TLDR; Anyone have any ideas beyond store bought pudding, jello, and plain broth for a liquid diet?
My grandmother just had surgery and is on a liquid diet for two weeks, and, well, I’m trying not to make that completely boring for her. (Take note she’s a cool grandma. :) )
The primary restrictions and guidelines are: 1) protein intake is most important to focus on. 2) it must (hypothetically) be able to be drank through a straw (she doesn’t have to use a straw, just general guideline for consistency) 3) no fruits. Only fruit juices, even in smoothies. 4) no fiber rich vegetables, even puréed.
Worth noting that I do cook a lot so I’m able to execute most ideas. My initial thoughts include: -Smoothies and shakes (with Greek yogurt and 2% or almond milk for protein along with protein powder) - Blended potato leek soup -Frozen Greek yogurt -Adding nut butters for additional protein
Any additional ideas anyone?? (Especially on the savory side)
bon appetit
