Purée ideas

[Brownrek 21]

I started the purée stage of my diet today....everything I tried was disgusting. Anyone have some good meal ideas? Unfortunately I don't like yogurt so that's out.

I go chicken or tuna salad, add few pickles dash of salt pepper onion onion mix, run thru food processor, add mayo til wet, I've also found a product by waldens in the health good section, they have regular mayo, ranch mayo and chipotle mayo, all tasty no carbs calories fat.. All natural.... Potatoe one in a while, and lots of eggs, measure out 1/2 cup and nuke them Yummi

I baked some sweet potatoes, scooped out the inside & ran it through the food processor with some unflavored Protein Powder & a little maple Syrup. Also, cottage cheese run through the food processor with some fruit and maybe a little agave nectar is good.

I couldn't stand the texture of puréed foods, so I moved right to soft foods, with my nutritionist's permission. Started out with soft scrambled eggs, cottage cheese and cream Soups. Plus, I had stews, cooked to a mush, then further mushed with a spoon. sugar-free puddings and applesauce are mainstays (still). As are mashed potatoes with really moist chicken (Boston Market is good for this).

I didn't really like yogurt either, but Greek yogurt has so much Protein that I wanted to make it work. I don't eat sugar, so I find the prepared yogurts obnoxious. I take plain, 0% Greek yogurt, mix in a tbl of sugar-free blueberry preserves, and Splenda and convince myself it's blueberry ice cream.

Good luck!

I didn't think eggs would be considered purée. Figured that would be the soft stage. Tomorrow I will try the chicken salad.< /p>

My favorite was rigatta cheese with a drop of marinara sauce and low fat mozerella on top.

pureed foods make me gag. its a texture thing. except for Soup. so i figure, i'm gonna make a lot of pureed soups!

one thing i do love is roasted and grilled veggies. figure they can be made into a dip type thing with olive oil.

my sheet says soft fish, so i'm gonna try that, cause we do like fish around here! figure i'll cook it in little parchment packets and mash mine a bit with a fork.

refried Beans come to mind too. i'll have to make mine myself though, since gas is an issue for me. refried Beans, little diced veggies on top with greek yogurt and tiny bit o cheese.

i like cottage cheese all different ways, sweet, savory... blame my mom, beng gluten free in the 60-70s was not easy!

when i was nursing, i made a supercharged rice pudding with no added sugar. it was mochi (short grain) brown rice, milk and eggs. you can make this with any kind of milk beverage you like. i wonder if that would work, though i know some people dont eat carbs... my nut sheets say 1-3 whole grain products a day.

I couldn't stand purée so my nut and I agreed that since I had never had any complications, nausea or vomiting, I could move to really soft mushy foods. I was big into stews and things like chowder. Cooked really, really well with lots of liquid. They went down easy. I still eat these even 9 weeks out, when my tummy gets a little upset from "regular" food.< /p>

If you like buffalo wings..... puree some canned chicken with a "triangle" of laughing cow light bleu cheese and a few drops of hot wing sauce. I can't say I've tried it, but it's on my plan for when I can have pureed foods. Also, I think Hummus is classified as pureed. Also, grilled cauliflower, pureed with a "triangle" of Laughing Cow Queso Fresco Chipotle cheese. Since I'm on "full liquids" this week, I've blended a can of Progresso Southwestern Chicken Soup with Veggies. It's 120 calories for the whole can. You can use it for several meals. Just add some unflavored Protein powder and cayenne pepper. I really like spicy foods. I hope I'll be able to tolerate them after surgery.

watch out for the sodium in canned products. it can be ver very high. also, a lot of the additives in canned/processed foods can be really hard on the stomach and GI tract. i would say avaoid them as much as possible. ep canned Soups.< /p>
