if you make your own baby food...quick question

Can you freeze mashed up bananas or avacados.  I would like to make a bunch, but don't want it to go to waste.
What do you do?

    I have frozen banana before, it changes color and maybe texture a little, but it's fine.  Never frozen avocado, I imagine it would also change color.  The fat in it might make it separate though.  You probably won't need to freeze banana for long; once your lo gets more into solids, you can start mashing fresh banana with a fork and just give it to them.  HTH!

    I concur, mashing a banana with a fork is easier. I just mash a little banana and put the rest of the banana in a bag for the next day, or for my cereal. I know that restaurants have frozen avocado that they use for guacamole and stuff, (my parents own a restaurant). Not sure if their is a special process that would be best. But I might think adding a little lime to it before you freeze it might help!

    okay cool, so how much is one banana typically?  1 tbsp or 2?

    I find that avocado freezes best in slices and then I just thaw and mash up when needed. Then I just use BM to thin it out. Bananas I just mash with a fork as needed. wholesomebabyfood.com is a great resource for how to freeze and store homemade baby food. Have fun!

    I freeze bananas in slices for the mesh feeder- I give it to DS when I notice he's teething.  I actually keep the peel on and peel the slice right before I use it- not sure if that helps.

    I don't know about avacado.

    I froze some avocado and when I put it out to thaw it turned brown pretty quickly. Will probably just make that fresh from now on.

    I've heard avocado may freeze easier in slices as opposed to mashed up.  Plus adding a couple drops of lemon or lime juice (it's not enough acid to hurt baby's tummy I've heard) helps to keep it from browning.

    www.wholesomebabyfoods.com has a lot of great info on freezing foods, how to do it, and which ones freeze best and which ones don't
