What are some good healthy recipes that seniors can easily prepare at home?
Here are some of the most simple and easy-to-make foods that I like very much:
1. One-Pan Salmon and Vegetables
This food is so simple that it hardly qualifies as a recipe. It has flaky, pink salmon, a low-calorie protein source rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids and energy-boosting B vitamins.
You can use this “non-recipe” in many ways. Replace salmon with tilapia or trout, both of which are flaky fish, and you’ll get the same taste. Replace the veggies with whatever you have, or add potatoes for a heartier dish.
2. Tomato Tart
If you’re searching for a fast meal that’s high in vitamins and minerals, this is the one for you! There are a lot of fresh, colourful ingredients in it, so even picky people will enjoy it.
3. Roasted Root Vegetables
People can use root vegetables like sweet potatoes, beets, parsnips, and carrots in many ways. They include a lot of fibre and antioxidants, and some of them were proven to help maintain blood sugar levels stable as part of a diabetic diet plan. Another thing that makes them so tasty is that they’re just as easy to make as roasted potatoes.
A note: This food requires cutting up hard vegetables, which some older people may not be able to do.
4. Berry Chicken Salad
If you have leftover shredded or chopped chicken that you don’t want to throw away, this simple dish for senior citizens turns it into a salad with fresh, antioxidant-rich berries.
