Protein Bar in Soft Food Phase?

Has anyone tried Atkins protein meal bars (or any other bar) while in the soft food stage? Obviously chewed to a puree.

I'm having a hard time getting in all my protein and I actually like those bars. Just wondering. Thanks!

Could you just drink a protein shake instead? Or a yogurt? Or add protein powder to soup? I don't start soft food till tomorrow, but those are pretty hard! I'm sure you're pretty sick of protein drinks and yogurt (I sure am!), but what I think things like tuna and deli meat have more protein than the atkins bars. I love the S'mores ones myself!

I wouldn’t recommend Atkins, the ingredients aren’t that great and they’re often very high in fat and sugar alcohols.

I did Built bars (ones without nuts) during the soft food phase without issue. Quest bars would work as well but they tend to have more sugar alcohols.

You can also try fish and ground turkey/chicken/beef. Those are soft, per my plan. Good luck! I can't wait to try some solid food tomorrow!

And... have you tried using protein shake in your coffee? (If you drink coffee). I mix 5.5 oz (half a protein shake) with about 11 oz of iced coffee and it tastes pretty good.
