What did you like when you did the Puree diet?

So I am looking for ideas on what to do for the puree diet.  I am going back to work on Tues of next week and trying to be prepared with foods I might like to eat (so I can feel semi normal :)).  So what did you like for puree'd foods (of course the higher protien value the better).

Thanks for the input as always

What did I like when I was on the pureed diet? That I wasn't on a liquid diet any more! LOL

Let's see...mashed avacado, ricotta cheese, and yogurt.

 Well, I don't get the puree stage   I am making scrambled eggs with cottage cheese, refired beans with some LF cheddar cheese melted on top, oatmeal, chili with LF cheddar cheese and my fav so far, turkey 3 oz with gravy...yummo.  I have been having broth with veggies now cooked well.  These foods do not need to be pureed.  I chew them well and there is texture and to eat it as mush would make me sick   SO I don't get the puree stage.  I think as long as you chew to mush you are good. I have had no problems. I love having a slice of cheddar cheese to eat too....it is soft. Cottage with a little apple sauce.  I have been taking turkey rolls with cheese and soup to work.

I was not on the puree diet very long, but I made chicken salad. I boiled the chicken in a pot with onions and spices. Then I added a few teaspoons of fat free mayo and the onions that I cooked the chicken in.I then put it all in a food processor and it was amazing! I usually add fruit and other good thing but I knew I couldn't. I highly recommend this. Good Luck!!!

Refried beans with a little shredded cheddar and taco sauce.  Ricotta cheese with spaghetti sauce and a little shredded parmesan.

I am on the pureed diet now and I am a huge fan of egg salad and tuna salad.

 I haven't started yet.  Surgery got postponed till November.  I pureed and froze a bunch of stuff getting ready.  I pureed a tasty rotisserie chicken, and grilled lean chops on the grill and pureed them. I also pureed scrambled eggs, not very impressive till I added some dill and Emeril seasoning. 

Wow thanks for all the great ideas!  I was excited before I read all this, but now I am REALLY excited!!!  :))


Whooo hoooo!

 I'll be starting puree on the 15th, so looking forward to it!  Thanks for sharing all the great Ideas for food!  Can't wait to chew something again.....

One of my favs was puree chicken with puree vegitable soup mixed together. The chicken isnt too dry and the veggies give it a yummy flavor
