Why blend?
Whether a person eats by mouth or by feeding tube, it's important to have a healthy diet.
Did you know that fresh food can be blended with fluids to create nutritious liquid meals for tube feeding? Highly processed tube feeding formula is not the only option. Blended food can be used exclusively or in combination with commercial tube feeding formula.
Research has shown that natural tube feeding (also known as blenderized tube feeding or a blended diet) is safe and easily digested. Most importantly- it offers a way to nurture tube fed loved ones with homemade food, share meals with family and friends, and optimize one's diet for better health.
