Kale to the Chief

1. Place all ingredients in the blender.
    
2. Blend until mixture is completely smooth and liquified–no chunks or large pieces of food should be present.
    
3. If needed, strain to remove any remaining chunks or larger pieces of food.
    
4. Fresh herbs are used to add flavor and aroma, but the use of fresh herbs is optional. Chop herbs finely before blenderizing so they do not clog the tube. If herbs are getting stuck in the tube, omit from the recipes.
    
5. Water may need to be added to the mixture to achieve proper consistency for tube feeding:
   
       − About ½ - 1 cup of water may be added to recipes that use ½ carton of COMPLEAT^® ORIGINAL 1.0 Tube-Feeding Formula.
   
       − About ¼ - ½ cup may be added to recipes that use 1 carton of COMPLEAT^® ORIGINAL 1.0 Tube-Feeding Formula, however you may find that no additional water is needed when using 1 whole carton of COMPLEAT^® ORIGINAL 1.0 Tube-Feeding Formula.
    
6. The nutrient content of COMPLEAT^® ORIGINAL 1.0 Tube-Feeding Formula is included in the Nutrition Information for each recipe. See chart for nutrient content of one 8 fl oz (250 mL) carton.
