Food that doesn't require chewing

Sorry to hear about your accident, hope you are better soon

I have fish in sauce, fruit fools, cottage cheese, mashed potato salad, mashed sardines. tinned tomato heated on buttered bread ( it smooshes the bread), trifle, ice cream with pureed fruit.

Boiled egg chopped up in a cup with a good dollop of butter ( heaven!) Mashed potato with plenty of butter, fish pie, pureed veg.

I add grated cheese and or mayonnaise to anything I can, keeps the calories up.

Malted milk drinks, hot chocolate, milk, smoothies, coffee made with milk, milk shakes and cappuchino or mocha. I add a flurry of squirty cream to these to bump up the calories or you can add a spoonful of fresh cream

Hope this helps.

DD broke her jaw when she was 6, and wasn't allowed to chew for a month. We found we could puree most things - including roast chicken dinner complete with stuffing!! Other ideas - Weetabix with lots of milk, banana sandwiches cut up into small cubes (crusts off obviously).

After about 2 weeks of this, someone gave her a chewy lolly - I said I would keep it until she was able to eat it, but she insisted that she would just lick it. She did - it lasted THREE HOURS!!!

Quaker Oats 'Oat So Simple' golden syrup flavour (already in it). A sachet takes 2 minutes in a microwave and its gorgeous. Hope you get better soon.

My particular favourite is gravy with bread cut/torn into tiny pieces and soaked in.


Also, Weetabix that's well soaked, ice cream. If you can chew a little maybe overcooked pasta or noodles in a sauce. Carrot and swede mash. Jelly, custard, smoothies. You could try juicing if you fancy it.

When I was 18 I had an operation on my jaw and while it was healing my jaw was wired together for 6 weeks. My favourite meal was a tin of ravioli put through the blender and for pudding, choccie biscuits mashed up in some warm milk...most probably why I didn't lose any weight!

Search for dysphagia which is difficulty swallowing, or texture modified foods.

Wiltshire Farm Foods have prepared pureed meals. They also have mashed and fork mashable means and even pureed sandwiches. Brochure

There are also cookbooks eg The Dysphagia Cookbook and I Can't Chew

Easy To Swallow has some recipes and ideas.
