SimplyThick EasyMix Food & Beverage Thickener

For anyone managing dysphagia, the difference between a safe swallow and a risky one often comes down to consistency. SimplyThick EasyMix is a clear, gel-based thickener that blends instantly into hot or cold beverages and foods without the grainy texture, clumping, or continued thickening that powder-based starch thickeners are known for. It holds its consistency over time, so a drink prepared at breakfast won't turn to sludge by mid-morning — and it stays taste- and odor-free, so coffee still tastes like coffee.

Consistency levels here follow IDDSI-aligned language you'll recognize from a speech-language pathologist's recommendation. Nectar (Level 2) pours slowly like a thin syrup, honey (Level 3) drips off a spoon, and the pump bottle can be dosed to reach nectar, honey, or even pudding thickness depending on how much you dispense. The 6-gram nectar packets and 12-gram honey packets are portioned for a single serving, which takes the guesswork out of per-drink dosing and travels easily. Need volume for a household or care setting? The 1.6-liter pump bottle and bulk 48- and 96-gram packets are the practical choice.

A few things buyers ask about most: EasyMix is gluten-free, adds only about 5 calories per serving (the Slightly Thick / Level 1 packets are 0 calories), and is unflavored so it works across drinks, soups, and purees. It's approved for ages 12 and up. Because it's a xanthan-gum gel rather than a starch, it won't keep thickening in the cup — pour it, wait a moment, and it's ready.
