I've been feeding my daughter a blended diet for +3 years now and I often find myself stuck in a rut while trying to figure it healthy blends that actually taste good for her to enjoy by mouth. For some reason, desert inspired blends had never occurred to me! We've been enjoying Claire's banana bread and carrot cake (featured on her blog) so purchasing this recipe book was really a no-brainer and it has been worth every dollar. It gave me a fresh perspective on blended meals and I can't wait to try out all of the recipes!

Loved the recipes. Easy to follow and really appreciate that the non-tube fed members of my family can also eat a lot of the recipes (minus the blending) with very little adaption.

Love the book I just wish it had more recipes. Very helpful with meal ideas.

My husband feels so much better getting real food instead of just formula. He has come a long way and loves having food. The formula was not settling well and upsetting his stomach. He cannot eat real food yet but will be coming within the next week. I will still use these menus for a while during transitioning.

As someone who has been through every j-tube feeding formula and experienced all of the side effects, I didn't think there was any hope left for me. I was so happy to find this book and was amazed that it was even possible to DIY j-tube formula. I haven't tried it yet, but my dietitian approves and was so impressed with the masterclass that she is willing to work with me on incorporating these recipes into my diet!

Recipes are easy to follow and easy to make. I was feeding my child the pre made blends that came from Medicaid. I thought how miserable it would be to eat the same thing for every meal every day of my life. I started researching home blends. I stumbled so much as I tried to make a healthy meal that would taste good and be in calorie range. My son can taste the food he receives via feeding tube when he burps or has reflux. My son can not swallow on his own. This recipe book has the calorie amount and makes delicious blends. I even eat them! Since I began feeding my son these recipes he has drastically changed. He is full of energy, happy and excited for meal time! I never realized how much food can affect our over all well being! Thank you for making this book!

I have been tube feeding for over two years with tube formula and recently received a Vitmix blender!
Getting this book has opened up a whole new world to get real food into
my system …. THANKS

love the recipe book, I have been using it every day. I wish it had more recipes to use and I am looking forward to another book from you. I especially like the calorie content, etc. of each recipe.

Hi Claire:
The book is amazing!!! It help me so much. I'm doing the course too.

This book was very helpful for our family. Personally feel like the value was excellent. There's more than recipes in the book. Also lots of tube feeding information that was really important but no one else ever told us! I highly recommend.

Just starting tubing and found your recipes extremely helpful .

Loved the recipes

I'm a fan. The recipes have worked great for us but this book give tons of other important information that our healthcare team never gave us. Like the different ways to feed blended food and how to store it safely. Plus lots of other info too. Thanks for this!!

I love Claire's recipe book. I use it every day. I wish there were another book with more recipes. I would purchase it in a second. Thank you so much!

I love that the layout is so fresh and pretty for a serious and sometimes frightening topic.
In my view it dedramatizes the process to give confidence to newbies.

Terrific recipe book for tube feeding; easy, quick and healthy recipes that offers helpful ideas beyond the usual go-to berry smoothie. A great find, thanks!

Great book. I am just starting it and have used 3 of the recipes so far. My wife and I are having fun with it for sure as it has added foods that I would never have eaten before. I was always a meat and potatoes kind of guy. Will try them all before going back to repeat any of them. Thanks for the information, it really helps.

I like your book, except that my husband gets bloated and has lots of gas. I suspect it could be caused y lentils and broccoli. What else would you recommend?

The meals are very tastey for when eating by mouth. Enjoy knowing the nutritional value of each meal. The only thing that would be nice to add is the thickness (eg: honey thick, nectar thick) and what thickness is needed for syringe, infinity pump and gravity fed for people just starting out with blended foods.

Well so far so good carrots are tough to get smooth. Any hints?

I love the book, It is so nice that the recipes are made palatable for oral eating as well as my son is able to eat puree so this will be fantastic.

We have tried some of the recipes in this e-book and my husband is quite happy with the variety and wholesome ingredients. The recipes are not complicated and if you plan ahead and precook and freeze the meats, fish and vegetables in individual portions for each recipe/meal, time spent preparing the feeding is minimal. We are very happy to have this great recipe book and use the recipes daily!

My husband has ALS and has developed an intolerance to the food prescribed for nutrition through his feeding tube. We read this book online and decided to try the meals. They have worked very well. We have used the recipes for a week. His stomach and digestion has evened out and he is no longer cramping or loose stools. The recipes are easy to follow, easy to prepare and smell good! I developed a grocery list to help keep track of the meal items used. That would be my only suggestion to add to the book, a premade grocery list. We are so happy to have found this alternative!

I was disappointed that for the money, there was only a handful of dinner recipes. I really thought there would be more creative meals. I don't think I would participate in any further orders.

Guide is very detailed with it's explanation. Decent selection of recipes. Should be priced lower as I'd expect a whole book for that price.

Recipes were great. We're grateful to have found this website and are doing the course also. Very very helpful. We finally feel we know what we're doing!

Dear Claire,
Your recipe book was literally a life saver for me! Just a little over three months ago, I had to have a PEG put in due to a cancerous esophageal tumor. I had severe intolerance issues with all the formulas available, causing even more health issues to deal with. Blending was my only option. I reached out to other "tubies" and was given your website. I absolutely love your recipe book! The work put into it is phenomenal! I love that each recipe is broken down into it's specific nutritional values and let's not forget the mouth-watering photos! They are easy to follow and made up of simple ingredients available in any grocery store. My health has greatly improved since I've started having "real" food again! Thank you for being one of God's "Earth Angels"!

I purchased the e book version and access was immediate. The book is beautifully designed and the food photography makes each meal look very appealing. Great recipes and easy to follow information. As I am in New Zealand I will look at these and try to formulate a couple of Kiwi traditional meal recipes, following these principles.
For those looking at recipe titles only, not always clear what the protein source/ sources are. I will be in touch re your course also. Ruth

Great book! Easy to make recipes, very detailed and with all the information needed about nutritional values
