Danish Variety Pack – Almond, Apple, Cheese, Raisin (984750 – 60/2 oz)

imes are changing in senior living dining. The typical three square meals served at regular times is being replaced by anytime dining and grab and go as well as 24/7 food availability. Today’s resident desires to choose when, where and what they eat. As you position your dining operation for this resident-focused approach, turn a creative eye to ways you can enhance what you are likely already doing. For example:

Bacon (960480 – 4/3.75 lb) Sausage (961430 – 4/3.75 lb)

Expand your current offerings.

Strawberry Greek Yogurt Parfait (905795 – 2/5 lb)

• Breakfast is well received all hours of the day and is easy to stock. In addition to the basics, consider items such as simple hot breakfast items, sliced fruit and yogurt parfaits. • In addition to a regular sandwich or two on your menu, rotate a weekly, unique signature sandwich. • Create your own delivery concept within your facility for an extra room service touch, such as a pizza delivery option. Transform what you have available into eating opportunities. • Convert your activity space into a coffee shop where bakery items are available when there are no activities scheduled. • Feature a snack cart or rolling cart you may already have into a signature offering such as a hot dog “stand” or an ice cream “truck”.

Capitalize on grab and go. • Many senior living communities have spaces devoted to grab and go items, but staffing is difficult. Consider limiting the time grab and go is available to a couple of hours per day and involve your business office staff or volunteers to oversee it. • As more and more residents these days have refrigerators, offer items such as cold entrée salads and cheese and cracker plates. • Set up a comfortable social atmosphere where guests can enjoy a quick bite to eat with their friends and families.

SENIOR LIVING

Ways to Boost Senior Health Julie Husmann, RDN, LD Martin Bros. Missouri Marketing Dietitian

he concept of living a healthy and nutritious lifestyle is looking less and less like a trend and more like a concept that is here to stay. With research showing that quality of life is related to food choices, older adults are re-defining their idea of a satisfying meal. (Mostly) gone are the days of meatloaf and mashed potatoes as the standard plate. Bring on the salmon and riced cauliflower! 1. Move Over Meat! For the traditional resident, fish is always a great option while going meatless! The Omega-3 benefits of salmon, for instance, include fighting depression, increasing eye health and decreasing the risk of heart disease. Another option is substituting a traditional meat option such as ground beef for a legume like black beans, which increases fiber and improves digestive health.

Aging adults are becoming increasingly tech-savvy and gaining knowledge related to food and nutrition. Senior living communities will be tasked to stay on top of healthy choices offered to residents. What will the plate of the future look like in senior living communities? Here are a few healthy food options that will be in high demand!

2. “Out of the Box” Grain Choices There are less starchy whole grains making their debut into senior living communities. For example, sprinkle chia seeds onto the traditional oatmeal or yogurt to increase heart health, protein and fiber. Or use quinoa, for example, as an alternative base in wraps and bowls and to compliment a protein. 3. Getting Friendly with Fats Heart-healthy fats can improve cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease. Foods high in heart-healthy fats such as avocados, olive oil and nuts are healthy and help create a satisfying meal, too.

5. Value on Vitamins According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, most adults over 50 do not get enough B12, Vitamin D or calcium. Fortified cereals, fish and beef are all fantastic sources of vitamin B12. Dairy products, spinach, broccoli and almonds are all great sources of vitamin D and calcium. Most of these foods are great compliments to an already balanced meal. Senior living communities are hopping on the healthy train one ingredient at a time. Residents may not be too familiar with some of the trendy health foods; however, dietary managers can combat the uncertainty with samplings and

4. Adding Antioxidants Fruits are an often-forgotten key player in improving nutrition! Some may believe that fruits don’t pair well with diabetic considerations; however, it is important not to avoid fruits all together. Fruits such as berries, cherries and apples, for example, have antioxidant proprieties to prevent against cancer and Alzheimer’s disease while improving skin and heart health.

food tastings. Adding some of these nutrient-boosting ingredients on the menu gradually will create a dynamic menu as well as improve residents’ nutrition and quality of life!

SCHOOLS

Red-Orange Vegetable Category Have You Feeling Blue?

Renee Greiner, RDN, LD Martin Bros. Menu Systems Advisor & School Specialist

Vegetable sub categories encourage schools to serve a rainbow of options for students to enjoy. A rainbow of vegetables is a beautiful way to add color and nutrients to a meal. Featuring a quick pop of color with vegetables adds antioxidants such as Vitamins A and C (which can help prevent damage to cells and help with vision), potassium (which can aid in muscle health), phytochemicals (which are believed to aid in cancer prevention)…and much more! By the end of the school year, however, students can grow tired of the same carrot, tomato and occasional sweet potato red-orange vegetable dishes in the lunch program. Try adding new items as the year passes to keep students excited about eating these nutritious vegetables.

Red-orange vegetable ideas to try: • Lamb Weston Sweet Things® Sweet Potato Fries - Mini Tater Puffs® (965128) - Seasoned Concertinas® (965480) - Vanilla Sugar Seasoned (965210)

- CrissCut ® (992480) - Seasoned Wavelength® (998288)

• Baked, mashed or sweet potato fries with plain or BBQ shredded meat or sloppy joe filling and other toppings to create a hearty entrée. • Add diced red peppers or diced tomatoes to your main and side dishes. • Norpac Flav-R-Pac Carrots - Crinkle Cut (963210; 962260) - Sunshine – Orange & Yellow Carrots (999880)
