In this Module:
For some people, a full-sized traditional meal can be a daunting sight, often resulting in a meal that’s pushed away and ignored. Introducing alternative meal options that are wholesome, tasty, interesting and appealing to the senses could make all the difference to the way a person approaches their mealtimes. Delicious, aromatic bites, such as flavourful finger foods and small sandwiches are an ideal way to support a person’s independence and self-esteem at the dining table, particularly those who might have cognitive issues or physical conditions that affect their dexterity.
Finger food options throughout the day can also assist in an increase in protein and essential nutrients and aid in the prevention of malnutrition.
