves those, this was an easy substitute.  If you know that your child loves apples, go ahead and use those… either way, this puree turns out delicious.
