My sister was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer

Hi Don, she is very weak and only able to handle 3 8.5 oz carton of nutrition. Each one has 350 calories and the doctor wants her to get at least 2000 per day. I’m researching how I can make her something in a blender with higher calories. I have to take her on Monday to see her doctors so hopefully I will get the green light to create something for her.

Hi Anita1948, There is a product on Amazon for mixing with milk or protein shakes called NakedMass it comes in a plant base or whey base. One shake is 1230 cals.

What about those Boost high calorie drinks? I’d ask her doctor if they’re okay for her particular situation but maybe something she could “drink” less of with more calories would help. Nestle also makes some formulas to use via feeding tubes that are meant for folks needing additional nutrients and calories.
