Avocado Spears with a Hint of Lemon
A simple and creamy first finger food. High in healthy omega-3 fats for brain growth, these avocado spears are easy to grip and naturally soft for babies just starting their solid food journey.
Ingredients
- 0.5 piece Avocado
- 1 squeeze Fresh Lemon
Instructions
- Select a ripe avocado (it should give slightly when pressed but not feel mushy).
- Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and peel off the skin.
- Cut the avocado into long, thick spears (about the width and length of an adult finger).
- Lightly squeeze a few drops of fresh lemon juice over the spears to prevent browning and add a boost of Vitamin C.
- Optional Grip Tip: If the avocado is very slippery, roll the spears in a little bit of infant cereal, hemp seeds, or crushed toasted breadcrumbs to make them easier for your baby to hold.
- Serve 1-2 spears at a time directly on the highchair tray to encourage self-feeding.
