Pureed Stage - Fruit/Veggie
Afternoon Everyone,
I hope you're having a great family day.
I started the pureed stage of my diet. I am allowed to have a small amount of fruits and vegetables.
I know everyone is different but based on your experience... What fruits and veggies were the easiest to go down/experience the least amount of issues with.
I love all fruit and all veggies except for carrots.
Thanks!

Hi! Isn't it nice to get to eat again instead of just having shakes? I'm really enjoying my pureed meals, which is funny as this was the stage I was most worried about because I thought it would be so gross, lol.
So far, I've only tried no sugar added apple sauce. I added some extra cinnamon and a bit of Truvia sweetener and it was delicious. I had no trouble with it. I haven't tried any other fruit sauces or veggies. Most of my purees except for the apple sauce have been protein based.
Have you tried egg salad pureed? It's yummy, lol.

I really enjoyed Heinz Baby Oatmeal Cereal, actually I still have it for breakfast....
Sugar free popsicles, sugar free jello, bananas, sugar free apple sauce, peaches, Heinz Baby Prunes, Squash, Weston Whipped Cream Cheese, Laughing Cow Cheese, Hummous, water melon, You are going to find that as you progress to soft you really continue eating food from all stages.
You have to see what works for you.
Good luck

IN THE END WE ONLY REGRET CHANCES WE DIDN'T TAKE.
I got canned pears and peaches in water and had no problems. Canned yellow beans also worked for me along with sweet potato mashed with canned white beans to bring up the protein content. I coated the chunks of sweet potatoes with a little bit of olive oil, cumin and cinnamon before baking them and then pureed them with the beans. I've put half a banana and a table spoon of peanut butter in my chocolate protein shake. Beware of watermelon as it is one of the highest glycemic index fruits.
