A silky, single-serve puree blending the creamy sweetness of banana with the bright, tangy notes of apple and pear. Its texture is exceptionally smooth, designed for tiny palates, with a naturally sweet flavor profile derived entirely from the fruit. Nutritionally, it's a concentrated source of quick-release carbohydrates for energy, with minimal protein or fat.

↓ Full nutrition💚 Why it's loved
Parents love it as a reliable, nutrient-dense first food that introduces a trio of familiar flavors without added sugars. Its smooth consistency makes it a mess-free, on-the-go option that babies often accept readily.
⚠️ Watch-outs & how to enjoy it better
The high natural sugar content (12.76g per 100g) can cause rapid blood sugar spikes, especially if consumed alone. To counteract this, always serve it alongside a source of protein or fat, like a spoonful of full-fat yogurt or a small piece of cheese, to slow sugar absorption. It's also a common allergen risk for infants; introduce banana, apple, and pear separately first to check for reactions.
Key benefits
- Provides quick, easily digestible energy from natural fruit sugars
- Contains dietary fiber to support healthy digestion
- Offers a convenient way to introduce multiple fruit flavors
- No added sugars, salts, or preservatives
- A good source of potassium from the banana component

💡 Did you know?
This specific combination is a classic 'starter blend' because banana provides a creamy base that helps mask the slightly more astringent tannins found in some varieties of apple and pear.

FAQ
Can I mix this with breast milk or formula?
Yes, you can thin it to a desired consistency with breast milk, formula, or a little water. This can also help baby transition to new flavors.
Is the sugar content too high?
The sugar is naturally occurring from the fruit, not added. However, for balanced nutrition, serve it with protein/fat and as part of a varied diet, not as the sole food.
At what age can I introduce this?
Typically around 6 months, once baby has started solids. Always introduce the individual fruits (banana, apple, pear) separately first to rule out allergies.
