Not ready for soft foods yet

Well I blended up some bean with bacon Soup and mixed in 1/2 a scoop of unflavored Protein Powder and started eating. Well as it cooled it got super thick like really thick pudding. I got about 4 spoonfuls in and had to stop. Now my sleeve is not happy with me. I'm going to try it one more time with just a spoonful of powder and if that still gets thick I will have to wait a couple more weeks to use it. Now I need to go rest my poor tummy.

Next time add some Water or broth. The Soup would have thickened as it cooled even without the Protein powder.

Yeah I did use double the Water. It usually does not get that thick. But I will play around with it.

I was told that Protein powder cannot be added to hot liquids because it becomes more solid. My nutritionist recommended not heating it above 130 degrees. Maybe that is why the Soup became so thick...My doctors PA told me to mix protein powder with cold liquid then try adding it to the warm liquid and see if it makes a difference. I have not tried this yet but maybe it will help...
