Almost everything I eat is pureed in my little 2 cup blender...and it goes down very easily. I love Ranch dressing so I add a little of that since it makes most of my stuff slide down my throat easily. With cold cereal, I pulverize and then add a little milk and watch the consistency. It works great and for eating out, I have learned to love the soup (broth) or ice cream. I have done enough choking since 1999 that I learned to take it easy on myself and enjoy what I can eat. I even have pizza in my blender......Good luck all and please try it for more flavors to choose from....Flo Martin
