Can I ask what kind of unflavored protein powder you use? I haven't tried that. I am on puree stage right now.My dietician suggested protein drinks first because it’s helping meet the protein and liquid goal, then move onto food/purée. I don’t always do that now, but I’m 3 months out. That’s what I do, but I’m sure there are a lot of other suggestions. I did also add unflavored protein powder to my purées.
