Try childrens yogurts - they should be higher in fat etc than the usual stuff.If you leave them out of the fridge for a short while they won't be too cold for her. Also - there's always homemade soup of course.
I had radiotherapy on my throat some years ago and found this was helpful to me because I couldn't eat anything at all.
Hope she's good agian soon.

Eugh, room temperature yogurt! Sorry, skintmostofthetime, I'm not sure about this one...

OP, I was going to post a few suggestion but as ever the lovely ladies of OS have beaten me to all of them so I won't duplicate. I just want to wish your daughter a speedy recovery.

Build-up might be a better option than Slimfast

Just out of curiosity, why?

Remember when I was working out a lot and trying to put on a bit of weight, I compared a couple of the build-up things to the slimfast and the slimfast ones were better more or less across the board, as far as I could see - was there something I was missing?

Can you try slipping calories into the things she will eat - like a bit of cheese or extra butter into her scrambled egg, or just a teaspoon of double cream ? How about peanut butter ? Someone's already suggested coconut, which is very calorific - lots of nice thai-type soups have it in, or perhaps a coconut ice cream (my local indian takeaway does them - yum) So many ideas on here, but actually if she's barely eating at all, whatever she eats will be fine - poor her and poor you. And there's always chocolate which isn't always the 'Wicked Thing' we are always being told it is !

Greek yoghurt with a little fruit puree mixed in, avocado slices, bananas, a small handful of nuts.
As others have suggested, keep the portions small and attractive looking. Oat bran biscuits with butter and some nice cheddar cheese might also fill a gap for her.

Hoummous ?

Just wondering if anyone knows how Jasmine is.
