Puréed stage diet question/help

[kristennichole 75]

Question if it's purée how the hell are you suppose to chew it? Breakfast- 1 egg white spinach with 1% American cheese lunch - i1/4 cup chicken salad / tuna salad dinner - 1/4 cup Ricotta!

Also can we have store bought hummus? I can't find Fat Free Hummus any where!!

Lisa, depending where you live try a Meijer or whole foods, maybe trader joes, for fat free humus. You probably have to go to a organic store. If it's fat like from an avocado you're fine.

Also, puréed foods are still chewable. I know it seems like a weird thing. I work in a hospital and when people have belly issues or swallowing issues we give them puréed food, it's just like half-chewed already, it's like baby food! I see a lot of people post about it and they are over puréeing it, like a smoothie or straight up liquid. It should be a consistency of oatmeal. It's soft, you you still wanna chew it ya know? It should be a baby food or a little thicker consistency, like you took your plate of food and just mashed it all with your fork. Just find foods you like. Tuna fish & mayo, refried Beans & salsa, egg & avocado salad, oatmeal, mashed potatoes, mashed cauliflower, (those things dont even need to be puréed much at all)
