Ingredients

  • 3 cups frozen peas
  • ½ cup breast milk

Directions

Step 1
Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add peas, cover, and steam until tender, about 15 minutes.

Step 2
Place peas and breast milk in a blender or food processor; puree until creamy. Strain mixture through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps.

Step 3
Spread pea mixture into an ice cube tray; cover with plastic wrap and freeze until solid, 2 to 3 hours. Transfer frozen cubes to a resealable plastic bag and store in the freezer.

Step 4
To serve, heat cubes in the microwave for about 30 seconds until warm but not hot. Stir thoroughly.

Tips

You can use fresh peas instead of frozen ones if you have them. You can also substitute formula or water for breast milk.
