Liquid and Squish food stage ideas
Hello!
I have the issue where I get tired of foods quickly, so I wanted some ideas on what I could eat for Stage 1 and 2 (liquid and squishy foods). I'm okay wish drinking straigh****er so I don't need anything like Crystal Light to mix into it. Here are the items I have already on my list:
Liquids:
Chicken Broth
Beef Broth
Miso Broth
Bone Broth? (If I can find any)
Fairlife Milk
Premier Protein
Squishy:
Greek Yougurt
Cottage Cheese
Scrambled Egg w/ Cheese
Sugar Free Pudding with Protein Power mixed in
Whole Foods carries bone broth in several flavors. Best of all, they come in small individual cartons (somewhere around 8-12 fluid ounces each), with a screw-on, replaceable cap. I think the cartons come in 4-packs. Look for them in the soups and broths area.
My go-to squishy foods were:
- Instant mashed potatoes, mixed with canned green beans. Initially I just bought them from KF****il I had the energy to make my own. You can add some unflavored protein powder to the instant potatoes, or use your high-protein fairlife milk to make them (I used high-protein almond milk instead of water to make them).
- Canned fat-free refried beans (easy to spice up with Siracha or other sauces if you prefer).
- Split pea soup.
- Cream of Rice cereal with canned-in-juice peaches (mashed up the peaches with a fork). You could cook in your fairlife milk instead of water, or add protein powder, to increase the protein content.
For liquids, I couldn't tolerate much of anything other than sugar-free popsicles and sugar-free jello (made from the box, not the pre-made kind).
I had a lot of trouble with finding foods that didn't upset my stomach, so these were life-savers.
Hope these help.

I love, love, love Cream of Wheat, but used to add butter and brown sugar to it. Now that I can't, I found that a scoop of Vanilla Protein Powder added in (I used Jay Robb) is YUMMY!
I also really enjoy the taste of the Unjury Chicken Protein Powder, and add it to broth and all cream soups.
I have unsweetened applesauce in my frig as well as all the things you've listed... I vary it up every day.
