Healthy Soft Food in the Thermomix

Soft Food Recipes Thermomix

Hi! It’s Sian here…

This week one of my children had a fall and was put on a strict ‘Soft Foods’ only diet by the dentist for the next week. We actually get asked quite a bit in the Skinnymixers group for soft food recipes for people who have had their wisdom teeth out or perhaps gastric sleeve surgery. Hopefully this healthy recipe list for ‘soft foods’ in the Thermomix, will help next time it is needed.

Snacks

Thermomix Dips

Thermomix Dips

Ok so the idea of eating dip off a spoon may not appeal to you. But if you’ve been living off a diet of soups, yoghurt, jelly and mashed vegetables for a few days then eating some full flavour snacks might be just what the doctor ordered.

Soups

Healthy Thermomix Soups

The Thermomix makes the most amazing soups. For the chunkier style soups, simply remove any bones or non-edibles and blend by gradually increasing to Speed 9 with your MC ON. If you need a really smooth consistency, try adding cauliflower, potato or pumpkin during the cooking process.

Smoothies

TIP: When making your own smoothies or ‘whole’ juice in the Thermomix. Add your vegetables and fruit with ice first. Blitz together like a sorbet with a little liquid. Then slowly add your chilled water, coconut water or other liquid through the MC hole whilst it is blending. The ice will help breakdown the vegetables/fruit and will give you a smoother consistency for your green smoothies.

Main Meals

Soft Food Main Meals

So beyond cooking a Thermomix recipe and then blending at the end (the Greek Simple Stew is Foodie Baby’s favourite puree to eat)… these meals lend themselves to a softer texture. With a little tweaking, you won’t just be eating pureed food.

Sweet

Sweet Soft Food

These sweets can be eaten for breakfast or maybe some dessert.

skinnymixer’s Marinated Feta

Marinated Feta is one of my favourite ways to eat cheese and although I am dairy intolerant, I still make an allowance for feta with my bacon and eggs occasionally. 

The only issue I have with commercial marinated feta is that it is almost always vegetable or canola oil used, which is definitely not something I can make an allowance for in my diet due to inflammation. This recipe uses olive oil, and while it will solidify in the fridge you can simply pop it on the bench to warm before serving. Feel free to experiment with marinating flavours, but keep in mind that raw garlic and keeping cooked garlic in oil carries a botulism risk. Love Nik xx

skinnymixer’s Chilli Mussels

Michael and dad LOVE mussels, and with Easter around the corner I thought it was a perfect excuse to get back in to the kitchen and cooking for this amazingly supportive community. Cooking your mussels in your Thermal cooker is not only really quick, but they turn out plumper and less rubbery according to my family (ill take their word on this one…) – This has a great kick to it, but you can always reduce the chilli content for a more mild version. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did developing it after a little recovery break, Love Nik xx

Author:
Recipe type: Seafood
Cuisine: Italian
Ingredients
  • 1 x medium brown onion, peeled, quartered
  • 3 cloves of garlic, peeled
  • 3 fresh long red chillies, roughly chopped (you can deseed them and reduce the amount for mild)
  • 30 g olive oil
  • 400 g tin of diced tomato (I recommend Ardmona)
  • 30 g tomato paste
  • 1 tbsp stock concentrate
  • 100 g water
  • 1kg fresh mussels, debearded
to serve
  • handful of fresh continental parsley, roughly chopped
  • 2 tsp capers (optional)
Instructions
  1. Add onion, garlic and chilli to mixer bowl. Chop for 3-5 sec/speed 5/MC on. Scrape bowl down.
  2. Add remaining ingredients, except for the mussels and serving ingredients. Cook for 10 min/steaming temperature/speed 1/MC off.Put the deep steaming tray in place to avoid splatter in your kitchen.
  3. Put the mussels into the deep steaming tray and cook for a further 7 min/steaming temperature/speed 2 or until mussels are opened and cooked.
  4. Stir through the sauce and mussels into a serving bowl, top with parsley and capers and enjoy!
Notes
You can swap out the mussels for firm fish, prawns or crab as well for an alternative seafood 🙂

I was once gifted a gorgeous jar of Truffle Salt from a dear friend, and loved putting it on my eggs and fried mushrooms for breakfast… This is a great way to seriously boost the flavour of dishes, season vegetables and meat and to make fairly tasteless button mushrooms taste amazing – just fry in a little butter and finish with the Porcini Salt! You can find dried porcini mushrooms at quality fruit & vegetable grocers, markets and online.

Meal Plan: Freezer Stash for Quick Meals

Hi! It’s Tash Skews here…

There have been a few posts in the group recently from Skinnymixer friends who get together and cook up a huge freezer stash between them. Since I don’t have enough room to have a big stash of pre-prepared meals, I like to keep at least one shelf in my freezer full of recipe bases, spice mixes and pastes so that I can buy meat and veg fresh but since I have a good part of the prep work already done, dinner is still a relatively quick fix.

