SimplyThick EasyMix | 200 Count of 6g Individual Packets | Gel Thickener for those with Dysphagia & Swallowing Disorders | Creates An IDDSI Level 2 – Mildly Thick (Nectar Consistency)

I love that they’re individually packaged, which makes them easy to take anywhere and simple to use. we did use 1 packet in one water bottle and 2 packets for the other bottle that is more full to see what consistency worked best for my grandpa. In our experience, one packet is enough for a regular bottle of water, It all depends on the amount of liquid you’re thickening. If you’re using a larger pitcher or container, you’ll likely need to use more packets. One thing I really appreciate is that these packets are completely flavorless. They don’t add any sweetness or change the taste of drinks at all. I even tasted it by itself because I wanted to make sure it wouldn’t affect my grandpa’s food and drinks. Whether we add it to water, juice, or even soups, it doesn’t interfere with the flavor—it simply thickens the liquid. We also use it in his soups to make them easier and safer for him to swallow, and it works perfectly every time. It’s made a huge difference for someone who can no longer safely drink regular thin liquids due to swallowing difficulties. The cost of $80 for a box of 200 packets, it isn’t cheap. However, considering how well it works and the peace of mind it gives our family, I truly believe it’s worth every penny. If it helps reduce the risk of choking and makes drinking and eating safer for my grandpa, that’s priceless. I highly recommend this product to anyone caring for an elderly parent or grandparent, or anyone who has difficulty swallowing regular liquids. It’s easy to use, doesn’t alter the taste of food or drinks, and has become an essential part of my grandpa’s daily care.

Easy and convenient to use for those with swallow issues. We mix it with a no sugar juice to the desired consistency. It will thicken over time.

Recently, I was told that I was aspirating and this is what they suggested at the hospital! So, I ordered it and have used it. It doesn’t have a bad taste, it just is thick!

Works great for hot or cold liquids specifically and especially coffee and sprite. Also works well in water and other liquids. I use it for my Mom since she has issues swallowing some things. Easy to travel with as well since it is individual packets, best in 8 to 12 oz. Of liquids.

I have to mildly thicken all my liquids and this is the most uniform (smooth, no granular crunches). Coffee is a texture thing for me, but I still drink it; most of the time a cappuccino or something like that. Juices, hot chocolates, non-carbonated drinks (lemonades etc.) are great! Soups are easy, one or two per bowl you're done. All carbonated beverages (pop, beer) just didn't work for me, I just need to mildly thicken my liquids, so I find this one size is much easier to add more packets than to have multiple sizes. You'll gradually get used to the size of your cups and glasses and you won't have to measure every time.

Easy to use, perfect accompaniment for food . Does especially well with coffee and other beverages.

Meets our expectations very well to thicken liquids without any taste> Just open the packet, stir and serve.

Lifesaving

This is way better than the powder version. No grit when stirring, and not cloudy. No taste as well.

You can thicken any drink you like… way way better than the powder form and I like it in the small packets , good for storage and traveling.

Good to have for the seniors

Speedy delivery. Not available in town. Usd to thicken drinks {treats} for person in long term care home

I rated it 4 stars because of the expired date issue. The product itself is great. I purchased 2 boxes with 400 packets without knowing both boxes have only 7 months until the expired date. So if you buy more than 1 box, better ask their expired date before you place your order. Try to ask seller for 1 box with the newer expired date, but seller said we should finish 2 boxes before the expired date or even after the expired date is ok to use it. I’m speechless for seller’s answer. I think that not everyone likes to use expired or near almost expired products.
