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…

Hemp Milk
Hemp milk is by far the easiest dairy milk substitute. There is no cooking and, with the Vitamix, there is no need to run it through a filtration bag unless it is being given through a gastric tube. It is very calorie dense with lots of protein. It tastes great as is but I’ve added…

Split Pea Milk
The first time I had ever heard of this was on a Facebook group called blenderize RN. Having a teenage boy on a blenderized/pureed diet can be difficult at times.

Mellow Yellow Power Smoothie
I whipped this up after a trip to the gym with my husband. He tasted it and loved it. He suggested I add a bit of nutmeg to it and use it as a replacement for eggnog during the the holidays. That’s saying something because he REALLY loves eggnog. He might just have something there. …

Fresh Almond Milk
This recipe can be found in the Vitamix Whole Food Recipe book. My twist on it is the added vanilla. Because I filter my almond milk, I found that adding the vanilla after meant using less of it. Also the mash remains unflavored so it can be used in a variety of recipes. 3 cups…
