This yummy lunch idea is perfect for kids of all ages, babies, toddlers and older kids, I myself end up sharing some with my little one. Avocado Chicken Salad is as simple as it comes, healthy and delicious! This creamy, nutrient-dense dish combines soft, mashed avocado with finely shredded or pureed cooked chicken, creating a smooth texture that’s easy for babies to eat, it is a great way to introduce chicken puree to your baby or if your transitioning your little one to a little bit of a thicker texture, you should definitely try this one out.  Avocados provide healthy fats essential for brain development, while chicken offers a great source of protein to support growth, along with iron, zinc, choline and more. It's very versatile, you can add it on toast, in a wrap, or for babies serve a little as is, along side some berries and you have yourself a complete, wholesome, easy meal for baby & toddlers to enjoy! Avocado and chicken are a powerhouse combination when it comes to providing essential nutrients for kids. Avocados are rich in healthy monounsaturated fats, which are crucial for brain development and heart health. They also provide fiber, potassium, and vitamins C, E, and K, helping to support digestion, boost the immune system, and promote healthy skin and hair. The creamy texture of avocados makes them easy for kids to enjoy, whether mashed, sliced, or added to meals. Chicken is an excellent source of lean protein, which is vital for muscle growth, tissue repair, and overall development in children. It also provides important nutrients like B vitamins (especially B6 and B12), which help with energy production and brain function. Together, avocado and chicken create a well-balanced meal that delivers both the healthy fats and proteins kids need for steady growth, strong muscles, and brain development, all while being mild in flavor and easy to incorporate into various dishes.

Suggestions:

For 6+ months baby: this is a good way you can introduce chicken to your baby, when pureeing the chicken you can add a little bit of the boiled water to create a smoother texture For 9+ months baby: At this age, I recommend blending the chicken with no water and it will still be a good consistency, just more textured.   Here are a few more easy lunch and breakfasts ideas you can check out: Viral Cottage Cheese Flatbread Avocado Egg Salad Baby's First Falafel Bites
