Does anyone know of any fruit that I can puree other than bananas? I tried cantaloupe this morning and it did not go to well. It's 2:30 and I am still filling it. I don't want to vomit but I just may have too!!!

Please help with the fruit.

Have you tried natural applesauce or you can make your own. I also bought pears and peaches in their own juices and pureed those. I like those with cottage cheese. Sorry to hear about the cantelope. Oh, I had watermelon and it did great on my tummy.

I was thinking about adding fruit to my protien shakes and just making them smoothies.

I refuse to drink my shakes as anything else and have GOT to add fruit

. Once I can begin having berries and such, it will be a no brainer!

Sure, if you want to call it that

. I use the vanilla shake dry mixes from both Target and CVS. I follow the instructions for the shakes and use skim milk vice water. I add ice, about an inch of banana or whatever type fruit you want, a packet of splenda (I like them sweet so this is optional), then throw into the magic bullet or blender. Pretty simple. It may be a bit foamy on top, so I use a straw. However, if you want a plethora of recipes, USAF Wife has a ton on her profile.
