Most care chefs will be familiar with fortifying foods. Often dairy products and whey protein powder are used. But fortifying foods for someone who is vegan, or with a milk allergy or lactose intolerance, may be a bit more challenging, leaving chefs, and even dietitians stuck for alternatives. As the leading authority on nutrition and health advice for older vegans and vegetarians, Vegetarian for Life is here to help.
This guide suggests a number of vegan alternatives that can be used to fortify meals, as well as various fortified recipes, drink, and snack ideas. For each recipe, we’ve included the calorie and protein content per serving.
The publication primarily provides advice for professional chefs and those catering for older people.