Clear a spot on your kitchen bench for a second Thermie, set aside a few hours for a good catch-up with a fellow Skinnymixer and get a “simmer sauce shelf” sorted for both of you!

These are some of the staples I like to have on hand, and I’ve put together a shopping list for you to make them all!

Make the dry spice mixes first then move onto the wet ones without washing the bowl – one of the most loved lines in Skinnymixer recipes 😉

Mexican Spice Mix

I double or triple it and freeze in a snap lock bag to keep it fresh.  A triple batch of this per family involved in the prep session would be ideal.

These are some of the ways I use it:

  • To add to mince for tacos (2 tablespoons per 500g meat)
  • To sprinkle / rub on chicken breasts which I either:
  • As a sprinkle for homemade wedges

Mexican Crio Chicken

skinnymixer's Mexican Crio Chicken

skinnymixer’s Mexican Crio Chicken

Double this per family so you have at least two meals each out of it.

This makes amazing wraps when paired with chipotle mayonnaise and served with appleslaw and chipotle chips.

Za’atar

Double this per family so you have at least two meals each out of it. You can save on space and prepare the dry spices so you cut down on the toasting / cooling step and freezing in portions. When I go to use it I blend the garlic clove in with the oil and lemon. It also works making up the whole thing into a paste and freezing with the chicken marinating.

There is so much flavour in this spice mix, and I serve it with a simple green salad with a vinaigrette dressing, or a potato salad.

Chicken Kiev & Chicken Parmie Prep

Chicken Parmigiana

Skinnymixers Chicken Parmie

Having Chicken Kiev and Chicken Parmie crumb mixtures ready in the freezer makes these into a quicker meal option for busy nights, so I like to have a couple of batches of these frozen to save myself a bit of time.  I make the garlic butter and roll into logs in cling wrap before freezing, which makes it easier to form the chicken kievs around slices of it and minimises leakage.  The parmie sauce freezes well too!

Red Pesto

skinnymixer’s Red Pesto

Double this per family, and freeze to use in one of many ways:

  • Scrolls, Pizza Sauce or even a toasted sandwich with cheese!
  • Savoury crepes (red pesto, ham, shredded cheese, tomato)
  • Use with shredded chicken
  • Eat it as dip, or also mix with cream cheese
  • Kievs (pesto, spinach & cheese), Parmies, Chicken Rissoles
  • Roast lamb crust
  • Stir through Pasta or a Pasta bake (with chicken)
  • Mix through Lunchbox Chicken Loaf

You can make the spice mixes, crumb mixtures, garlic butter and parmie sauce in the order listed without washing the bowl!  Give it a wash before starting on the curry pastes and a quick rinse between them unless you’re really good at scraping them out 😉

Curry Pastes

skinnymixer's Massaman Beef Curry

skinnymixer’s Massaman Beef Curry

The recipes for Thai green curry, Thai red curry and Massaman pastes each make 4 portions of the paste, so a single recipe can easily be split between a couple of families.  However, as there are so many alternative uses for them, you might want to do a double batch of both!

These are just some of the blog recipes you can make with these:

Smashed Avocado is an ultra trendy breakfast choice at the moment in cafés across Australia. I encourage you to try thinking outside of the box with this one and serve it with chicken or steak too. There are many different variations, however I love the Persian feta in this recipe as it gives a creamier texture. Feel free to experiment with ingredients to suit your dietary requirements and tastes.

If I’m ever going to eat a fast food breakfast it will be a sausage muffin because I love the peppery meat patties. This is my take on that tasty goodness which also goes great with the Smashed Avocado and Bruschetta Mix for something a bit different. You can also use them with the Low Carb Burger Buns if you are watching your carb intake.

Mayonnaise is my favourite condiment, and making your own from scratch makes it a super healthy, delicious dairy free addition to meals. 

I highly recommend using the avocado oil from Costco, but if you’re not able to source it I have found Cobram Light Tasting Olive Oil is the second best! Love Nik xx

Recipe type: Condiment
Ingredients
  • 125 g avocado oil from costco, or cobram light tasting olive oil
  • 1 egg yolk, room temperature
  • 1 heaped teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 10 g raw honey (optional)
  • pinch salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Insert butterfly, add yolk, mustard, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper to mixer bowl. Mix for 1 min/37°C/speed 4/MC on..
  2. Set mixer to 3 mins/37°C/speed 4 and VERY slowly start drizzling oil into bowl. Take the full 3 minutes to do so. Scrape bowl out and set aside in the fridge.
Notes
I use the avocado oil from Costco. If you don't have a costco near you, I recommend you use Cobram extra light tasting olive oil as the avocado oil from supermarkets is pretty gross!

To Store: 3-5 days in a sterilised jar in the fridge.

This is another recipe that I have been cooking for years, yet have not gotten around to putting on the website because of how difficult it can be to find raw chorizo mince. When you do find it, you definitely don’t want to look at the ingredients list! A big thank you to Brooke for giving me the idea of teaching people how to make their own healthy chorizo mince.
