10 Quick and Easy Meals for Seniors

1. Banana Split Oatmeal

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so we’ll start with this quick and easy oatmeal variation.

Start to finish: 3 to 4 minutes Servings: 1 serving 1/2 cup dry instant oatmeal 1/8 teaspoon brown sugar 1 cup water 1/2 banana (sliced) 1/2 cup non-fat frozen yogurt

Mix the oatmeal and salt together in a microwave safe bowl and heat it up for 1 minute on high power. Stir and microwave again for another minute, then stir again. Continue the process in 30 second intervals until the oatmeal reaches your desired thickness. Top the oatmeal with the frozen yogurt and banana slices.

2. Southwest Omelet

An American diner classic, the southwest omelet is a nearly indispensable dish that takes just minutes to prepare.

Start to finish: 5 to 6 minutes Servings: 1 serving 2 medium eggs 1 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil ½ oz. pepper jack cheese (crumbled) ½ oz. salsa or chili sauce ¼ avocado (sliced)

Beat the two eggs. Pour the olive oil in a skillet or pan and set to medium heat. Pour in the eggs, cheese and salsa or chili sauce. When the mixture becomes firm, fold it over and serve alongside the avocado.

3. Southwest Chicken Salad

If you enjoy southwest flavour stylings then this recipe may become your lunchtime go-to. Feel free to substitute your choice of leafy greens to suit your tastes or nutritional needs.

Start to finish: 10 to 15 minutes Servings: 2 to 3 servings 1 lb boneless chicken breast (chopped) 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil 1 oz. salsa 1 oz. thin corn tortilla chips 1 oz. corn kernels 1 oz. black beans (cooked) 8 oz. spinach leafs

Cook the chicken on a medium skillet or pan with the olive oil on medium heat. Add the salsa to the chicken after it cooks throughout and stir. In a separate bowl, toss the spinach, corn, beans and tomato chunks. Serve and top with the chicken, salsa and corn chips.
