Banana Berry Smoothie (non-dairy)
A soothing, dairy-free berry and banana smoothie made creamy with soft tofu; gentle on a sore mouth or throat.
By how you feel
Trouble swallowing
Soft textures and sippable soups and smoothies with nothing to chew.
Creamy Zucchini Soup
Zucchini, yellow squash and leeks simmered in stock and puréed into a creamy soup that was a favorite when my children first ate solid food.
Good Morning Fruit Smoothie
Orange juice, mixed berries, banana and yogurt (or tofu, or kefir) blended into a cool, creamy breakfast.
Kale Vegetable Soup
A hearty, heart-healthy soup of kale, spinach, cabbage, potatoes and cannellini beans for a chilly, sunny fall day.
Potato Leek Soup (Vichyssoise)
My father's favorite: roasted potatoes and leeks puréed into a silky soup, served cold, warm or at room temperature.
Protein Packed Oatmeal
Egg whites stirred into cinnamon-vanilla oatmeal give it a surprising lightness and 12 grams of protein in a single bowl.
Pumpkin Custard
A gently spiced pumpkin custard sweetened with maple syrup and baked in a water bath; not so different from what the Pilgrims cooked in the ashes.
Zucchini and Squash Vichyssoise
The first soup of the season: sautéed zucchini and yellow squash puréed with leeks and potatoes into a smooth vichyssoise.
