Equipment

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup frozen green peas (thawed)
  • 1 small avocado
  • 1 hard boiled egg
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • olive oil (optional)

Instructions 

  • In a mini food chopper or processor combine the peas, avocado, and hard-boiled egg.
  • Pulse until you reach your desired texture—smooth for younger babies, or leave it a little chunky for older babies and toddlers.
  • Add lemon juice and olive oil if using, and pulse once or twice more to combine.

Notes

  • No need to cook peas: Frozen peas are already blanched. Just thaw and use for toddlers and adults. For younger babies or a softer texture, steam or boil briefly.
  • Use ripe avocado: Soft, ripe avocado makes the mash creamy and smooth.
  • Adjust texture: Blend until smooth for younger babies, or keep it a little chunky for older babies and toddlers.
  • Add flavor: A splash of olive oil and lemon juice brings extra richness and brightness—great for older kids and adults.
