DIY pureed frozen green beans question

alumsden1

i steamed frozen green beans and pureed them until very smooth in the blender. my baby is 6 mo old. Do I still need to strain them?

You don't ever need to strain them but fresh green beans tend to be a bit stringy and don't puree super smooth. I'd imagine frozen don't have the same gritty texture so you're probably just fine. And even if they are, it's not the end of the world. I used fresh and never strained them and my son still ate them at 5 months with no problems. It's more of a textural thing.

I didn't strain ours and DD ate them....although, it did take her 2-3 times of eating them to get used to the texture. They weren't smooth like the sweet potato and squashes were. But, she eats them without a problem!

Ditto pp - only do it if she doesn't get used to the texture. They will be a little gritty. But we're mean and force DD to deal with it
