First guacamole
6 months+Ripe avocado and a squeeze of lime. The mild version the guide means.
Ingredients
- • 1 Ripe avocado
- • a small squeeze Lime
Good to know
Store-bought guacamole is often salty and can carry onion, garlic, and chili, which is why the homemade one is this plain.
Lime is gentle in this amount; skip it if it bothers your baby's skin around the mouth.
Press plastic wrap onto the surface to slow browning; best the same day.
No added salt (a baby's kidneys can only handle a little), no added sugar before age 2, and no honey before age 1 (it can carry a botulism risk). More on salt, sugar, and honey.
Instructions
- Halve a ripe avocado, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
- Mash with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a little soft texture.
- Stir in a small squeeze of lime.
- Serve as a soft spread on toast strips, or straight from a preloaded spoon.
