Starting purees is great! After the liquid diet, it's nice to be able to eat something resembling real food. You should mix Protein Powder into purees to make sure you meet your Protein goal. My advice for that is to use flavored protein powder for sweet foods and unflavored protein powder for savory foods. Here's what I ate in the pureed stage:

• Fat-free, no sugar added Greek yogurt (vanilla yogurt + birthday cake protein powder; vanilla yogurt + chocolate protein powder + powdered peanut butter; strawberry yogurt + strawberry protein powder, etc.)
• Fat-free, sugar-free pudding (chocolate pudding + chocolate protein powder + powdered peanut butter; vanilla pudding + strawberry protein powder, etc.)
• Unsweetened applesauce + cinnamon roll protein powder
• Protein oatmeal + cinnamon roll protein powder
• Pureed refried Beans + unflavored protein powder, topped with enchilada sauce + Laughing Cow cheese
• Pureed black bean Soup + unflavored protein powder
• Mashed cauliflower + unflavored protein powder, topped with gravy

Many thanks

Im trying to find a good unflavoured protein. The problem with the flavoured is they come in such HUGE tubs!!! but Im tempted by some of your suggestions.

Yeah, I've been wondering why protein powders are only available in tubs with 20-30 servings. There are very few products where the normal size has that many servings in a package. Most ready-to-drink Protein Shakes come in a pack of 4, so why do I have to buy 20-30 if I'm buying them in powder form? I hate when I see a flavor I really want to try, but I don't want to commit to buying a whole tub of it. Some places have single-serving sample packets, but they're not always available in all flavors.

This vanilla custard is so good! I ate it all the time when I was in the puree stage.
