"Trust me, after a while, even gourmet mashed potatoes lose their charm... gotta mix it up somehow."
Haha, totally get this. Had a patient once who joked that after jaw surgery, he could write a cookbook titled "101 Ways to Blend Chicken." Your frozen fruit tip is spot-on though—makes smoothies way easier. Did you ever try blending avocado into soups or smoothies? Sounds weird, but it adds creaminess and healthy fats without changing the flavor much. Curious if anyone else has tried that...
Avocado smoothies actually aren't half bad... tried one after my dentist suggested softer foods post-braces tightening. Thought it would taste like guac in a glass, but nope—just creamy goodness. But honestly, there's only so much blending you can do before you start missing chewing on something crunchy. Ever tried sneaking peanut butter into a smoothie? Messy cleanup, but pretty tasty stuff.
Avocado smoothies sound surprisingly decent, but does peanut butter actually blend smoothly or does it stay kinda chunky? I'm getting braces soon and already stressing about food choices... any other smoothie hacks you'd recommend?
"does peanut butter actually blend smoothly or does it stay kinda chunky?"
Depends on your blender, honestly. If you've got a decent one, peanut butter blends pretty smoothly—just add a bit of milk or yogurt first to thin it out. But if you're worried about braces, almond butter might be even smoother and easier to blend. Also, frozen bananas are your friend... they make smoothies creamy without any chunks. Plus, they're budget-friendly if you buy ripe ones on sale and freeze them yourself. Good luck with the braces journey, it's rough at first but you'll adapt quicker than you think.
Yeah, peanut butter can be tricky... mine always stayed kinda chunky no matter what I did. Almond butter was way easier to blend smooth, though. Hang in there with the braces—it gets easier after the first couple weeks.
