Ingredients
- 1/2 cup carrot peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup squash
- 1/2 cup green peas frozen
- 1/2 cup sweet potato peeled and diced
- 1/2 cup apple diced (you can leave the peel on or remove it)
- 1/2 cup pear diced (you can leave the peel on or remove it)
- 1/2 cup green beans trimmed and diced
- 1/2 cup broccoli diced
- 1/2 cup zucchini chopped
- 1/2 cup beets peeled and diced
Instructions
- Pour 1 cup water in the instant pot steel insert. Place a low trivet in the bottom.
- Place 3-4 ramekins (or other oven safe bowls) filled with the diced fruits & veggies on the trivet.
- If there is space, you can repeat with a second layer of trivets. You can also add a separating steamer basket between the 2 layers.
- Close the lid with the vent in sealing position. Press the manual or pressure cook mode on high pressure for 5 minutes. When the Instant Pot beeps, let the pressure release naturally.
- Remove the bowls with fruits/veggies carefully. Puree each food separately to your desired consistency, then refrigerate or freeze.

Notes
- Note: Nutrition facts are for 1 cup of carrots only.
- Some purees are thicker and some thin depending on the water content of the fruit or vegetable. For example, sweet potatoes will render a much thicker puree while pureed zucchini is much thinner and more watery.
- It is best to add the least amount of water needed when pureeing so that you can add breastmilk or formula or water when serving as needed.
- Use a Baby Bullet, small blender, or food processor to blend the veggies and fruits.
- In the fridge: Baby food should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container with a lid. I like to use small glass containers with lids for individual portions. It's easy to see what's inside each container and I can quickly grab a portion of baby food out of the fridge when I'm in a hurry.
- In the freezer: Spoon purees into ice cube trays, then cover and freeze for at least 24 hours. When the baby food is frozen, pop the cubes out of your ice tray and place them into zip lock baggies labeled with the type of food and the date the food was cooked. Frozen baby food will stay fresh for up to 3 months.
