PRIMARY USES

1. Energy-Dense Nutritional Support with Added Healthy Fats from Hazelnuts

The whole hazelnuts add 1.7g protein and 0.8g fibre per serving, contributing beneficial nutrients while the classic Cadbury taste encourages consumption when appetite is poor. Made with a glass and a half of fresh milk from the British Isles and Ireland for the unmistakable Cadbury taste . For the patient, this offers a comforting, energy-dense treat that can help boost caloric intake while providing sensory pleasure.
