Request suggestions for Protein rich puree foods
Hi Pat,
My Dr. suggest pureed soups. Home made chicken and veggie. I can not have meats for a couple of more weeks. Put pureed chicken is ok. I can have V8 and tomato juice also. (no protein in those tho). Also soft eggs. So Egg Drop soup has been my favorite meal. Cottage cheese and applesauce also.
I can't wait till I can have pureed steak and potatoes!! lol

Oh i almost forgot....I can have 1/4 baked potato. So I cooked one in the microwave and added lowfat sourcream and almost died. The potato went down like cement and slowly came back up. HURT SO BAD. So I am pureeing with skim milk and chicken stock to make it more soupy. Works real good. I also put Chocolate SF instant breakfast made with skim milk in my coffee. YUM That has quite a bit of protein in it.
During my puree week, I mady my usual meatloaf, ran my stick chopper through it and ate slowly. Try refried beans, fat free. cottage cheese, greek yogurt flavored with sugar free jelly.
