Some seniors may be in a bad habit of not eating breakfast, but it can be important for seniors to eat breakfast. Sometimes a senior does not know what to eat, they can’t cook as well as they used to, or they don’t like eating in general and all of this can make it hard to age in place. Veterans care at home providers can help your loved one with cooking, preparing meals in advance, and reminding them to start their day with a well-rounded breakfast.
Here are some ideas on what your senior loved one could start eating in the morning, and they are all things that veterans care at home can help your loved one make and enjoy.
Scrambled Eggs
Eggs are a staple when it comes to breakfast, but there are so many ways to spruce it up and make it different. Your senior loved one may enjoy eggs with pesto, tomatoes, and spinach, which is one of the best ways to get tons of nutrients, and health benefits, and it tastes delicious. Eggs are low-calorie but packed with protein that will help keep your seniors full for longer and fuel their bodies, helping them stay energized for any upcoming tasks. Spinach is a dark leafy green that is filled with vitamins and minerals your senior needs to thrive while aging in place, and tomatoes have a nice flavor with tons of vitamins that can help boost your loved one’s immunity. Not only is this a super tasty meal to enjoy, but it takes just a few minutes to whip up for them to eat, making it something personal care at home can easily help with.
Avocado Toast
There is so much hype in the health world about avocado toast, but there is not enough because this is the ultimate dish for seniors. By choosing whole wheat bread, avocados, eggs, and spinach your senior is not only getting a super filling meal, but it is packed with protein, healthy fats, and minerals they need for the day. Your senior loved one should be focused on eating healthy fats and avoiding saturated fats which makes avocados the perfect choice for them. This meal will help them become energized and allow them to thrive while aging in place. It will help them build strong bones with the proteins from the eggs, and maintain eye health with the avocado minerals.
Divulge In a Breakfast Burrito or Tacos
No matter how old you are, breakfast burritos or tacos can be a winning dish. It is as healthy as you make it. You can add eggs, turkey sausage, tomatoes, onions, and some avocado. You can make it lower calorie by doing tacos or higher calorie by using a wrap, it will all depend on your senior loved one’s health goals. This dish can be used for weight loss, weight gain, or to maintain a healthy weight by adding in the right number of calories. This is filled with protein and immense flavor that your senior loved one is sure to enjoy. It is another dish that can be made in just a few minutes with the help of personal care at home.
