Juicy, tropical mango and banana are gentle on little tummies, making them popular first foods. Pick out ripe, fragrant fruits for this fresh blend. You can make a only banana or only mango puree, depending on your preference.
Both fruits make great additions to vegetable purees to sweeten them up a little, or to stir into plain yogurt.
