Re: What foods blend best??

[Guest guest]

I had bimaxillary surgery to correct an underbite almost 3 years ago and was

wired

shut for a little over 6 weeks. I actually added tofu to a lot of the foods I

blended.

You can't taste it, it has a lot of protein, and fills you up really quickly.

Surprisingly,

cream of spinach soup is great in a blender, so is tortilla soup. Most days, I

would

snack on mashed potatoes, pudding, and red pepper hummus (separately). I know

it's

easy to get desperate for real food, but some things that don't work so well in

a

blender are: mac and cheese (it's like eating paste), pizza and spaghetti-o's.

Good

luck with everything!!
