Grey rows are pantry staples: salt, oil, spices. They are not counted in the serving price.

Method

Wash the banana¹, peel it, and cut it into 1 cm pieces.
Mash the banana¹ with a fork until soft, or leave it in pieces if you prefer.
Serve immediately in a bowl; if needed, thin with a small amount of water or breast milk to reach the desired consistency.

Tips

Why it works: Cut into 1 cm pieces so they’re easy for babies to pick up and dissolve quickly in their mouths.
Substitutions: Use ripe plantains instead of bananas; they’re slightly firmer but still soften easily when mashed.
Common mistakes: Over-mashing turns it into a gluey paste. Stop when it’s just broken up, not smooth.
Storing and reheating: Eat fresh; bananas brown and lose texture within 24 hours. Freeze mashed banana for up to 1 month.
Serve with: Pair with a few drops of plain yogurt to add protein and cool the sweetness.

In short

A child's portion for ages 1–3; suitable from 8 months. For younger kids, halve it and purée.
