Hi Lyka,

Have you tried making " smoothies " in a blender that she can drink?

For instance, you could combine fresh raw fruits of various types,

cottage cheese or yogurt and a tablespoon of flaxseed oil, which is

a good cancer fighter. This would give her fruit, protein and a healthy

fat. It also tastes good. I make these combinations on a regular basis

using various fruits.

Another suggestion is an easy to digest homemade soup with vegetables

and rice, millet, or some other grain. Again, after cooking, you could

put the soup into a blender or food processor to make it almost liquid.

A slow cooked watery oatmeal is another possibility.

I hope this helps,
