Baby food - blueberry, beet and banana puree (6 months+)

Since I haven't been working out of the house, I've been experimenting with making Emmy's baby food (she is 6 months old). I bought a little 3-cup food processor and have been trying lots of different things - from simple purees to mixtures. One of my favorites so far is this deep blue concoction, blueberries, beets and banana. Emmy went crazy for it!

What a great color combination that yields a delicious and nutritious meal for baby :) Obviously this is not the amount of blueberries you use!

Ingredients:
1/2-2/3 cup of fresh blueberries
2 ripe bananas
4 cooked and peeled beets

Adjust this amount as you see fit. Emmy is still a young eater, so I did lots of banana so she would for sure eat it. This amount smells like beets, but the taste isn't too strong. 
 
Directions:
1. Boil beets - can take ~30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the beets. Once you take out of water, skins should slide right off.
     - There is a shortcut; sometimes in the produce section you can find peeled and steamed "ready to eat"    beets, like "Melissa's Baby Beets" (http://www.melissas.com/Products/Products/Peeled-Baby-Red-Beets.aspx)
2. If your baby is younger than 9 months, I suggest boiling the blueberries so the puree is smoother. To do this, bring water (~1.5 cups) to a soft boil. Add blueberries and continue to cook on soft boil for ~8 minutes.
3. In your food processor or blender, add blueberries, beets and a whole banana and blend until well pureed.

And of course, you can freeze any you don't plan to feed to baby that day.
