Totally get you on the soup overload. I started microwaving frozen veggies and mashing them with instant potatoes—tastes better than it sounds. Ever tried making smoothies with stuff besides fruit? I did beans once... not my best idea, but it was filling.
Haha, beans in a smoothie is wild—I’ve done spinach and avocado but never thought to go full savory. I get the struggle though, chewing anything crunchy is a no-go when your tooth’s busted. I’ve been living off scrambled eggs and overcooked pasta lately. Ever tried blending up cooked oats with peanut butter? It’s not pretty but it fills you up. Wondering if anyone’s managed to make a decent “soft” meal that isn’t just carbs...
Honestly, I’ve never been able to get on board with the whole oats and peanut butter thing—always ends up like glue for me. Have you tried pureed lentil soup? It’s got protein and isn’t just carbs, but I’m not sure if it triggers tooth pain for anyone else. Does anyone else find beans in smoothies just... weird texture-wise?
Yeah, oats and peanut butter just get stuck in my braces too, so I totally get the “glue” thing. Lentil soup is usually gentle for me, but if it’s hot, I worry about sensitivity around broken teeth. Has anyone else noticed that certain beans—like chickpeas—make smoothies gritty? I keep wanting to add them for protein but the texture kind of freaks me out. Also, am I the only one who checks every bite for sharp bits when a tooth’s busted? It’s like constant low-key panic.

Not just you—every meal turns into an archaeological dig for me. I swear, even mashed potatoes start looking suspicious. And yeah, chickpeas in smoothies... tried it once, regretted it immediately. Tasted like drinking sand.
