One of my most favorite things to do for my children when they are babies is to make their baby food. I love shopping for the produce and I love preparing it. I choose high quality, organic, fresh produce and I usually make large batches and freeze it. All of this is a huge process however, with a lot of cleanup afterwards.
Sometimes a big production is not necessary and that is when the Freshfoods Mash & Serve bowl comes in perfectly handy. With this handy dandy tool, I will be able to quickly prepare snacks and meals that will not keep (like bananas for example). The bowl is ergonomically shaped and super easy to use. The grooves inside the bowl help to keep the food inside the bowl and not slip sliding all over the place. I loved that the masher had a good grip handle and was made of sturdy plastic. It is also easy to clean and is microwave safe! Perfect for trips to grandma’s house!
For the purpose of this review, I quickly mashed up some pears and blueberries to give to my 2 year old daughter. She wasn’t into it, but I wasn’t expecting her to be. The baby on the other hand, will love the steamed carrots and mashed sweet potatoes I’ll make him in a few months. 🙂
The Freshfoods Mach & Serve Bowl is made by NUK, a mom trusted company for over 50 years. NUK is the leader in convenient, reliable and usable baby products. Freshfoods by NUK is made specifically for fresh feeding for a healthy baby and is designed by Annabel Karmel.

Shannon Bradley-Colleary says
My kids eat great, but I should probably start doing this for myself, rather than mainlining chocolate.
Sharlene says
I would probably just turn this into a guacamole maker. Avocado smash!

I actually used this with my daughter when she was a baby. No babies here but I’d donate it to a friend if I won : )
pattie says
So cute! What a great way to mash up food. I had to use a blender!
My babies’ favorite food was hummus.
