Healthcare Professionals

The Blended Diet Family Recipe Book was created from lived experience as a parent carer of a tube fed child with complex medical needs.  It is designed to complement, not replace, the advice and guidance provided by healthcare professionals.

The recipes within the book have been developed to help families prepare practical, real-food blends with clear measurements and nutritional information, making blended feeding feel more achievable and less overwhelming.

Whether a family is new to blended diets or looking for fresh recipe ideas, the book aims to provide structure, confidence and encouragement throughout their journey.

What’s inside?

• 75 purposeful recipes for tube-fed children.

• High-calorie and low-volume options.

• Reflux-friendly recipes.

• Dairy-free recipes.

• Recipes to support constipation and hydration.

• Practical guidance for preparing, blending and storing feeds.

• Real-world tips from a parent with years of hands-on experience.

A collaborative approach

We believe the best outcomes are achieved when families and healthcare professionals work together.

Families are encouraged to discuss any significant dietary changes with their dietitian or medical team, particularly where there are complex medical conditions, allergies or specialist nutritional requirements.

Why professionals recommend the book

Many healthcare professionals recognise that parents often need practical resources alongside clinical guidance. This book bridges that gap by combining everyday experience with an organised collection of recipes that families can confidently adapt with professional support.

Helping families feel empowered

Our goal is simple: to help families feel less alone, more informed and better equipped to provide nourishing blended feeds while continuing to work in partnership with their healthcare team.
