How are people with eating celery? I start mushies next week and like to add it in my tuna and chicken salads. The pieces would be very, very small as I would use my food processor to chop it.

I don't have a problem with celery, but you could peal the outside with a veg peeler. that would take a lot of the fiberous stringy stuff off. (But... oh how we need fiber)

again with the above but how are u going to make a salad mushie? blened lettus and tuna is not good tasting so you might want to post pone you salad.

I have no problems with celery. In the beginning I did put it in the mini food processor. Once I started on solids weeks into it, I was able to eat a whole stalk with lite creamcheese on it. Just make sure you chew very very good on this, if its stringy, pull the strings off just to be on the safe side, other than that you should have no problems at all!

Not salad with lettuce. Tuna/Chicken salad from a can of either meat, fat free mayo, and some seasonings.

This is a recipe for Tuna Dressing off of food Network that might appeal to some of you. You can blend it to a thin consistency or leave it a little chunky as you prefer. Outrageously good...

Ingredients

1 (7-ounce) pouch albacore tuna

1/4 cup mayonnaise

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon capers, with their juice

Pinch freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Place all of the ingredients into the bowl of a small food processor and process until creamy, 1 1/2 minutes. Serve as a salad dressing or a dip. Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.

It's on my banned list as well as bananas cause they're too stringy/fibrous.

I eat bananas every day...not sure why they would've been considered too fibrous. Celery I understand, bananas I don't.

I chop my celery very very tiny and I don't have a problem with it. I think that as long as the pieces are small you should be ok!

I eat bananas every day too! no problems at all. Hey here is an idea for those have a hard time with bananas, put a banana in a mini food processor, scoop into a little cup, freeze overnight. You got yourself a healthy frozen treat! You can also get creative with this and add other fruits, yogurts, etc...

I eat cooked celery in my soups all the time. No problems.

I love my celery with some peanut butter. Yum. No problem here.
