Sweet Mango Banana Puree
Mango Banana Puree: Whip up this vibrant, naturally sweet, 2-ingredient puree in minutes. Perfect for babies or a healthy, refreshing snack.
Ingredients
- 1 mango, cut into chunks
- 1 banana
- 1/4 cup water (optional, for desired consistency)
- 1/2 teaspoon lime juice (optional, for freshness)
- pinch ground ginger (optional, for spice)
- 1 tablespoon shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the mango chunks and banana into a food processor.
- Puree until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- If the puree is too thick, add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached.
- For an extra zing, blend in lime juice and a pinch of ground ginger.
Notes
- Choose ripe mangoes and bananas: The riper the fruit, the sweeter and smoother your mango banana puree will be. Look for mangoes that yield slightly to pressure and bananas with small brown spots.
- Adjust consistency: If your puree is too thick, add a tablespoon of water, breast milk, or formula at a time until it reaches your desired smoothness. For a thinner smoothie-like consistency, more liquid can be added.
- Freeze for later: Portion any leftover mango banana puree into ice cube trays and freeze. Once solid, transfer the cubes to a freezer-safe bag. Thaw in the refrigerator as needed for quick servings. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
