Entrepreneur Bernadette Eriksen is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Flavour Creations, a Brisbane-based $20 million food manufacturing company that researches and develops innovative dysphagia and nutrition products intended to support a healthy lifestyle and improve the lives of thousands living with dysphagia.

The festive season is about celebrating together, and with Instant THICK, everyone can enjoy their favourite drinks safely.

For those living with dysphagia, hereโ€™s a simple way to enjoy a cold beer:
1. Pour the beer into a glass. We recommend ###X Gold for a true Queensland experience.
2. Add Instant THICK Liquid. Follow our Dosage Guide for your desired IDDSI level.
3. Stir gently for 30 seconds, then allow it to stand for 2 minutes. Re-stir until the correct consistency is reached before serving.

Enjoy responsibly. Sip slowly and savour the moment.

Pro Tip: Add a pinch of sugar to the beer before stirring in Instant THICK Liquid to help settle some of the bubbles.

Worldwide Pressure Injury Prevention Day ๐ŸŒ

Pressure injuries affect millions, but with the right nutrition and hydration many can be prevented!

Here are our top 3 nutrition tips for preventing pressure injuries:
๐Ÿ’ง 1. Stay Hydrated
Drink 2-3L of fluid/day to keep skin healthy and prevent it from becoming dry and prone to breakdown.

๐Ÿฝ๏ธ 2. Prioritise Protein:
Protein helps repair and strengthen skin. Think lean meats, dairy, or plant-based options to keep skin strong and resilient.

๐Ÿฅ— 3. Get Your Essential Nutrients
A balanced diet rich in Vitamins A, C, and zinc are key for maintaining skin health. Add plenty of fruits, veggies, and whole grains to your meals! Or enjoy Complete Nutrition Powder once per day.

By focusing on hydration and a balanced diet, we can reduce the risk of pressure injuries and promote overall health.

Highlights this year included our latest innovations:
โ€ข SCREAMIES No-Melt Sorbet
