Abstract

The present invention discloses a nutritional composition and method of using and making the nutritional composition. The nutritional composition is an intact pea protein based nutrient composition for use in both enteral and oral feeding, and provides a non-allergenic diet for providing optimal nutrition to users. The nutritional composition is made from organic and plant-based ingredients. The nutritional composition has pea protein, phytochemical extracts, fatty acids, organic ingredients free of the top eight allergens and corn, and prebiotic fiber. The nutritional composition is provided in liquid form for enteral and/or oral feeding.
