SOFT VEGAN DIETS AFTER DENTAL SURGERY

A VRG member recently had dental surgery and needed a soft vegan diet for several days. He started with chocolate pudding from Simply Vegan https://www.vrg.org/blog/2020/04/03/prepare-vegan-puddings-at-home/, applesauce, and a blended pea soup. A little further along mulligatawny soup, mashed potatoes, and mashed chana masala worked nicely. For more ideas on a vegan soft diet, see Nancy Berkoff’s Texture Alternations for Vegan Diets (https://www.vrg.org/journal/vj2009issue2/texture.htm) and here are some tips from Reed Mangels  https://www.vrg.org/teen/braces.php
