For a change of taste, I heated up 3/4 cup of Trader Joe's carrot ginger cashew soup and added a quarter cup of (room temperature) ginger miso broth, then added a couple tablespoonfuls of PB2 powdered peanut butter. and then added a scoop of unflavored protein powder. Make sure the temp doesn't exceed 140 degrees or the protein powder will clump. It tastes pretty great, especially after nothing but chocolate and vanilla protein drinks. It made me almost feel like I was eating Thai food which is my favorite.0

Unjury makes a pretty good unflavored protein powder that you can add to your yogurt to up the protein. That should help some. This does get easier as the swelling goes down in your stomach and you can get more fluids/food in.0
