Baby Brezza One Step Baby Food Maker Review & Giveaway

~~~THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED~~~

Making your own baby food for your little one is one of the best things you can do for them. Jarred baby foods can be expensive, not even to mention they are not fresh and can had additives in them. Just the thought of making baby food may seem daunting and messy to some parents. However, one step baby food maker like the Baby Brezza makes it so fast and simple to whip up a batch of fresh yummy food in no time.

The Baby Brezza is a small steamer and blender that is just the right size for making batches of baby food. This convenient baby food maker will steam then automatically blend the food. Since the Baby Brezza does it all you won't have to dirty up your cooking pots and food processor just to make a small batch of baby food. Your options for recipes are practically limitless for any age of baby or toddler. You can make a simple batch of applesauce for your 6 month old or something more exotic for your toddler with lamb or turkey. The Baby Brezza also makes a Grain Basket insert so you can make fresh cereals for those "perfect first foods" or steamed rice for your older baby.


Our Baby Brezza Experience and a recipe!
I made all of Ethan's baby foods from scratch with organic fruits and veggies. However, sometimes it was a pain to dirty up a couple pots and my food processor when making baby food. Even though my food processor is small it still had a difficult time blending up the food completely smooth which was another negative aspect of making baby food this route.

Baby Brezza sent me one of their one step baby food makers to try out and I couldn't have been more excited! I created my own recipe which turned out super yummy and want to share.

Berrylicious Pears
makes five 1/4 cup servings 

1 cup pealed chopped pears
1/2 cup sliced strawberries
1/4 cup blueberries

Did you know that blueberries are the healthiest berry you can eat? This is a great way to introduce blueberries to your little one especially if you think he/she would not eat them on their own. Make sure to use organic berries since they are sprayed heavily with pesticides and their thin skins can not protect themselves. I keep frozen organic berries on hand at all times for smoothies so I put them frozen directly in the Baby Brezza.

First you fill the bowl with water to the 160ml measurement marked on the front.

Pour the water into the steam chamber lid and close.  

Add your prepared fresh fruits and secure the bowl into the bottom and snap lid into place.

Press the "Steam Only" button until it 15 minutes is lite up. I chose "Steam Only" so I could check to make sure there wasn't too much liquid after steaming and control how much I wanted it blended. Then press the "Start" button and it will begin steaming.

After it steams a timer will go off.

I pressed the "Blend" button until I had the desired consistency. I wanted this to be chunky so I didn't blend for long. You would want to blend longer if it's for a baby or younger toddler.

This recipe was great warm or cold. It's super sweet and so tasty, it's hard to believe there is no added sugar either! Ethan really enjoyed eating it and I doubt any baby wouldn't like it.

Baby Brezza has created a nifty storage cup and tray system to refrigerate or freeze  the baby food batches. It makes it a breeze to store and to reheat and defrost directly in your Baby Brezza when you are ready to serve your little one.

Overall I loved using the Baby Brezza. It made it so much easier to make up a batch of baby food and with no mess! This little machine is going to be getting a lot of use in our house. 

BUY IT! You can purchase the Baby Brezza on their website or at Babies R Us.
