Can You Blend Anything?

[wannabeeskinny 10]

Hi guys, just wondering if you blend something into a liquid/purée form, does it still taste the same?

Nope, you have to put liquid in it to puree so the taste changes. But, my taste buds changed a lot during those first few months so almost everything was new.

Just my opinion, but it tastes different to me. The flavors are kind of...diluted and not distinct. Kind of mushy-tasting, even if it is supposed to be spicy. I am thinking in particular of Vietnamese noodle Soup, which I blended early out. It didn't taste anything like the soup un-blended.

Thanks! I'm really wanting something with a "shrimp taste", I bought a can of cream of shrimp, but that tasted nothing like shrimp to me.

I would atleast make sure the Alfredo is fat free and u use wheat Pasta. But I was told no pasta

I love pho!! I'm in the pureed stage and hadn't thought about puree the noodles but have thought about just getting the broth.

I boiled some shrimp, then blended it (about two cups) with about .5 cups of sour cream and about 2 Tbl. of cocktail sauce and 2 Tbl bread & butter Jalapenos. It was about the consistancy of a cracker spread and tasted very good.

And did you just eat that plain or you put it in a cracker?

Just have the broth. Noodles still are iffy with me 18 months out.

I blended a lot of stuff early on and ate it on cucumber slices as opposed to crackers (or you can wrap up in lettuce leaves)--just be careful if you're still early that the seeds and/or ribs of the lettuce might be difficult to handle. You can also use the blended stuff as part of a filling for baked mushrooms or squash pieces. Yum!
