When should you use Delical My Protein & Calorie Mix?
Delical En Cuisine Mon Mix Protein & Calories 360 g is a food product for special medical purposes (DADFMS), designed to supplement the protein and calorie intake of people who are malnourished or at risk of malnutrition. This high-protein, normocaloric powder helps increase the nutritional content of regular meals, under medical supervision.
Its formula provides 19.6 g of protein and 268 kcal per 60 g of powder. It serves as a nutritional supplement when dietary intake does not meet the patient’s needs, particularly in cases of reduced appetite or difficulty consuming sufficient portions.
Thanks to its neutral taste and odor, this powder blends easily into sweet or savory dishes, both hot and cold. Soups, purees, sauces, quiches, and desserts can thus be enriched without significantly altering their usual flavor.
Its composition features an appropriate sodium, potassium, and phosphorus content. It may be particularly suitable for patients on dialysis or those requiring restrictions on fluid and electrolyte intake, following an assessment of their needs by a healthcare professional.
To offer variety in nutritional supplementation formats, Delical HP HC Lactate Drink 4 x 200 ml is also a ready-to-drink option that can be incorporated into nutritional management according to medical recommendations.
How should this protein-based nutritional supplement be used?
The recommended daily serving is 60 g of powder, or 6 level 10-g scoops, to be mixed with 140 ml of liquid or 140 g of the prepared solution. This amount provides 268 kcal and 19.6 g of protein. It should be adjusted to the patient’s nutritional needs, in accordance with medical advice.
To incorporate the powder into your recipes:
- For hot preparations: Add the powder to a warm liquid in your recipe—such as milk, heavy cream, or melted chocolate—then stir.

Our expert tips for using Delical Mon Mix
When appetite decreases, enriching regular meals helps increase nutritional intake without necessarily increasing meal volume. Mix the prescribed amount of Delical Mon Mix Protein & Calories into mashed potatoes, soup, or a cream dessert, focusing on foods the patient enjoys. Dividing the daily amount among several meals can make it easier to use. In cases of malnutrition, regular monitoring of weight and dietary intake remains essential for adjusting treatment. For dialysis patients, the amount of powder and the choice of accompanying foods must take into account prescribed fluid and electrolyte restrictions.
Expert Advice and Recommendations
In dialysis patients, protein requirements increase due to protein losses associated with dialysis sessions and the risk of malnutrition. A high-protein powder helps maintain muscle mass, preserve nutritional status, and promote recovery between dialysis sessions. A formula with high biological value that is low in potassium, phosphorus, and sodium should be chosen to accommodate renal limitations. Its use should be supervised by a doctor or dietitian, taking into account the patient’s total daily protein intake, digestive function, and appetite.
