I have a new med that is a pill but i cannot swallow pills because of a reflex i have always had. what foods would go good mixing a crushed pill in besides applesauce and smoothies?

Would suggest letting your treating pediatrician know as not all pills can be crushed. Some meds are coming in a dissolvable or liquid form and your doc can substitute them if needed.
