Complete Blenderized Diet

Medically reviewed by Drugs.com. Last updated on Oct 29, 2024.

What is a complete blenderized diet?

A complete blenderized diet contains only foods that have been blended with liquids. You may need a blenderized diet if you cannot chew or swallow solid food. You may also need to thicken liquids. Your dietitian will tell you what consistency of liquids you may have.

How do I prepare the food?

Use a blender or food processor. Foods may be easier to blend if you cut them into small pieces first. Mix equal amounts of solid food and liquid. Some examples of liquids you can use are milk, fruit juice, and vegetable juice. The liquids should not have chunks or pulp. For example, blend 1 cup of cooked pasta with 1 cup of vegetable juice. If you are blending fruits or vegetables, you can use less liquid. Pour the blended food through a strainer to remove chunks, seeds, and fiber. This will help prevent choking.
