Making every mouthful matter with Sl? Protein Powders

Sent from Sl?: Drinks Founder. Dysphagia only means drink differently, not have different drinks!
For those with dysphagia, the whole process of eating a meal stressful and exhausting, resulting in a diet lacking in essential protein and nutrients which in turn increase the risks of malnutrition, which is why making the most of every mouthful matters.
The British Nutrition Foundation says protein is essential for growth and repair of the body and maintenance of good health. As well as helping maintain a healthy weight and muscle strength, proteins give the body more energy. They also promote wound healing and bone health, as well as helping the body to absorb key nutrients, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, while promoting better concentration and stabilising blood sugar levels.
At Sl? Drinks, we understand how difficult it is ensuring dysphagia patients and those with swallowing difficulties maintain their nutritional intake.
Consequently, we decided to see if we could help. Using our experience creating nutritional supplements for those with dysphagia (Sl? Milkshakes+), we developed Sl? Protein Powders.
These specially formulated Soy, Whey and Pea Protein powders enable those with suffering with swallowing difficulties and a loss of appetite to increase their protein levels, easily, effectively and safely.
They ensure every mouthful counts by being packed with essential protein. That in turn will help patients stay nourished and eliminates the need to use high calorie fortifiers like full fat butter, creams and oils, which can have a detrimental effect on health.
The Sl? Protein Powders range includes Soy, Whey and Pea Protein powders to accommodate all dietary needs. Tasteless, they dissolve easily in both hot and cold foods, making them a safe and ideal addition to favourite soups, meals and desserts. Boosting protein levels and making every mouthful matter.
Every 15g (heaped tablespoon) will fortify meals with 12g of protein!
Only available to buy from us at the moment – you can find more information about Sl? Protein Powders at www.slodrinks.com/nutrition
It’s a small thing we hope will make a big difference.
