Suggested Flavorings for Nutritional Supplements

Amounts of the following flavorings are for an 8-ounce cup beverage

Chocolate
Add 1 heaping teaspoon or more of chocolate syrup to taste. Brand names: Hershey’s Instant, Nestlé’s Quick and Fountain Chocolate Syrup.

 

Butterscotch
Add butterscotch syrup or butterscotch
pudding mix: 1 teaspoon syrup or 1
tablespoon of pudding mix, stir well and
serve. Try a little brown sugar for more taste.

Malt Flavorings
Purchase at any grocery store in the granular or powder form. Look in the flavoring section of the store. Add 1 heaping teaspoon to the 8-ounce cup, stir well and serve.

Dry Gelatin
Offers a wide variety of fruit flavors: add 1 level tablespoon and stir well. If allowed to sit in refrigerator, it may tend to thicken.

Fruit Juice
Juices are a good addition, however, they add volume to the product consumed: 4 ounces of juice plus 8 ounces of a nutritional supplement = 12 ounces of extra calories and vitamins. Try Kerns Nectar.

Fruit Puree
Add 1/4 to 1/2 cup of canned fruit or fresh fruit (peaches, pears, bananas, etc.) to an 8-ounce can of nutritional supplement, place in blender, whirl and serve.

Extracts
Look for them in the spice section of the grocery store: Vanilla, Almond, Lemon, Orange. Add a few drops only for taste (types and brands have different strengths).

Peanut Butter
For those with no fat restrictions, add 1
teaspoon of peanut butter to an 8-ounce can of nutritional supplement, place in blender, whirl and serve.

Coffee
For the coffee lover, add 1 level teaspoon of instant coffee to a small amount of nutritional supplement and stir. Then add the rest of the 8- ounce can. May substitute very strongly brewed coffee for instant, if desired.

Egg Custard Mix
For eggnog flavoring, add one tablespoon of powder to 8-ounces nutritional supplement. Place in blender, whirl and serve. Try vanilla flavoring and sprinkle nutmeg. Prepare and serve desired amount, may thicken if refrigerated.

Mocha
Add instant coffee and chocolate flavorings.  Cinnamon or nutmeg may be used for a topping; sprinkle lightly.

Shake
Add ice cream or mocha mix ice cream, try adding fresh fruit, too. Place in blender, whirl and serve. Very good frozen for a change.
