Fruits and Vegetables
One of the key caveats of a bland diet is to eat only cooked foods. Canned or frozen vegetables are ideal, but fresh veggies should be peeled and boiled or steamed thoroughly before serving. Beets, white and sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, spinach and pumpkin are good veggies to include in a bland diet.
Canned or cooked fruits are also acceptable, especially applesauce, and vegetable and fruit juices are permissible. However, people with acid reflux should avoid certain foods like citrus or tomato.3cedars-sinai.org/health-library/diseases-and-conditions/g/gastroesophageal-reflux-disease-gerdheartburn.html
