👨🍳 Instructions
Peel the peach by scoring a small 'X' on the bottom, dipping it in boiling water for 30 seconds, then moving it to an ice bath; the skin will slip off easily.
Chop the peach into small chunks and steam them for 4–5 minutes until very soft.
Mash the steamed peach chunks thoroughly with a fork, or blend them until smooth.
In a small bowl, mix the pureed peach into the plain, full-fat organic yogurt until well combined.
Serve lukewarm or slightly cool to your baby.
⚠️ Common Mistakes
- ✕
Using low-fat or Greek yogurt that has been sweetened—always ensure the yogurt is plain with no added sugar or flavoring.
- ✕
Leaving pieces of peach skin in the puree, which can be difficult for young babies to swallow and may cause gagging.
🔄 Variations
Tropical Blend: Stir in a teaspoon of mashed mango for an extra vibrant fruit flavor.
Grain Boost: Add a tablespoon of smooth baby oatmeal to increase the fiber and make the meal more filling.
🧊 Storage
- 📦
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. The peach may darken slightly due to oxidation, which is normal.
- 📦
Freezer: You can freeze the peach puree on its own for up to 1 month, but avoid freezing the yogurt mix as it will separate upon thawing.
💡 Chef Tips
Use full-fat yogurt specifically, as infants need the healthy fats for neurological growth and overall energy.
For a more interactive experience, you can serve this with a pre-loaded spoon for your baby to practice bringing food to their mouth.
