Mushies!

[micki91 43]

So I got switched to mushies today and as sad as it is im extremely excited!! I went and bought the magic bullet and got some stuff to mush up and I cant wait...I kinda splurged and went to kfc and got a small mashed potatoes and gravy....not the best choice considering its not that healthy but it was amazing! Andddd ive lost 11 lbs!! Not too much but enough to make this girl a happy camper any suggestions on what you guys have made for your mushy stage? I dont wanna eat the same things all the time and get tired of it! So any ideas would be greatly appreciated

I have been surprised by how much I've liked the Progresso 99% Fat Free Lentil Soup. I use my immersion blender to smoosh it up (technical term..smoosh). I've really enjoyed it. In fact, I need to go smoosh up the new can I bought yesterday...

What exactly is lentil soup?

[SillyAuntDi 1,610]

Lentils are in the legume family...so it's a type of bean.

Oh ok thank you

Lentils are legumes and they are high in Protein -- and delicious! There are black lentils (French), red lentils, brown, green, etc. A great staple to have in the house. Yummy cooked in chicken stock, which also ups the Protein. Saute an onion and some garlic, carrots, etc. -- whatever you like -- and then add the lentils and the Water or stock. Can use salt & pepper or many people love them with curry spices like cumin. Put the lid on and simmer until they are done -- maybe 20 minutes or so. The Progresso lentil Soup is quite delicious also.

Other ideas -- steam a head of cauliflower then cut it up and smoosh thoroughly (yes, great culinary term!) while adding chicken stock to get the consistency you like. Delicious -- like pudding. I like coriander in this.

Smooshed cauliflower made me giggle like a little girl when I ate it last week. I'm going to smoosh some more this week.

I read somewhere someone goes to taco bell and gets a chicken soft taco and a side of refried Beans, smooshes up the refried beans with the guts of the soft taco (throwing away the shell). Supposed to be delicious! Can't wait until I can get to mushies. I have to wait until 10/13...grrr

Hey Debbie i think you read that from lapbandgal. She talked about it alot in her early post surgery.

Oh i lived on chicken salad. Canned chicken pulsed in the food processer mixed with a Greek yogurt/mayo and some sweet relish. I made tons of this in my mushy stage. I still eat it all the toner...i just don't put in food processor any more.
