Grass Jelly with Berries

Nutritional Value

  • Easy to prepare, can be prepared within 5-8 minutes. Allow patients with low appetite to separate the dish to consume in two meals. May incorporate as snacks between main meals.  
  • Unsweetened Soy milk: replacement of high saturated fat ingredients like coconut milk and cream (~25g saturated fat per 100g), or high sugar content products like condensed milk (~54g sugar per 100g).
  • Also serves as a good quality protein source for all including vegetarians/vegan. Incorporation also further increases protein content of the dish.

*Note: Do not assemble the ingredients (i.e., grass jelly, ORAL IMPACT™ milk and berries) for the 2nd bowl if not for immediate consumption.
