Founded by the parents of a tube-fed child who thrived on a blenderized diet, Real Food Blends meals are 100% real food pureed meals for use in a feeding tube. The three varieties of Real Food Blends meals are meant to complement an enteral formula diet, giving nutritional variety and real food to a tube-fed person. For people that practice a blenderized diet, these meals can be used as a convenient, on-the-go alternative to enteral formulas. The Chicken, Carrots & Brown Rice blend contains only eight ingredients: chicken, brown rice, carrots, water, orange juice concentrate, ginger, grapeseed oil and sunflower seeds. These blenderized meals are made shelf-stable through the same heating process that keeps baby foods on shelves. Real Food Blends meals are thicker than traditional enteral formulas (that's part of the reason they tend to 'sit better' in the stomach), and are intended to be bolus fed with a syringe. Additional liquid can be added to thin out these meals for use in a feeding tube pump or smaller feeding tubes. Always consult with your medical professionals before making any changes to your prescribed enteral (tube-feeding) formula, and before starting a blenderized diet.
