A healthy diet is an important part of a healthy life. Creating nutritious and delicious meals doesn’t have to be a hassle.
Check out GoGoGrandparent’s five easy, healthy dinner ideas that come together in a breeze—so you can get all the nutrients you need without any of the headache.
1. Healthy Homemade Chili
Chili is a hearty, comforting meal that’s packed with nutrients and flavor. It’s one of the best easy dinner ideas for seniors because the pot does most of the work for you.
Even though chili is rich and satisfying, it’s also easy to chew and digest. Choose your protein based on your health needs—ground beef or venison for extra iron, or lean ground turkey for a heart-healthy option.
Beans and tomatoes make the base, but you can find alternative or non-spicy recipes to suit your taste. To make chili, sauté your ground meat, garlic, onion, and peppers. Then add the remaining ingredients and seasonings to a pot or slow cooker. Let it simmer for about 30 minutes until thick, stirring occasionally.
Top it off with sour cream, cheese, tortilla strips, or chopped veggies for extra texture.

2. Fish and Veggies
Fish like salmon is full of heart-healthy omega-3s. Add some roasted veggies for a balanced dinner that’s as nutritious as it is delicious.
This one-pan meal is a GoGo favorite—it comes together quickly, requires little cleanup, and fits just about any dietary plan.
Simply place a marinated salmon fillet on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Add your favorite veggies, a drizzle of olive oil, and a squeeze of lemon. The flavors blend beautifully as everything roasts together.
