Hello!
I take care of a few hospice individuals and am looking for breakfast ideas! Dietary requirements are as follows:
- low carb
- low sugar
- low dairy
Since most of them have no teeth they need ground/pureed soft food as well (though I can always blender hard foods so I’m not listing it as a dietary requirement, but things like curries or soups are a big time saver for me since I can skip the blender step).
Currently my recipe list is as follows:
- Shakshuka
- Frittata
- Miso Soup
- Gazpacho
- Vegetable/Fruit salads (I don’t have a specific recipe for this so if anyone has one I’d love one!)
I’m not really a breakfast person so I’m looking for some recipe ideas since right now they mostly just get cereal or yogurt every morning which doesn’t really fit the doctors’ orders and has to be pretty boring for them.
not sure about how important/specific the carb requirements are. but lentils don’t have a lot of carbs(relatively speaking) and make for excellent dal. you can have it runny or thick like a stew. you can add a lot of chopped veggies for those who can chew. add eggs for extra proteins.
Just looking for low! Doctor said a piece of toast is okay, but there’s a big difference between a toast slice and a big bowl of Chex mix lol. Thank you for the suggestion!
ETA: also I’m splitting this between six individuals lol so if something is carbs and X I can always add more X so the carbs are lower for everyone as long as it’s not like oatmeal or something that’s like all carbs all the way down lol
