Menu ideas to enjoy for a June snack activity (for seniors)

June brings higher temperatures and sticky humidity.

Staying hydrated is important, but as we age, our body’s temperature regulation declines, and some people find it harder to feel thirsty.

How about using a snack activity to help make up for often-lacking hydration and nutrition? Here are recommended snack activities for seniors in June.

These options not only provide fluids but also help supplement nutrients that are often missing from regular meals.

We’ve gathered snacks that are easy for seniors to eat, as well as treats tied to June-themed observances like Wagashi Day and Parfait Day.

Enjoy the process of making them while sparking conversation—it’s also a great way to support communication between staff and other participants.

Give them a try!

[For Seniors] Snacks to Enjoy in June Activity Sessions (31–40)

Protein-rich! Wheat gluten honey snack

Protein-rich! Wheat gluten honey snack

Fu is usually rehydrated in water before use.

It’s often added to miso soup, but here’s a snack that uses fu as-is without soaking.

Place fu in a heated frying pan and dry-toast it.

Once well toasted, melt in some butter and toss to coat, then add honey and coat again.

Finish by dusting with kinako (roasted soybean flour) and mixing to combine.

The gentle sweetness of the honey, the nutty aroma of the kinako, and the light, crisp texture make this a snack you won’t be able to stop eating.

It does use the stove, but it’s simple enough that older adults can give it a try.

Using a variety of colorful fruits makes them look festive!
