Soft food and almost liquid options. (TMJ flareup friendly)

shortyuk

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for some good healthy 'food' options as above.

I have TMJ which has been in a flare up since I was rear-ended just over a year ago. Sometimes it locks and I can't even get a teaspoon in my mouth. (I sometimes have to resort to my 19-month-old nieces weening spoons!).

Right now I'm living on mushy food or soup and I'm getting bored.

Any suggestions appreciated!

Edit: I'm a vegetarian who cannot stomach eggs!

Greek yogurt, cottage cheese for protien (I add sugar free powdered jello 1tsp to flavor it) tofu takes on the flavor of the sauce or seasonings and is soft. Eggs & pasta cooked soft.

Mashed potatoes, meal replacement drinks, smoothies both veggies and fruit added protien powder if needed. Fresh veggie juiced if you have a juicer.

Hope this helps!

Cheesecake flavored pudding with peanut butter mixed in tastes like a Butterfinger. It's not super healthy, but it's a nice treat. Maybe swirl some sugar free chocolate syrup in it.

For Thanksgiving I made mashed 'fauxtatoes'. Roasted cauliflower, turnip, and garlic pureed in a food processor with butter, salt, pepper, splash of milk, and a container of shredded parmesan/romano.

Mashed sweet potato with butter, brown sugar, cinnamon. Toast a few marshmallows to mush into it as well.

Any vegetable soup can be thrown in a blender and sucked through a straw.

Heck, you could throw just about any cake (or cookies or brownies or whatever) into a blender with some milk and yogurt (or like Halo Top ice cream or something) and have a cake shake for funsies. It's super easy to make healthy cakes for this.
Cheesecake would be easy to make healthy. It has a lot of egg in it though, and I don't know if you are intolerant of eggs or just don't like the taste of them straight.
