Best pureed foods

[MestizaBander 43]

If you can handle eggs then maybe you can make deviled eggs, tuna fish, or egg salad. I buy frozen Italian meatballs and bake in marinara sauce and top it with Italian cheese. I eat cheese sticks for a snack. Chili topped with cheese or Wendy's chili. Baked sweet potatoes or refrained Beans topped with cheese.

Day 9, and I'm loving them tacos!

I cooked Beans with chicken and taco seasoning. 2 oz pureed plus 2 oz shredded cheese totals to a meal of 13grams of protein!

Zucchini, Tomato and Onion Soup: This is delicious and low-fat! I'm also in the pureed stage, and this Soup got me through this first week. I have discovered that baking everything first adds a richness and depth that most other methods of cooking (before pureeing) don't offer.

2 zucchini, sliced

1 tomato, sliced

1 onion, sliced

1 small jar basil pesto

1 C non-fat cottage cheese

1/4 C parmesan cheese

Grease a 9x13 pan. Layer the zucchini, tomato and onion. Combine the pesto & cottage cheese and pour onto veggies. Sprinkle parmesan on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Dump all into the Vitamix or blender and puree. Enjoy!

Right after I was allow puréed I went away for my anniversary. I packed some food, but, figured I would eat a lot fish. I spoke to my NUT. We decided to stay with fish, chicken and eggs. Break everything up really well then take small bites and chew. I was able to eat about 4 teaspoons of food. One night I ordered chicken pad Thai plain I had 2 noodles, 3 small bites of chicken and 3 bites of egg. Done! The next night I had a small plate of salmon I smashed the salmon with my fork and put extra sauce on it. I took 5 small bites and stopped as soon as I felt slight pressure in chest a sign my NUT said means your full. I felt full for about 4 hours too. I did notice I salivated more afterwards... What's that about?

When people say they eat chili are they pureeing it? Like ground turkey, Beans, etc cook like normal then just puree it?

That's what I did yesterday - pureed a can of white chicken chili. Still pretty lumpy otherwise, but tasted just the same

After last night's lime chicken, I wanted something different. Tonight was beef cubes cooked down in the crock pot with a packet of onion Soup mix and plenty of Water, then blended. Between what I have in the freezer now and the ingredients for ricotta bake and refried Beans, I think the rest of the puree time is pretty much covered for me. Everything is frozen in 1 ounce increments in foil wrapped ice cube trays.

Love the hummus idea but to eat it straight? I am on puree foods for three weeks, and getting tired of Soup. I love Ricotta cheese, little cinnamon and a pkg of splenda just YUMMMY!

I had chicken salad in the fridge for the hubby. It had pecans raisins and some celery. I pureed the crap out of it. And yummm! I also made some mashed califlower... you can puree just about anything... eat all in moderation

What kind of Beans?

Similar to Jon's recipe above. Favorite recipe from my nut:
High Protein pudding:
16 oz. cottage cheese
1 package sf pudding mix
1 scoop Protein  powder
4 tbsp ff milk
8 oz. ff or sf cool whip
Mix first 4 ingredients in food processor until smooth, then fold in whipped topping. Chill and serve. 20-25 grams of Protein per 1/2 c serving.

I have been making sugar free, fat free Jello chocolate pudding with 8 oz, chocolate premier shake 60grams protein and one cup of cold ff milk, it is very good. I am going to try sugar free f2f vanilla pudding with French vanilla premier shake and 8 oz f2f milk.

pureed cottage chesse isn't "gross". It has the consistencty of Greek yogurt.
For Breakfast, I did pureed cottage cheese with a little vanilla extract, cinnamon, and artificial sweetner. It tastes like a cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting!
Another treat: 16 ounces low-fat cottage cheese pureed with 1 small envelope of sugar free Jello powder - makes four 4 oz. servings. strawberry is my favorite, but any flavor will work.

Sounds like something I'd like to try one I get to puréed
