Purée days - how do you get enough protein?

I am so sick of sweet protein shakes. Looking for good ideas during Puree stage and beyond. I do add a scoop of unflavored isopure to my soups but I am afraid that is going to get old too.

I really like some of the protein fortified soups available on here, Bariatric Pal. I still use them to supplement my protein, 4 months out.

Protein pudding is fantastic (I used sugar free vanilla and add on 2)

Also protein mugcakes were and still are my bread and butter

I ate buffalo chicken dip, ricotta bake, pimento cheese and yogurt. Google for recipes. Everything was already soft, so I didn't puree. I just chewed, and chewed.

Just to add to this

You could mix protein shakes with coffee, or pb2. And then they're not gonna be sweet, so much as coffee like or savory

Meaty soups.

Meaty soups with egg whites pureed through them.

Protein additions are not rocket science.

You can have meat? They told me fish only. Can I have meat??? :-O

all plans are different. on my plan, during purees we could have any meat except red meat and chicken breast. I ate ground turkey, ground chicken, and canned chicken, plus I could have eaten tuna. My plan also started purees on day 3.

Thanks.... I will try ground turkey next time I go to the store. 3 days... Weird. I had to wait 2 weeks for pureed food. (yesterday it started). Now that I can, I really don't care about eating.

Thank you. New to the site and did not realize there were recipes.

I realize none of this is rocket science. Did you intend to be snarky? I am looking for help. If I can only eat about 1/4 c of anything - how does 3 or 4 times that quarter of a cup add up to the right amount of protein for the day? My doc is asking for 90g of protein a day for me right now.

Anytime.

I added cheese to eggs, not TONS extra but extra and it was different. I did ricotta bake too, (baritastic recipe section, and get that app if you don't have it, it's great for tracking) I added protein powder, it was my saving grace. Try one that doesn't clump in hot stuff. Protein20 water. I could have any meat I wanted as long as it was pureed, I made "gravy" with cornstarch and homemade bone broth (10 grams protein per cup) it passes quick, even though it feels like forever

I found bone broth, making a gravy out of it is a great idea!

That is why most people still have to supplement their protein, in some way, shakes bars, puddings, something. I think you are making things more difficult if you are trying to get all your protein in with purees.
