🧡 Why This Purée Works for Stage 2

• Introduces new flavor combos

• Easy to digest

• Naturally sweet without added sugar

• Smooth, silky texture

• Freezer-friendly for easy meal prep

🍽 Ingredients

• 1 apple (sweet varieties like Gala or Honeycrisp work great)

• 2 zucchini (you can use green & yellow for a fun mix!)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Produce

Peel the apple and zucchini, then slice into even pieces so they cook evenly.

2. Cook Until Soft

Place everything in a small saucepan and add enough water to just cover the fruit and veggies.
Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer until soft (about 8–10 minutes).

3. Purée Until Silky

Transfer to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Add a little of the cooking water, breast milk, or formula to reach your desired consistency.

4. Serve or Store

Cool completely before serving.
Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 days or freeze in silicone trays for up to 3 months.
