I think so as long as you get it mushy. I'm not really a cold Cereal person. I've had grits and I've have oatmeal.< /p>

I did make up some ricotta like I was going to stuff shells with Tomato sauce, and Italian seasoning then baked it with a tiny bit of shredded cheese. It was really good and I didnt miss the shells at all.

Is anyone adding unflavored Protein Powder to their eggs? If so, how are y'all doing it?

I add greek yogurt and a bit of shredded cheese. I stir it all with a whisk and then cook over low heat or in the microwave, stirring frequently. If you cook in the microwave you have to undercook and allow for carry over cooking.

Nice. Thanks!

I I figured I would share these yummy recipes from my doc for puréed foods! ????

I also started puree foods today! I did 1/4C of refried Beans with 1 TBS cheddar cheese. I pureed it then heated it up in the microwave and topped it with 1 TSP Greek yogurt. Can I just say it was heavenly? It was so yummy!

Tomorrow I'm going to poach an egg for Breakfast and have tuna salad pureed for lunch! I'm so excited lol

I was so excited when I finally made it to this phase! One of my favorite, go to meals during that phase and one that I actually still use is a ricotta bake. Soooo yummy and so simple!

I made it a head of time so I had some always ready to just pop into the microwave to reheat. I think I might have cut the portions in half too.

Lots of luck!

I am in the pureed stage for about a week and finding it difficult. Pureed food was making me ill to look at it and the texture was gross. I went off puree tonight and cut up chicken and steamed broccoli into miniscule pieces. I listened to my stomach and stopped eating when I felt full. I didnt have any problems with it feeling stuck or anything. I worry that I won't lose because I'm moving ahead in the process. I'm still making smart food choices but dont understand why I have to puree if my body accepts whole foods. Comments?

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

See how it goes. As long as you don't get sick it's between you and your doctor.

Thanks everyone for those yummy ideas! Can't wait for next week to try some out! Has anyone used unflavored Protein powder mixed in with purées? I saw a brand Unjury makes a kind I guess you can add. Any thoughts on that?

[BLERDgirl 6,417]

I did Prosource no carb unflavored and orange flavored. I mixed them in herbal teas or in my Soups.< /p>
