I have very little saliva so it is difficult to eat food. I have concocted a great drink which I take every morning & gives me all the nutrition I need as well as it tastes great! 8 oz. or so of choc. soy milk, soy protein powder, Vitamin Shoppe vitamins & mineral powder, 1/4 c. Shaklee meal replacememt, 1 banana, some choc. syrup, a good amount of vanilla yogurt, then 3 tbs. of peanut butter. Then I take some other vitamins. I am probably more healthy than most people. I have also gained a little weight. Good luck if you try this or some combination of it. It works for me! Jean
