1. Slice the avocado in half lengthways, and twist to separate the two halves. Carefully remove the stone with the tip of a knife.
2. Scoop the avocado flesh from the skin using a dessert spoon. Place in a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher.
3. Finely chop the mint and mix into the mashed avocado. For newly weaned babies, puree until smooth if preferred.
