Can you use liquid hope in smoothies?
Liquid Hope tastes like a sweet pea soup or can be made into a smoothie using pineapple juice. Adding coconut water works well, too. The product may be used as a soup base. With the addition of other savory ingredients, properly pureed, one can change the flavor. It is not difficult to imagine adding pureed steamed veggies to the soup. This will provide variety and give the user control of the diet, effectively eliminating patient boredom and frustration. This greatly increases the positive psychological element of feeding and nutrition.
Is liquid hope covered by Medicare?
Ms. McGee asks me to inform our readers that if someone uses Liquid Hope for enteral nutrition, it is covered by most insurances including Medicare/Medicaid.

It can include a normal oral diet, the use of liquid supplements or delivery of part or all of the daily requirements by use of a tube (tube feeding).
Can you add coconut oil to liquid hope?
As a suggestion: Coconut oil and avocados may be added to this smoothie, as well as kale or spinach. As Robin says, when using Liquid Hope as a base, you are only limited by your imagination! We here at Essential Puree agree! Before using this product, be sure to check with your doctor, SLP (speech language pathologist), or dietician.
