BTW, I found I could make my Nutren 2.0 (oral or tube) drinkable by adding NesQuick chocolate drink powder.

Joined: Nov 2008 Posts: 2 | Thanks for the tip Pete. I have made many phone calls around my area to donate it but no luck so far. My brother is back home in Texas so he does not want it. He is happy to be eating and not drinking these days. I think I will wait a couple more weeks just in case someone on this OCF board can use it.
Regards
Cathy

I'm glad that you said drinkable and not "taste good". I can hardly stand the smell of the Jevity.
