It was the one thing she would tolerate at the time for eating/swallowing. She passed! One of our home nurses actually came up with the idea, because when she had spinach for lunch here, would lick the juice off the nurse's fingers and seemed to like it. She would not drink milk, water, juice or anything else; but the spinach juice did the trick for what we needed. Just my 2 cents worth!
