Food discoveries: Coconut milk, yogurt and kefir

We suspect that Auggie has milk protein allergies, which is what led us down the feeding tube path to begin with.  This means that cow's milk is out and possibly also soy milk.  One of the greatest discoveries for us has been the coconut products made by So Delicious - yogurt and kefir - we add protein powder to both.  Full fat coconut milk is a great addition to purees.  We also like a vanilla flavored hemp drink made by Trader Joe's. It contains vitamins and calcium and 3 grams of protein per ounce.  We add a teaspoon of rice protein powder, 2 tablespoons of rice cereal and 1 teaspoon of canola oil and heat it up for a delicious calorie packed beverage that is more like a meal in itself.  Auggie sips this beverage from a bottle with a nipple that we've cut a larger hole into.  So far he seems to like the flavor....we'll see how tomorrow goes.
