how gross is pureed meat? i mean if i make tuna salad and puree it, what should i use to moisten it ff mayo? or do i need to add some sort of broth? sounds sooo gross to me, so iwas planning on sticking to cheese,etc...but i really want meat,,,,will it end up as applesause consistency or thicker?

I am in the mushy stage right now. I have pureed some tuna with a bit of light mayo and sweet pickle relish. It's ok. But I also hate the thought of pureed meat. I bought some liver paste (braunschweiger) but haven't opened it. To be honest, I've preferred to get my Protein from cheese (Laughing Cow light swiss cheese wedges - only 35 cal and 2.5 g protein!), refried Beans (pureed and heated, topped with pureed mild salsa and a few shreds of cheddar cheese - it's like eating an appetizer without the chips), and yogurt. I use sugar free vanilla yogurt with just a dab of strawberry jam. It's like a fruit parfait. I still use Protein shakes once a day too, primarily in the morning.

You are right. Pureed meat is gross. When my kids were babies, I tried to give them baby food meat and they absolutely hated it. What was I thinking!?

You can run chili through the blender. Then it is smooth. I know it sounds gross, but it's not bad. I did that with soups too. Any soup run through the blender will be thicker and smooth, but have some meat flavor. It doesn't taste the same, but just a thought.........

I added 1 boiled egg to my tuna and put in my magic bullet, it actually was pretty good. I even put chottage cheese thru my magic bullet. My favorite though is charlies roast beef from the walmart deli with a tbsp of ff mayo and a touch of milk, warm or cold it was good.

I have been afraid to try beef or chili with beef. I have heard so many people say they can't tolerate it.

wendy's chili is my main stay--cheap/good/goes down/stays down!! have lost 100lbs--and was in Florida all winter!! am so amazed...never been on vacation and lost weight(30lbs) nsv's--had to mov the car seat up in order to push in the clutch/bought smaller sized shoes/bought summer clothes at the goodwill! OMG soooooo happy!! another 70lbs to goal!! thank god for chili!!

I tried the magic bulleted meat and could never do it. I remember getting Chipotle and whizzing up the meat, cheese, sour cream and Beans thinking - surely it will taste the exact same as when I chew it. But I was wrong. It was nasty and I couldn't force down more than a few bites.

I didn't have a puree stage. If I did, I think I would have just avoided meat, or gone with meats that are already pureed like patees or braunschweiger or something. Or I would have sampled some baby foods. The idea of taking regular foods and just whizzing them never worked for me.

Try a can of turkey chili, add a bit of broth then blend it up... looks weird but tastes like chili.
