Rice?

[Jessibird 32]

Can I puree chicken and rice? I know it's not healthy to eat much rice but I am in the puree phase and just the pureed meat is so gross to me. I think if I added some rice it would go down better.

Instead of rice, try avocado, or make chicken salad with mayo and some dill relish. The rice will bloat your stomach and you won't have enough room for the Protein. Maybe chicken broth and well cooked carrots to get a Soup flavor?

I'm in the purée stage also. chicken or beef broth is what I have been adding to help with flavor and moistness to the food. Also doing tuna, mayo and dill relish as a change to things. If you have to use rice go with the brown whole grain type. Also done canned chicken. Good luck!

No problem! There are some awesome purée recipes in the food and nutrition forum. It's been my lifeline haha

_{If you sprinkle DRY Hidden Valley Ranch dressing on most food, it makes it delicious! I loved it on canned tuna, chicken and cottage cheese. Not the liquid dressing but the packet of dry mix.}
