Holiday Treats Made Easy: Texture-Modified Christmas Goodies for Everyone

The holidays bring us closer together, often over shared meals and sweet treats. But for individuals with dysphagia, traditional festive foods might not always be safe or accessible. That’s why GentleFoods offers a range of delicious, texture-modified goodies that bring festive cheer to the entire family.

1. Calcium-Rich Festive Cookies

Our signature rice butter cookies aren’t just a holiday treat—they’re a nutrient-packed delight! Each serving of 4 cookies provides 50% of the daily calcium allowance, making them an excellent choice for maintaining bone health, especially for seniors.

  • For IDDSI Level 4: Simply add 2 tablespoons of hot water to soften the cookies into a spoonable texture that’s safe to eat.
  • For Everyone Else: Enjoy them as-is! These buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are perfect for dipping in tea or coffee, making them a festive favourite for the entire family.

    2. Protein-Rich Ice Cream Treats

    Our festive ice cream range is perfect for everyone in the family, offering indulgent flavours that are both nutritious and delicious.

    • Flavours: Choose from decadent chocolate, salted caramel, classic vanilla, or vibrant strawberry.
    • For IDDSI Level 4 and Above: Smooth, creamy textures make these treats safe and enjoyable for individuals with swallowing difficulties.
    • For Everyone Else: Serve cold or chilled for a sweet holiday dessert that the whole family will love.

    Each serving is rich in protein, making it a sweet and nourishing way to end your meal.

    3. Creamy Avocado Pudding – A Delight for All

    Traditional puddings may not always be the safest choice for individuals with swallowing difficulties. But our AvocadoPudding is a perfect alternative! With its smooth, creamy texture and healthy fats, this delicious pudding is ideal for all family members to enjoy.
