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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
