How to offer

Serve immediately or soon after preparation. The healthy fats in avocado support baby's brain development.

Storage

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day (avocado discolors quickly). Freeze for up to 1 month.

Nutrition note

Vitamins B6 and B12, iron, zinc, choline, selenium, and vitamin B3 are just a few of the elements found in chicken that babies require to survive. When taken as a whole, these nutrients support antioxidant functions, provide energy for cells, produce healthy blood, support a keen sense of taste and smell, and improve brain health.
