California Avocado/Rice Cereal Swirl

Prepare the rice cereal according to package directions, using the recommended ratio of cereal to liquid to create a smooth, pourable consistency suitable for baby feeding.

Cut the ripe California avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl, then mash thoroughly with a fork until completely smooth.

Combine the prepared fruit purée with the mashed avocado in a separate bowl and stir gently until well blended and uniform in color.

Divide the cooked rice cereal evenly among four small serving bowls or portions.

Spoon the avocado-fruit mixture onto the surface of each rice cereal portion in a decorative swirl pattern.

Stir gently to partially combine the avocado mixture with the rice cereal, creating a marbled effect if desired, or leave the swirl intact for visual appeal.

Serve immediately at room temperature or slightly warm, ensuring the food is at an appropriate temperature for baby before feeding.
