This recipe is more of an addendum to my split pea milk recipe. I have had many more questions about it coming from Ripple drinkers. Some of the struggles were: separation, strong pea taste, watery taste and thickened texture. My original recipe was written for g-tube feedings and oral eaters with limited taste experiences. After…

This was an unexpected surprise! I was originally trying to add more fiber to the Poopinator Plus because we are still waiting on a referral to UCLA Children’s Hospital for a more in depth motility.

Basic Blend
This is one of those “what we had for dinner” blends. The picture and the recipe are spoon thick because it can just as easy be used for someone on a pureed diet. To make it thinner for bolus or pump feeding, just add more turkey stock or bone broth if you happen to have…
