They don't need beans. Really! Bananas and avocados are complete proteins. Look it up. Beans are hard to digest. I am not suggesting that you need never give them to children but babies can live on mother's milk so why not fresh fruit?

Of course all types. But why not just give them fresh? right on maude... Jan 2012 #5

That's the point of making your own. Use fresh when it is in season, keep it all winter. HopeHoops Jan 2012 #6
