Mushy Pureed Stage- Mashed Ranch Cauliflower



Recommended Posts

1 head cauliflower

1/4 c. skim milk

Hidden Ranch dry ranch powder (like for making dip) to taste

pepper

1 pk Swanson flavor boost

Chop & wash cauliflower. Boil Water with 1 pk swanson flavor boost and cook cauliflower until tender. Drain and put back into pot on low to cook out moisture and add skim, ranch powder, and pepper. I used the back of a big spoon which got it kinda mashed but my immersion blender made it very smooth like mashed potatoes.

I didn't know if it would taste good without the added fat (cheese, butter) but they were freakin' awesome. It was my last meal since I have 3 days of liquid before my big day. Enjoy!

I make mashed cauliflower, too. I boil it until its falling apart. I use smart balance, cream cheese and cheddar cheese to mix with it. Then I put more cheddar cheese on top and stick it in the oven to brown it a bit. DELICIOUS.

I'm going to have to try yours, too - I love ranch.

Swanson flavor boost are tear packets of chicken stock and located near the chicken broth at my grocery store. I bought it to add to Water for chicken broth (ew) but it's good mixed in with veggies to give them some flavor.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
