Purée days - how do you get enough protein?

If I can only eat about 1/4 c of anything - how does 3 or 4 times that quarter of a cup add up to the right amount of Protein for the day? My doc is asking for 90g of Protein a day for me right now.

That is why most people still have to supplement their protein, in some way, shakes bars, puddings, something. I think you are making things more difficult if you are trying to get all your protein in with purees.

Protein pudding is fantastic (I used sugar free vanilla and add on 2)

Also Protein mugcakes were and still are my bread and butter

What are mug cakes?

Basically Protein Powder baking powder and some kind of milk put into a mug put in a microwave. Where it turns into a cake in a cup sort of. There's tons of different recipes , and a bunch of threads in here.

Personally I use a scoop of Syntrax matrix, 2 tablespoons coconut flour and a teaspoon of baking powder. Then jsut enough milk to make it thick, and nuke for around 30 seconds. It's a creative way to eat Protein powder and have a healthy protein cakey treat.

Honestly it's been a game changer for me. I find it more filling than shakes, more enjoyable because I can eat it, and honestly most of the time it's like a treat despite it effectively being a cup of protein powder
