TASTY FORTIFYING SNACKS IN CASES OF ILLNESS AND MALNUTRITION
AWARDWINNING RECIPE
Available from: (Logo and Business name)
NUTRITIONAL CAKE CUBES AND EASY-TO-EAT
8 GRAMS OF HIGH-GRADE PROTEIN PER HELPING! WEIGHT LOSS IS NOT ALWAYS DESIRABLE. ON ACCOUNT OF ILLNESS, AGE OR LACK OF APPETITE, THE SCALES MAY PROGRESSIVELY INDICATE A BIT LESS. THIS UNINTENDED LOSS OF WEIGHT IS ACCOMPANIED BY A LOSS OF MUSCULAR TISSUE, WHICH WILL LEAD TO A DECREASE IN MUSCULAR POWER, TIREDNESS AND A REDUCED RESISTANCE TO ILLNESS. THIS PROCESS CAN BE COUNTERACTED BY A DIET RICH IN PROTEIN. An extra meal or a few additional snacks rich in energy and protein go a long way to solve the problem. Besides, the Nutritional Cake Cubes and Easy-toEat prove that these snacks can be quite tasty, too. Nutritional Cake Cubes look and taste like small cakes and are available in four different flavours. Easy-to-Eat was specifically developed for people who have difficulty swallowing. They will enjoy this delicious dairy product that melts in the mouth to make swallowing easier. Easy-to-Eat is available in two flavours: raspberry and tropical fruit
BECAUSE OF THEIR HIGH CONCENTRATION OF PROTEINS (8 GRAMS PER HELPING), NUTRITIONAL CAKE CUBES ARE IDEAL IN CASES OF (IMPENDING) MALNUTRITION. THEY PROVIDE A BOOST FOR THE PHYSICAL CONDITION AND STIMULATE RECOVERY. HOWEVER, NUTRITIONAL CAKE CUBES ARE NOT JUST DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS. ABOVE ALL THEY ARE CAKES AND THEREFORE REAL TREATS, IDEAL TO BE SERVED WITH COFFEE OR TEA, OR AS DESERTS.
SMALL, BUT TASTY Nutritional Cake Cubes are made of a fluffy pastry and contain soft and creamy fillings in forest fruit, chocolate, banana or strawberry flavours. They are a bit smaller than ordinary cakes and can best be compared with petit fours. Therefore the Cubes are very suitable for persons who want to eat at regular intervals during the day, but cannot face the idea of large helpings or filling food.
EASY TO EAT The Cubes are soft, so that people with moderate swallowing problems will also be able to enjoy them. For those who find swallowing more difficult, or who can only take viscous foods, there is Easy-to-Eat.
MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE PROBLEMS SWALLOWING WILL LOSE THEIR APPETITE. THEY ARE TOO TIRED TO EAT, OR THEY EAT AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE, SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID THEY WILL CHOKE ON THEIR FOOD. AND PERSONS WHO HAVE DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING ARE THE ONES THAT ARE IN NEED OF ADDITIONAL NUTRIENTS, AMONG WHICH PROTEINS. EASY-TO-EAT WAS SPECIALLY DEVELOPED FOR PERSONS WHO HAVE DIFFICULTY SWALLOWING OR WHO CAN ONLY EAT VISCOUS FOODS.
Because of its high concentration of protein (8 grams per helping), Easy-to-Eat contributes to preserving physical fitness and resistance to illness. Easy-to-Eat can be consumed several times a day, for example as a tasty snack, or a desert.
A REFRESHING DAIRY PRODUCT, PLEASANT TO EAT Easy-to-Eat is a refreshing, mouth melting dairy product, rich in protein and available in two natural pulped fruit flavours. Easy-to-Eat goes down like a treat as it requires hardly any swallowing effort. It leaves a fresh feeling in the mouth and is therefore the ideal snack after nasty tasting medicines. Easy-to-Eat is produced on the basis of strictly natural ingredients, does not contain any additives and is gluten-free.

WHAT MAKES PROTEINS SO IMPORTANT? Proteins are essential for growth and development, they help to develop and maintain the body. Proteins supply energy and building material to maintain the muscles, to produce new tissue and blood vessels. Proteins play an important role in recovery processes, for example after injuries. Proteins are important components of the mechanism that offers protection against illnesses. Proteins contribute to the formation of strong bones Proteins are needed for the transportation of foodstuffs around the body Proteins are necessary for the production of hormones. Persons who are ill or undernourished are in greater need of proteins than persons who are in good health.
