Post op puree

[socalfosh 17]

I just broiled 8oz of cauliflower seasoned with olive oil, s&p, and a sprinkle of parm. Then blended it with a dash of milk and veg stock. It's quite delicious.

That sounds amazing! If you put in a bit of shrimp or chicken and cook it with that and include in the puree, maybe it will sub for one of your Protein Shakes? I really enjoyed blending meat and veg together as a savory way to get my Protein post op.

Good idea! I also have some unflavored Protein Powder from Unjury I should add to it. I forgot I had that. (I dont care for it in my water....I should add it to soups)

Yes that would work! Just be sure to not put into really hot Soup and it should be good. Enjoy

I started the puree stage on Saturday and tried microwaving oatmeal with Protein powder and it was disgusting. I had to throw it out, yucka. Is there a trick to adding Protein Powder to hot foods?

Protein will coagulate at 140 degrees - that probably is what made it so nasty. Keep your food/beverages under 140 when mixing Protein Powder in.

Ah, that makes sense. Never again will I cook Protein powder lol.

I always mix it with a tiny bit of Water or cool broth in a Blender Bottle. Then add it to whatever I'm making after cooling to 140 degrees. I end up drinking a lot of lukewarm Soup, but never had issues with texture.
