PALS here. I'm trying to solve a conundrum regarding food.
My husband transfers me from bed to my recliner at 6am when he gets ready for work. My caregiver arrives around 10:30. They will prep me a calorie-dense smoothie which is enough to keep me satiated until dinner.
But lately I've been feeling very hungry at 6am, and I'm looking for ideas for a one-bite snack.
I have very limited use of my hands. A hard-boiled egg would be perfect except I can't grip it. My husband is busy getting ready for work so he can't stand there feeding me. We also both share concerns about me eating solid foods unsupervised due to the possibility of choking. (hasn't been an issue yet, just being cautious.)
So far, the only thing I can think of that fits all parameters is a glass of kefir or some other yogurt based drink.
Any other ideas?
