Whole‑Food Blends for Tube Feeding by Blended by Sarah
Blended by Sarah (formerly Wholesome Blends) is Australasia’s first and leading provider of commercially sterile, shelf‑stable whole‑food blends designed specifically for tube feeding. Founded in 2018 by Sarah Thomas, a Brisbane mum inspired by her twin son’s enteral feeding journey, these blends bring real food back to the table for those using bolus feeding methods.
Crafted in collaboration with executive chefs, dietitians, nutritionists, and food technologists, each pouch features clean, naturally balanced ingredients—think vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, and ethically sourced proteins, all blended to a silky‑smooth, tube‑friendly texture with no preservatives, added sugar, dairy, gluten, soy, or artificial additives.
The range of vibrant flavours—from Savoury Super Greens to Cherry Cacao and Pumpkin Spice—delivers nourishing, high-calorie meals (typically around 300–350 kcal per 280 g pouch) that meet IDDSI Levels 2 & 3, making them suitable for nasogastric and gastrostomy feeding routines.
Blended by Sarah is proudly Australian‑owned and operated, using locally sourced ingredients and distributing both nationally and internationally from their Brisbane base. These blends are also endorsed on the NSW Health Enteral Feeding contract for both hospital and HENS home care use.
