Blended For BC Cancer Oncology Nutrition
Blended For You was developed out of a passion for helping people stay nourished with truly good-for-us foods. The concept of Blended was born from the experiences of Founder, Deanna, developing highly nutritious smoothie blends for two people close to her going through critical health hurdles; her father, who needed to nourish and gain weight for a heart surgery, and a friend with Colorectal Cancer.
Blended For You and the nutrition team at BC Cancer Oncology have collaborated on a support program to help nourish you both during and post treatment. The blends are concentrated, so the preparation is simply adding liquid and blending (shaker-cup with liquid works too). You can also just spoon them straight from the pack.
Recommended Blends
The following blends have been identified as top-pick options for those that are currently in-treatment. These blends have been selected for their high nutrition value, caloric density, higher protein levels, digestibility and ease on stomach.
Depending on the type of Cancer and treatment program, more blends are appropriate. Please reach out to us with questions.
We recommend avoiding blends that include these boosters as their potential impact on chemotherapy treatment is unknown: lion's mane, spirulina, melatonin, chlorophyll, maca.
Post-Treatment
Once you have completed your treatment plan, additional blends can be explored. If you have questions on other blends that you’d like to include in your diet, please let us know and we’ll work with the Blended For You Team to ensure the best choices for your needs and palette are identified.
How to Use
The blends can be blended with liquid (adjust volume to your preference of thick vs thinner) or let soften and then spooned straight from the pack. You can also add to a shaker cup with liquid and shake when smoothie softens.
Recommended Liquids
The Oncology Nutrition team have identified oat, soy, and regular as preferred choices due to their higher caloric content.
