Blending Instructions
This recipe was blended with 150ml water to achieve a pancake batter consistency which yielded 450ml total blend (7.5 x 60ml syringes) however you may find you need slightly less fluid to blend as you become confident administering blends. Always sieve blends until you are confident you are achieving a completely smooth blend with no bits.
Freezing Instructions
This meal works best used on the day you make it and is not suitable for home freezing.
Adding bread to blend made the final blend slightly thicker over time so if you allow it to sit for any time, you may need to add a little more water before using.
