Vitamix (or other blender) recipes
I just had my first post-op pureed meal today using my Vitamix, and it really hit the spot. I made the "Chilled Avocado Soup" recipe in the Vitamix recipe book. It has 2 Avocados, 1/4 C. Cilantro, 1/4 C. Sour Cream (I used low fat), 1 inch fresh ginger, 2 Tbsp. Lime juice, 1 Tsp. Asian Pepper Sauce (Sriracha), 5 C. Chicken Broth. Just put it on a cold soup setting and it pulverizes the ingredients into a velvety cold soup. It's a huge recipe you you may want to half or even quarter the recipe. Amazing and 1/2 cup was only like 50 calories.....
Best wishes on your journey!
I wish I liked avocado and sour cream. I've never been able to eat them. But if you run into any other recipes, let me know!!

I juts bought the vitamix. I have other blenders.. and I really did not wanted to spend money on that. But now I am so glad.
I use that for some shakes, and for really mixing some of my items.
I now make RNY friendly no bake cheesecake, and make batters for my RNY pancakes and even mix my RNY pumpkin bread.
I don't have detailed recipes.. I typically cook by intuition. I just put things together and 99% of the time things come out great or very good.
(i.e. cheesecake: cream cheese + eggs+ yogurt + protein powder+ gelatin+ flavors+ stevia) Blend all. Taste. Adjust is needed. I use large ramekins to set the portions. Making sure that each portion is app 200-250 cal and 20 gr of proteins. (I make spreadsheet - adding all out and see how many portions I end up with - then divide). If I want to make that in a round platter - I sprinkle toased coconut flakes - so the portions can be easily removed.
RNY pancakes: I make bunch - then freeze them. ( I use eggs, water, protein powder - and / or hemp proteins powder, stevia, flavoring, some flax meal, backing powder, pinch of salt, optional - coconut flakes,) mix all. Fry on non-stick pan (I have 2-3 going) . cool, eat or freeze. (always taste the first batch and adjust if needed - or toss out is not edible;... lol) - BTW: if the batter is nasty - the pancakes will be also...
