Partyfood ideas that qualify as purée food!

Ok I was sleeved 12/14 and on 12/30 I am hosting a get together with my four BFFs. Two besties do know about my surgery. Two do not. I want to make at least one dish I could also nibble on. It doesn't need to be high Protein just purée consistency, not too high calorie and yummy enough that my guest would also like it. Maybe a dip or casserole? Any ideas?

I am a dip fan. You could do a Greek yogurt and/or cottage cheese based dip. Hummus is also really good. Even a baked cheese dip might be a good consistency. The ricotta bake and/or a layer refried bean dip also might be a good idea.

I happen to be one of those people who have no problem eating dip with a spoon!

Yup solo dip would be fine. No plans on trying a cracker!

Hummus

Guacamole

Black bean dip

Spinach dip

Taco dip (minus the meat and chopped veggies) -- A layer of refried Beans, layer of cheese, layer of sour cream and repeat.

I had a holiday potluck to go to 1 month post-op and made a 5 layer bean dip to bring. I thinned out the refried Beans with veggie broth and added shredded cheese, mild salsa, sour cream and home-made guacamole for the layers. I bright tortilla chips for others and nobody seemed to notice that I just scooped a little for myself and ate with a spoon.

I've been making this bean dip during my puréed stage and it's delicious! I've used MUCH less sour cream and cream cheese though, it really doesn't need it. The light sour cream and cream cheese work just fine.

When I make it for myself I even mix some unflavored Protein in for a little added bonus.

Thanks for all the great ideas! One of the responses gave the idea of doing a skinny version of my hot Maryland crab dip. Just pass on the crackers.
