Blended, Not Complicated E-BOOK

A practical, person-centred guide to blended diets for tube feeding.

Blended, Not Complicated has been created to make blended diets feel a little less overwhelming. It brings together practical guidance, real-life considerations, equipment advice, troubleshooting and a collection of simple blended recipes, all in one easy-to-read ebook.

Inside, you’ll find information on why someone might choose a blended diet, working with your healthcare team, nutrition and hydration, viscosity, equipment, building a balanced blend and adapting everyday family meals. There are also 10 practical recipes, with approximate energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, fibre and fluid information, alongside ideas for higher-energy, higher-protein and higher-fibre options.

The guide also includes a dedicated section for healthcare professionals, covering considerations when developing or reviewing a blended diet SOP.

Created with a focus on choice, flexibility and person-centred care, this resource recognises that blended diets don’t have to be all-or-nothing and there is no single “perfect” way to tube feed.

Perfect for: people who are tube fed, parents and carers, dietitians, students and other healthcare professionals wanting a practical introduction to blended diets.
