Homemade Green Bean Baby Food Puree

Can A Baby Eat Green Beans?

My babies were able to eat green beans as soon as they were ready for other solid foods, at around 6 – 7 months of age.

If you are unsure of exactly when to start your own baby on solid foods, I recommend asking your pediatrician.

Can I Use Frozen Green Beans For Baby Food?

Yes you can.

In fact, I used frozen green beans prepared in the Instant Pot to make this homemade green bean baby food.

How Do You Puree Green Beans For Babies?

For this recipe I used a blender to puree the green beans.

I transferred the cooked green beans from the pressure cooker to my blender.  Then I used the blender to blend/pulse the green beans to the desired consistency.

Do Babies Like Green Beans Puree?

Honestly, it just depends.  Some babies love them, and some babies don’t mind spitting them right back out.  (Don’t ask me how I know) 🙂

When it came to my boys, they always would have chosen Sweet Potato Puree or Squash Puree if they could have.

However, I just kept mixing in Green Beans and Green Pea Puree to make sure they were getting a variety of nutrients.

I also wanted to make sure I was exposing them to a variety of new flavors, too!

Homemade Green Bean Baby Food Puree

You won't believe how much money you'll save when you make this easy Homemade Green Bean Baby Food Puree recipe!

Prep Time5 minutes mins

Cook Time4 minutes mins

Total Time9 minutes mins

Servings: 2 cups or Eight 2 oz. Servings

Ingredients

• 14 oz. Bag Frozen Green Beans
• 2 cups Water

Instructions

• Place frozen beans in the bottom of Instant Pot, and pour 1 cup water over beans.
• Select Pressure Cook, Low, and change time to 4 minutes.
• Preheating will begin 10 seconds after settings are selected.
• Once beans are done, do a quick release for the pressure {I like to do a gradual quick release to avoid any messy splatters... basically a quick release of steam in a few gradual nudges}.
• Now transfer your cooked beans to your blender, and discard any excess liquid in the instant pot.
• Pour remaining 1 cup water over beans in blender, and blend or pulse {stirring as necessary}, until you reach your desired consistency.  For an even smoother puree, simply add more water 1 tbsp. at a time.
• Transfer Green Bean Puree to OXO Tot Baby Blocks, pop on the lids, and store in Refrigerator or Freezer.
• When baby is ready to eat, pull one out at a time and allow it to come to room temperature prior to feeding Baby.

Notes

• It will take around 15 minutes for your Instant Pot to initially reach pressure before cooking begins.
• In the refrigerator, store up to 3 days.
• In the freezer, store up to 3 months.

Tips for Making Baby Food from Your Frugal Friends:

Paulette said: “I found it was so much more cost efficient to make my own. Plus, I knew there was no additives, just wholesome goodness. I mashed up large quantities of a single fruit or vegetable and froze. No spices or sugars added, let the palate learn the natural taste. One new food per week so could check for allergies.”

Heidi said: ” I made food for both of my boys…never bought baby food.”

Michele writes: “My girls are 16 & 18 now. I did make all their baby food. I got fresh veggies from relatives that had gardens.”
