Crispy Melts
👩🍳 The only solid food choice proven to benefit adults with chewing or swallowing disorders
🙋🏻How many times have we been to restaurants and parties where guacamole and chips was met with ravenous fingers and was truly a conversation starter? You can return that fiesta feeling with a puree texture guac paired with our Cheese Crispy Melts! Here’s how:
🌿Ingredients:
- ¼ cup + 1tbsp olive oil
- 1 clove of garlic
- 1½ limes worth of juice
- 4 green cherry tomatoes
- ¼ cup cilantro
- 2 green onions coarsely chopped
- 1 jalapeño charred, skinned, and with the seeds removed (optional)
- Salt to taste
- 1 ripe avocado
🤓Instructions:
Mix all ingredients in a small blender except the avocado. Chop avocado and blend with the other ingredients until smooth. Want to ensure you have a standardized puree consistency? Go to www.iddsi.org to learn how to test a puree texture using the spoon tilt test or fork drip test.
Happy snacking!
Variety is the spice of life and is often lacking in a soft diet!
✅Crispy Melts allows you to safely add back in texture and variety when on puree, minced and moist, soft and bite sized and regular soft diets. Our dry solid crunch gives you the same pleasurable oral sensation regardless of level of texture restriction!
👩⚕Consult a healthcare professional for recommendations based on your personal needs.
Crispy Melts offers 3 known advantages to prepare a person for their swallow that cannot be gained with puree:
1️⃣ Using your fingers to bring food to your mouth
2️⃣ Biting into a solid
3️⃣ Stimulating your mouth to make functional movements
Never before has the hand to mouth and oral experience been possible.
Try Crispy Melts and see how it can improve the oral preparatory phase of the swallow ✨
💙Sharing personal stories touches our hearts and fuels our energy to continue our mission to help people dealing with the emotional burden of a soft diet.
We are always moved by the compassion of caregivers for their loved ones. Often caregivers find us when they are desperate for a solution. We hope more people become aware of this option before their loved one struggles with their soft diet. Please reshare this post with others that would benefit. Thank you Carol for being a part of our journey. 🌟
🥄 Dining health is more than just food on a plate. It's about the emotional connection between what we eat and how we feel.
For individuals with dysphagia, this connection can be strained. The inspiration for our products came from hearing about the frustration and fear that came with a soft diet. Our focus became developing compassionate innovation to improve dining health for a person on a soft diet and their caregiver.
Get ready to embark on a flavor journey. We have a sensational dip that's adjusted for dysphagia diets, and we're thrilled to share the recipe with you!
🍆🌿Ingredients
🔵 1 large eggplant
🔵 2 tablespoons tahini
🔵 2 cloves of garlic, minced
🔵 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice
🔵 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
🔵 Salt and pepper to taste
🔵 2 tablespoons of olive oil (optional)
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Wash the eggplant and pierce it with a fork in several places to prevent it from bursting during roasting.
3. Place the eggplant on a baking sheet and roast it in the preheated oven for about 45-60 minutes or until the skin is charred and the flesh is soft. You should be able to easily pierce the eggplant with a fork.
4. Remove the eggplant from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
5. Scoop out the eggplant flesh and place it in a food processor.
6. Add tahini, minced garlic, a squeeze of lemon juice, and ground cumin.
7. Blend until smooth. You may add olive oil or more lemon juice to achieve your desired consistency - whether it's a smooth purée or a slightly coarse texture. Adjust the seasoning as needed.
8. Serve & Delight with Crispy Melts ✨

👋 Hi! I’m Dr. Reva Barewal, Founder of Savorease Therapeutic Foods.
I know firsthand the physical and emotional challenges of a soft diet, because from birth to age 20, I faced countless treatments for a jaw disorder that changed my relationship with food and developed an understanding of the patient journey.
👩🍳 Later, as an oral and reconstruction specialist and culinary chef, I needed to change the landscape of food options for people confined to soft diets. I recognized the power of food to heal the body and soul.
Through my personal journey and my professional work experience, I have used my passion for science, food, and health to create a truly dissolvable yet crunchy solid that provides healthy nutrition, stimulates the senses, and delights the body and mind. 🍽🌱🧘🏼♀️
Crispy Melts fills the gap in your meal with crunchy textures, and savory flavors, without compromising the need for a safe swallow. We are joining others excited about the new concept of food as medicine. But our focus is dysphagia and the potential for food texture to be therapeutic. We hope to open the door of possibilities for all people managing dysphagia or feeding disorders.
It is so exciting to be a part of a conference with a theme centered around person-centered care and a holistic approach to dysphagia treatment. The goal behind Savorease is compassionate innovation that focuses not only on diagnostic and therapeutic advances but brings joy and dignity back to eating when on a modified diet. Thank you Jonathan Waller, Dysphagia Cafe and Lenox Hill Hospital for recognizing how important it is to treat dysphagia and pediatric feeding disorders with a whole-person impact in mind, and for selecting us as an event partner for this inaugural event.

I have heard so many times to just add sugar if you want someone to eat. But are we doing more harm than good? Regular exposure to truly savory flavors, without confusing your tastebuds with added sugar, helps to increase acceptance of more food choices. But consider these 5 reasons to watch your sugar intake:
🔸1. We don't need it.
About 90% of individuals in the U.S. eat more than the government's 10% healthy sugar consumption guideline
🔸2. Too much sugar can wreak havoc on your body
Studies are showing links between high sugar and depression, joint inflammation, skin aging, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
🔸3. Inclusivity
Making a product that was low glycemic, reduced sodium, non-dairy, and no gluten means that it can fit many dietary needs and makes eating social.
🔸4. Dry Mouth
People with dry mouth are more likely to get tooth decay. Sugar reduction in foods and liquids is key to reducing the risk of tooth loss.
🔸5. Risk of decay with food pocketing
Sugary foods that are not cleared from the mouth, increase acid-forming bacterial growth on teeth and gums which leads to tooth decay.
Savorease Crispy Melts were created as an antidote to the high sugar options available for people on soft diets. Texture and nutrition in one!
❓Did you know that having foods that are shareable and enjoyable for people with dysphagia and their friends and family helps build an inclusive and social atmosphere around eating. This helps to increase food intake.
