Craving chips and salsa/avocado

[meganliz0824 65]

Ok so I am 4 weeks post op and I have this ridiclious craving for chips and salsa or avocado slices. I know I'm not allowed chips so I need suggestions as to what else to dip or how I can satisfy that craving. I'm on soft foods.

You could make cheese chips. I use a baking mat to melt cheese in the oven until it's crispy and brown around the edges. I personally love Colby jack the most but you should try out different kinds.

Hi. I used melba toast as a vehicle for most things...it melts in your mouth nicley. ☺

Oh that looks good. Do you think parchment paper would work? Also how long do you cook them or just watch them melt a bit and get crispy?

I eat salsa on lots of things. Refried Beans, scrambled egg, turkey burger, and even cottage cheese.< /p>

I make my own guacamole and serve it on my plate with a hamburger patty, roast chicken or turkey, or ham and cheese roll-ups.

You can spray mountain bread with a little olive oil spray then bake for 5 minutes then break it apart

if you're on soft food you can still have the avocado and salsa. I would use a slice of cucumber to dip with

I do a bean bowl. ¼ cup black Beans, salsa, shredded cheese, dice avocado. You can up the Protein by adding dollop of greak yogurt instead of cream cheese. Everything else is allowed on a soft diet and give you Protein plus Fiber.

As you progress to all foods cucumber and baked cheese chips are good alternative. I even read that some people bake pepperoni slices.

I'm sure parchment paper would work as well. And I just bake until they look a bit brown around the edges. The more you do it the more you'll know exactly when to take them out.

How in the world is melba toast or parchment paper better than chips?

Try eggs and salsa. I had the same craving 4 weeks out.
