Thank you for this article. Excellent suggestions. Economical, healthy and tasty foods. I like your.ideas for those days when you are not really interested in eating. 🙃
Quinoa is a complete protein (has all nine essential amino acids). Looks and cooks like a grain, but it’s a seed. I usually use it in lieu of rice. Not as tasty, but I do my best by cooking it in a rich veggie broth and add some peas.
I like to make a nice quinoa dish as you do with broth and stuff it into squashes. But my favorite is to cook it as a hot cereal & add nuts and yogurt or an almond milk and fruit. It's pretty tasty!
Thank you. This is clearly explained and feels doable for me. I’m 76 years old and hate to cook meals with many ingredients or even bake, but I can easily switch to many of these. I actually prefer healthy foods like you listed but felt overwhelmed by all the confusing complicated senior diets. I’ll go back to using my crockpot to fix protein /fiber meals.
Thank you! You’re right to ignore the complicated “senior diet” noise. Simple protein + fiber done consistently is what matters, and a crockpot is perfect for that. You’re doing it the smart, sustainable way.
I think this is a great article . I’ve done a few things. Cook up some hard boiled eggs and have them throughout the week in the am. Definitely holds you for awhile. Cooked oatmeal can be reheated if you make alot. Baked beans with hotdogs are yummy. I use Metamucil daily and restorafiber. These little changes make a difference. Jennifer
Very clear article, immediately had a greek yoghurt with blue berries and almonds for breakfast. Plus I was reassured about my eatinghabits. Thank you 🤗

Great ideas. I packed Greek yogurt with chia seeds and protein powder, and one fruit cup divided among the three with a dash of cinnamon on top.
