Hi, another soft vegetable is cabbage. It is really good if you fry it on the stove in a little bit of olive oil, salt, and pepper, until soft and mushy. Tastes really yummy!
Also I would recommend buying some of the protein powder at like GNC. They have the unflavored stuff that you can add to just about anything like juice, pudding, oatmeal, etc, AND they have flavored ones like "strawberry banana" and "Vanilla" that work great in like fruit and ice cream smoothies etc. I've heard that Carnation instant breakfast is a good think to drink or add to smoothies too! Has lots of vitamins and protein added to it also. Soups are great too....you can make really good bean and barley type soups that are really good and filling too! Good luck and I hope this helps some!
