Food Untethered Blends are not a formula, but 100% real food with no additives. We created them because we believe that everyone has a right to a healthy, natural diet, no matter how they eat their food. Be true to you.

What does it mean for a meal to be deemed nutritionally complete then?

A meal is deemed nutritionally complete if it provides 100% of the recommended values of carbohydrates, protein, fat, vitamins, and minerals per serving. To do this, you need additives to create a single formula that does it all. That in turn needs to contain a delivery base (Whey etc.) and so we see all the issues people have with formula feeding.

Humans need a balanced diet, not a ‘nutritionally complete’ formula. Our blends and recipes are created to be part of a balanced diet, they contain a rich variety of ingredients that are selected to help you be you.

Our Organic, tube food pouches are a liquidised level 3 (IDDSI) real food blend and ideal for tube-feeding. As such they are optimised for calories and nutrition, they are easily digestible as an oral feed too but we feel that our Organic, oral pouches are more fun to consume.

More importantly dietary needs vary across us all and so it’s crucial that you make sure that any diet meets your requirements. Having said that, we make delicious, individual real, blended food.

Never be defined by how you eat, be you..

When unopened our organic, additive free blends can be stored at room temperature.

Once opened, consume within 2 hours or refrigerate and use within 24 hours.

This is a recent study and resource source that has been carried out by Vygon and the University of Nottingham. It is a brilliant source of information, support and ideas. While it obviously promotes their equipment and recipes for home blending, this is about you and us and everyone having choice. The more that people can learn about blended diets and the more they can experience them, the better we will all be.

The future must be about choice and helping ourselves to be healthier.

We won’t repeat all they have done but here are a few direct links to the different parts of the site.

Where would we be without referencing this study from Néstle, while they make much of the formula feed, they commissioned this study. It is a good read and a fairly easy one. It clearly charts a course for further research but in itself highlights the many benefits that can be seen from using blended meals where they are appropriate and supported by healthcare professionals.

Thank you Néstle
