BANANA BABY FOOD - 8 WAYS!

Steps:

• Place the banana into a blender or food processor and puree until smooth and creamy, roughly 60-90 seconds, scraping down sides if needed. If the puree is too thick, add in some liquid (breastmilk, formula or water) in tablespoon increments until you have your desired consistency. If you want to freeze the puree, add a small squeeze of lemon juice into the puree to help keep it from browning.
• On a cutting board, mash a banana. In a small bowl, add the mashed banana to the made baby cereal. Add a pinch of cinnamon to the top and serve.
• Place the banana on a cutting board and mash with the back of a fork until mixed but yet still chunky. Spoon into a baby bowl and serve.
• Peel half of a banana and using your fingernails, break the banana into chunks along the seem of the banana. It should easily break into chunks
• Cut a 4-5 inch section of banana off from the top. Cut off the peel, leaving roughly 1-2 inches of exposed banana. Do not cut all the way through the banana, just the peel. Then you can remove the peel away and hand the stem of the banana to baby.
• Cut a banana into strips and roll them in a little bit of topping of your liking.
• Place banana, ice cubes and liquid into a blender. Add in cinnamon and nut butter, if using. Blend for 60 seconds and serve. If the smoothie is too thick, add in additional liquid as you don't want it too thick or baby might have a hard time drinking it.
• In a medium bowl mix together mashed banana, an egg, whole wheat flour and cinnamon. In a large non-stick skillet preheated on medium heat, pour 1/8 cup of batter into the skillet. Let cook roughly 3 minutes on the first side, flip and cook for 2 more minutes or until golden brown.

CHOCOLATE BANANA NICE CREAM

Steps:

• 1. Place all of the ingredients in a blender.
• 2. Puree on a medium setting for 15-20 seconds, using the tamper of your blender to push down or stopping to push down with a spatula. You can this to be a fast process so the ice cream doesn't melt. 3. Scrape down the sides and puree again. Repeat the process until the mixture is smooth like frozen yogurt/ice cream.** Sprinkle with favorite toppings! ***4. Serve.***** Here's a great way to freeze bananas! Place them in a Ziploc bag (make sure to lay the slices out flat in the bag when you freeze so they don't stick together) and leave them in the freezer so you can always make this treat on a moment’s notice.** Use the lowest setting to puree to avoid the ice cream from getting too loose and so it has more of a true ice cream texture.*** You can top with granola, hemp seeds, sprinkles, berries, chopped nuts, dye free chocolate candies and more.
• **** To make nice cream even more firm, place in a pyrex or baking dish and freeze for up to 3 hours to resemble ice cream.
