Lots of us try to eat healthy. Since it’s still summer, some people may want to keep their meals light but nutrient dense. I have some ideas that I want to share that may interest people, especially if you are looking to try new things and ideas.
Soups and Stews
Slow cooked stews and soups are typically heavier affairs, but the key thing here is that soups and stews are mostly water. They can be lighter if you make them so, and slow cooked meals can be more accessible because there are recipes that require little to no chopping.
Chia Seed Pudding
I have been obsessed with chia seed pudding recently, and even my husband is probably starting to question my sanity. But the reason I think it’s a good option for older adults because it requires no chopping, you just throw everything in a blender. Chia seed pudding is a couple of basic ingredients (milk, honey, vanilla extract and chia seeds) and then you add whatever flavoring you want. I’ve done chocolate and peanut butter, berries, mandarins, and more. After blendinng it, you leave it in the fridge for thirty minutes or more to set. You can make this pudding for breakfast, a snack or dinner.
I have more where this came from, so I will see you all tomorrow!
