The nutritional challenge
When eating less can mean receiving less
Reduced appetite can make it difficult for people to consume enough energy and protein, particularly during illness, treatment, recovery or later life.
Traditional oral nutritional supplements remain important, but some people find them too filling, repetitive or difficult to consume consistently.
When portions need to be smaller, every mouthful needs to work harder.

Why Nutri-Ice
Meaningful nutrition in a format patients already recognise
Nutri-Ice combines considered nutritional formulation with the familiarity and enjoyment of real ice cream.
High in energy
Over 300 calories per 100ml serving.
High in protein
10g protein per pot to help support nutritional intake.
Fortified
Contains the proprietary DJK+™ blend of seven vitamins and minerals, each stated to provide more than 30% NRV.
Small volume
Designed to provide meaningful energy and protein in a portion that may be easier to manage for people with reduced appetite.
Made for enjoyment
Developed by chefs using recognisable dairy ingredients to encourage enjoyment and repeat consumption.
Slower melting
Formulated to remain frozen for longer than traditional ice cream, which may be helpful for people who eat slowly.
Suitability
Designed for a wide range of care settings
Nutri-Ice® may be considered for people experiencing reduced food intake or difficulty meeting nutritional needs, as one part of an individual nutritional care plan.
Cancer treatment
Recovery following surgery
Frailty and older age
Dementia care

Neurological conditions affecting intake
Individual suitability, dietary requirements, allergens and swallowing safety should always be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional. Nutri-Ice® is not intended to replace prescribed oral nutritional supplements or professional dietary advice.
Doctor-developed
Created after seeing the challenge first-hand
My Doctor’s Recipe was co-founded by Consultant Oncologist Dr Jon Krell after witnessing how difficult maintaining nutrition can become during illness and treatment.
Nutri-Ice® was created to offer a nutritional option that combines considered formulation with a familiar food patients may genuinely look forward to eating.
“I wanted the very best nutrition for my patients and anyone interested in their own wellbeing.”
Dr Jon Krell, Consultant Oncologist and Co-Founder
