Pureéd Stage

[RoundedRed 52]

It was heaven to finally start this stage, after just Protein shakes! And then after a day or two I was kind of sick of it... but then I came to actually really enjoy it, lol.

I know rules are protein first, and then veggies - but being that I very strictly measure and portion, and don't ever have a problem getting both in - I have started blending them together. It tastes SO much better to mix the flavors, and I find that the veggies keep the meat more moist - without having to add sauces and such.

Anyone have any recipes they loved for this stage?

I've been trying to fit my meals into what the family's having - like, when it's Spaghetti Night, I throw a chicken breast into the sauce for myself - it cooks so tender it just shreds, and there I have my protein while others eat Pasta. Or - last night was Stuffing, which we make an entire meal out of... saute mirepoix & mushrooms, ground beef, and bite-sized chunks of pork loin, then mix with Stovetop Stuffing and bake. I just kept back some of the sauteed veggies, and left a couple chunks of the pork loin about chop-size, and buried them in the middle of the stuffing. They cooked up SO moist, and then I just dug them out & blended with the veggies, and just a teeny bit of the stuffing. I used exactly what was for dinner that night, and it tasted pretty much the same - just much better suited to my new eating style! And it was just as good today for lunch

You can try parchment baked tilapia fillet blended with fat free mayo or tartar sauce.

You may also try cream of chicken with extra chicken added for more Protein.

I also like pureed tuna (canned) with light mayo.

Good luck
