Protein Bar in Soft Food Phase?

[Arual85 26]

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.

If I never have to see another Protein Drink in my life It'll be too soon! Although I may have to.

I'm eating eggs and chicken and cheese, Beans didn't agree with me nor did the deli turkey. I forgot about yogurt. Maybe I'll try that. Thanks!

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.
