[For Seniors] Easy Snack Activity Perfect for September

Blueberry muffin

[Chilled Sweets] How to Make No-Mix Blueberry Muffins

Let us introduce a refreshing blueberry muffin that tastes even better when chilled.

Blueberries, which are in season from June to September, are rich in anthocyanins and have strong antioxidant properties.

Because they may help prevent illness and slow aging, they’re an ideal ingredient during seasonal transitions.

To make them, first mix the eggs, honey, baking powder, rice oil, and yogurt thoroughly.

Add plenty of blueberries to your liking, transfer the batter into cups using a piping bag, then bake in the oven to finish.

Since all steps other than baking simply involve mixing the ingredients well, this recipe is also perfect for a snack activity in senior care facilities.

Rich chestnut pudding

[Senior Recreation] Rec Craftsman Series Part 144: Rich and Healthy Soy Milk Chestnut Pudding

Here’s a healthy soy milk chestnut pudding.

Mix soy milk and gelatin, then heat it in the microwave.

The heat will dissolve the gelatin, so make sure it’s fully melted.

Set aside a few candied chestnuts for garnish, and blend the rest in a mixer or with an immersion blender.

If you don’t have one, a mortar and pestle will work.

Combine the soy milk and chestnuts and blend again until smooth.

Once well mixed, pour into your favorite cups and chill in the refrigerator.

If you’re short on time, let the mixture cool slightly before pouring, then use metal containers to shorten the setting time.

Top with the reserved candied chestnuts to finish.

It’s a gently sweet, healthy dessert—give it a try!
