2 Top Tips! Nourishing drinks do not replace meals - enjoy them between meals to boost your nutritional intake. If you do not like / tolerate dairy products, try calcium-enriched soya products instead. Try a range of these recipes to find your favourite; you can choose from: Hot and cold varieties Milk and juice-based Biscuit-based Dairy-free Fortified Milk We recommend you replace your normal milk with fortified milk; use in cereals, sauces, custards, soups and drinks. Fortified milk can also be enjoyed as a drink on its own. A 200ml glass provides 175kcals and 11g protein double the goodness of semi-skimmed milk. Add 4 tablespoons of skimmed milk powder (e.g. Marvel, supermarket own brands) to 1 pint of full cream milk and mix well. Store in the fridge and use within 24 hours. Aim for 1 pint each day. 2
