HELP! need Ideas for Puree Diet

Looking for some Ideas for my Puree Diet will be finishing clear liquids in a couple of days and not sure where to start with the puree foods.


Thanks Diane

Basically whatever you can mash with a fork......refried beans, scrambled eggs, tuna salad, puddings, yogurt,  etc.   Just make sure the food is very moist.  I'm sure there will be other ideas suggested here, but this is what I thought of off the top of my head.

Thanks Becky that sure helps

Congrats on your revision Diane!

My pureed faves:
Taco Bell refried beans watered down (or any good refried beans)
chicken tortilla soup whirled through the blender (add cheese for more protein and/or 1 scoop of flavorless protein to boost)
mashed potatoes with 1 scoop of flavorless protein (thinned with chicken boillion & water)
cottage cheese stirred with small pkg of s/f jello in any flavor...add small tub of Cool Whip light to make the BEST soft food dessert type food....high protein
cottage cheese with baked sweet potato...add cinnamon & s/f brown sugar
moist scrambled eggs with bits of lowfat cream cheese melted in to moisten (or cheese)
chicken salad, salmon salad, tuna salad.....

Hey Diane -
Chef Dave put together a few small cookbooks for exactly the time you are referring to.  one is called "Soft Foods" and one is called "Smooth Foods."  They give you some good recipes to help get you through the puree diet without feeling like you are missing out!  Here's a link if you are interested:

Good luck - you will do great!

Being hispanic my mama taught me you thrown everything except the kitchen sink into the slow cooker, spice it to taste, let it simmer until its falling apart, throw it in the blender with as much of the liquid goodness as possible and turning it into a puree.  You can do pot roast, soups, beans vegetables even fruits.  Hope this helps.

Thanks I will try this.
