I'm currently in the pureed food stage - have 6 more days.
I took an Adkins chicken and broccoli alfredo frozen dinner (cooked in the microwave) ,added some 2% milk (I can't handle less than that ;/), tossed in a bit of grated parm and threw it all in my blender. Add salt and peppper to taste. Man, talk about heaven!!

You can add as little or as much LF milk as you want, but the chicken flavor comes through wonderfully!

It makes a LOT for my wee tummy now, but it's so good I look forward to the leftovers!
IF you ate the whole thing there would be close to 28 grams of protein!
 
Sounds like it was just right. For more protein you might want to blend in some unflavored protein powder. Just an idea, in case. You might want to up the protein.

Thanks, but I get a bunch of protein in the other stuff I eat. I have to have egg white protein for the shakes. This was just one meal.

What is egg white protein shakes? Do you buy them or is it something you make?

You purchase the powder like you would whey protein. And of course, it's more expensive than whey protein - but I have/get kidney stones, and it's an alternative for whey.

OHHHH OK, so it is just another type of protein powder? Gotcha!
