I am 4 days into purée stage! So far I made a big pot of pinto Beans (dry Beans, half an onion, chicken bullion cube, pepper, garlic and a bit of tabasco plus about 3 cups water) and cooked that sucker for about 4 hours, then strained the beans and puréed it in my blender. Tastes so much better than the standard Protein drink and those beans have much needed potassium to boot. Put a tiny bit of cheese on there and it feels like your having restaurant style refried beans!

I have had that for dinner 3 days in a row now and not sick of it yet.

Then I decided on a whim to just purée some canned Soup I had been drinking the broth from. It was okay, but I get grossed out by the idea of some puréed foods. Like if I know what it is supposed to be pre-purée, I cant eat it... haha! So that idea only made it one meal.

I think I am going to try making some lightened hummus next (love hummus!) and maybe some puréed Cauliflower (there are some great recipes on Pinterest). I had some mashed potatoes today, but those are like a treat for me because of the high carb/low Protein counts.

Also eating Greek yogurt, low fat cottage cheese and sugar free lime Jello. Those all make nice little Snacks.

Good luck! This is a hard one to navigate, but still a billion times better than the liquid phase.
