peachy berry smoothie

Hi there,
here is another smoothies that I made for my baby. This time I diluted it with water with the ratio 2:1 (2 parts of juice and 1 part of water).

It is very difficult to find organic berries in the area I live so I got  pack of frozen organic berries for my baby and used them in this drink. I am fully aware that these kinds of berries lost some of their goodness while frozen. Nevertheless they're still good and yummy in this smoothie.
All these ingredients separately can be given from 6 months onward, so I believe it is quite safe to give this smoothie to your little one if they are around 8-9 months. (I would still wait a bit before giving complex thick mixes like this one).
For this yumminess you will need:

  • 1 and 1/2 peaches (mine were quite small, so I believe 1 big is enough), although the skin is delicate I still remove it (maybe I shouldn't next time it also has some good nutrients). Cut peaches into quarters and then each piece in halves across.
  • about 2 tbsp organic berry mix (to be more precise I got 4 raspberries, 3 blackberries, 4 red currants and 3 black currants)
  • segments of 2 oranges
Preparation:
Let the berries thaw in a small sieve, then press them through it to extract the juice. Remember to put some bowl under the sieve not to end up with the juice in the sink or a table top. Set aside.
In a blender process peaches and orange segments to smooth consistency. Add berry juice and stir until well mixed.

As I already mentioned I diluted it with some water otherwise you can serve it as it is.
I gave it to my baby in a cup and kept the rest in the fridge (if there is any left) for her to finish it later. She was walking holding her cup and sipping it from times to times. She definitely liked it.

That's all for now...
take care there.
