Thick-It
Thick-It Puree Mixed Fruit and Berry is a delicious and easy meal-time treat specifically designed for those who experience difficulty swallowing. Developed by a registered dietician and made with real fruit varieties, each ⅓ cup serving size has 50 calories and 11 grams of sugar. This pureed texture meets Level 4 guidelines for dysphagia diet standards (IDDSI), making this a convenient option for bringing nutrition to those with swallowing disorders or anyone on a restricted soft foods diet. Level 4 foods are described as smooth, moist, and thick enough to hold shape on a spoon or plate. These foods do not require chewing, nor do they have separate thin liquids and can not be poured. The liquid is bound to food pulp during the pureeing process, meaning that liquid won’t separate from the food and become difficult to swallow. Thick-it Puree meals are specially designed to be smooth and ready to swallow, minimizing the risk of choking. Made with real fruit such as peaches, apples, blueberries, cranberries, and cherries, Thick-It Mixed Fruit puree offers a convenient, microwaveable mealtime treat. Designed to be healthy, tasty, and easy to use, the pureed consistency makes it easier to swallow and digest. Caregivers enjoy the fast, easy-to-use puree options available which save time and energy with meal preparation. With consistent texture and nutrition in every serving, caregivers can confidently serve their loved ones comfort foods that will be good, fulfilling, and help satisfy their taste preferences and nutritional needs.
