Puréed food stage options

[katchee 1]

Hello, I am happily going to be in my puréed food stage in a couple days, which is great since I'm getting so tired of broth and the other liquids. Are there any tried and true puréed favorites that can be recommended? I will be in that phase for 2 weeks. Thank you!

Ricotta Bake (http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com/2007/08/pureed-foods.html), fat free refried Beans with cheddar melted on top, greek yogurt with vanilla Protein powder added in, hummus, pimiento cheese, tuna salad / chicken salad (light mayo and/or greek yogurt), mashed avocado (not a lot of Protein but helped me get a little "normal' food in), sugar free chocolate pudding snack with chocolate Protein Powder added in. I will come back if I think of others! Also I think there is a forum on here specifically with pureed food ideas and/or you can search "pureed" and get some more ideas. good luck!

My favorite right now is to get spicy Thai fish from my neighborhood Chinese place (I know, but they do a great Thai fish). That has veggies I can't eat, but if I put it all in a blender, it comes out great, and it doesn't even need rice. Great way to get my veggies without a problem.

I think you could do that with most Chinese dishes.

I cooked up a couple chicken tenderloins in the oven. Seasoned them with salt, pepper and garlic powder and puréed up the cooked chicken with different sauces. Pesto and chicken broth to make it moist. Hoisin sauce and chicken broth. My favorite was a little hoisin sauce, Peanut Butter, chicken broth, and a drop of sriracha!

Also anything in the crockpot is easily puréed! Just find a recipe you like to crockpot and purée up your portion.

If I were to make something like boxed sugar free pudding or a Soup that calls for milk, what is my best option to use? Unsweetened almond milk or 1% or?

@@katchee - I would think fat free would be fine. Check out Fairlife milk if you haven't yet. Readily available in most grocery stores. It is higher Protein and lower sugar.
