Tofu

Tonight's blend:
1/2 package of tofu
2 c soy milk
2 TBPS of canola/olive oil blend
1 avocado
2 bananas
1 c broccoli
1 c oatmeal prepared

We are pushing calories right now!

Half of a banana

Tonight's blend:
4 oz ground turkey
2.5 c soy milk
2 Tbsp almond butter
2 Tbsp flax seeds
1 c oatmeal, prepared
1.5 bananas (his cousin decided he only wanted half a banana)
2 Tbsp agave syrup
1.5 c peas and carrots

About 1600 cals

1600 cals

So we've been pushing 1600 calories a day with Spencer. it's been challenging to get enough cals in without making the blends too thick. Last night's blend:
4 oz cubed steak (He needs more protein)
2 c coconut milk
1 c oatmeal
2 tbsp flax seeds
4 tbsp almond butter
3/4 c carrots
3/4 c green beans
2 tbsp agave syrup

My husband asked how to make the blend, so he might try it for the first time by himself tonight. I'm kind of frightened.

Cookies

Last night's blend:
2 c rice milk
2 c prepared oatmeal
1.5 c mixed veggies
2 bananas
2 allergy free cookies
2 tbs flax oil
1 tbs olive oil
1 4oz chicken breast

Yes, I literally put cookies in his blend.

Tonight's blend:
8 oz apple juice
2 c rice milk
4 c Kix
3 oz skillet steak
1.5 c carrots
1/2 avocado
1 tbs flax oil
2 tbs canola oil

Don't trust other's to make your kid's food.

So don't trust a hospital when they say they can accommidate your child's diet. They can't. I literally had to order from room service:
2 serving on mashed bananas
2 servings of blended chicken
2 serving of peas
2 servings of green beans
2 servings of pears
2 servings of rice.
2 c rice milk

I literally just bolused a few ounces of bananas and some Elecare all night. Super pissed about it, but now I know to bring our own food the next time.

Tonight's blend:
2 c rice milk
2 pork chops
2 c oatmeal
1 banana
1 c peaches
1.5 c mixed veggies
1 tbsp flax oil
4 tbsp of olive oil

I'm still trying to get Spencer's weight up, thus all the extra fat. I'll take it down to a more normal amount after he gains the weight back he lost.

beef him up

Tonight's blend:
1 3 oz pork chop
1 c rice
1.5 c peas and carrots
2 bananas
2 c rice milk
1/2 avocado
like 4 tbs of olive oil

My reasoning for all of the olive oil...Spencer isn't gaining weight. Due to him being sick and figuring out all his food allergies, he's down a pound and a half. He needs to bulk up and fast. I'm going to be a little liberal with the oils and such until he beefs up a bit. It seems like right now he just burns off whatever food we get in him and it's driving me crazy.

Kale

I haven't updated Spencer's blends in the past couple of days because he has just been puking them up. I think the worst of his stomach bug is over and he's kept down this blend today:

4 oz pork chop
2 c rice milk
2 c oatmeal
1.5 c green beans
1/2 avocado
1 banana

Tonight's blend:
3 oz skillet steak
2 c rice milk
2 c oatmeal
1.5 c Kale
1/2 avocado
1 TBSP flax oil
1 c strawberries

I also picked some stuff up at the grocery store for Spencer to try my hand at allergy free baking. We'll see how that goes. I'm going to try banana bread first. I also found some allergy free cookies at Kroger tonight. I'm pretty excited about letting him try one. I tried one and they aren't bad.
