What do you feed your kid who just got a palate expander?

My 7 year old just got a palate expander. 24 hours ago. We are struggling with food options for her. Any suggestions? We tried pancakes (because they are soft) and they got stuck in there. I figured pasta would be safe and that was a nightmare, she almost choked 😳 (the spaghetti was dangling from the palate expander). We are doing smoothies and yogurt so far. Anyone with experience with a palate expander? Thanks!
