(18,712 posts)Bake it until soft and then mash it up a bit with your fork. If you can stand it, I sometimes add vegan margarine.
For a change try green pea hummus:
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Add peas; cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain; run under cold water.
In food processor, pulse peas, cilantro, tahini, lemon juice, garlic, and cumin 30 to 40 seconds. Season with salt.
Saltines and Bushs vegetarian baked beans. Right out of the can room temp or even chilled out of the fridge. Lots of good nutrition but eating them room temp or cool seems to make them a lighter meal than eating them hot. Or put them on a backed potato.
Salsa on a baked potato.
Apple sauce.
Elbow macaroni with just a little vegan margarine and you cad sprinkle a little dried basil if that doesnt make it too strong a flavor.
Have you tried a banana smoothie? Frozen banana (slice em before you freeze them, 4 or 5 or so ice cubes, a drop of vanilla, I add vegan protein powder. Husband likes to add honey. Then zap it all together in a blender or vitamin until nice and smooth like a milk shake.
Good luck!
Edited: Thought of something else high in calories yet nutrition rich. Nuts and nut butters. Peanut butter or almond butters. Or even just a handful of nuts will add more calories to your diet.
Puddings can be high in calorie but would go down easy.
Okay last one. You mentioned you could handle pita chips. How about spreading refried beans or a dip made from refried beans on them? Lots of good nutrition and calories in beans.
