Thank you,

 

She is not elderly but was in an accident/abuse.  That is why I care so much and want to help.

Re: Need quick, simple meals

Have you tried Ensure and other nutritional supplement drinks that are designed to add protein and other nutritional elements? They come in many flavors & varieties and you can find it at any drugstore, grocery store, Target, Wal-Mart, etc. You might want to try Ensure Enlive.

 

Here are the varieties: https://ensure.com/nutrition-products?utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=ensure%20drinks&utm_co...

 

Note – at the top, they have recipes, too.

 

Bless you for your kindness!

Re: Need quick, simple meals

Thank you,

 

When you step out to help someone down and you know they have been abused and disfigured it brings the best out of you to help.  I have stopped to pick a man up that fell out of his wheelchair last year.  A man tried to stop me and said he drunk.  I did not care I helped the man back in his chair.

 

I spoke as much as I could with this young woman, to me it looks like she had a BB bat used on.  I have the right people now involved to after the one responsible.  The     hospital is helping me with nutrition.  She is on a liquid diet until her mouth heals.

I did try mashed potatoes and chocolate puddling last night. everything is small portions and nothing that she has to chew.  The pudding seem to help after taking the meds.

Because she can't chew and drink from a straw and eat with a baby spoon there is not many options from a person a person that uses a microwave.  I will add the yogurt, ice cream and peanut butter.

@A60_Chevy I am so glad you have other agencies and services to help you and your friend especially in terms of dealing with her abuser.  I always admire people like you that run toward a situation that most people would run away from . . . good on you my friend.  Heart

Re: Need quick, simple meals

It sounds like a horrific situation, and you're a sweetheart for helping her.

I really do think Ensure, etc is best for right now. It's smooth, has necessary nutrients & there'd be no little bits to get stuck here or there.

 

JELLO used to have a wonderful custard flavor, and you can add extra egg yolks for richness.

If you're pressed for time, KozyShack can be found at nearly every grocery store. Lots of flavors.

Good luck!
