  • 5 Healthy Recipes for Families During the Pandemic

    15 October 2020


    5 Healthy Recipes for Families During the Pandemic

    The novel coronavirus pandemic has forced governments to enforce lockdowns and self-quarantine measures to prevent the spread of the virus. Because of this, most restaurants and food businesses have temporarily closed or offered delivery or to-go options only. Some have even closed permanently due to the huge loss.

    Even though some businesses can have food delivered, dining in without worrying about a spreading virus and not having to prepare food at home seems like a luxury. Now, people are obligated to buy and prepare food themselves, which can be a little taxing when you have a whole family to feed while balancing work at home.

    Since going out for groceries and cooking food are now a regular part of your new routine, it's essential to maintain proper nutrition and prepare a balanced meal to remain healthy and defend yourself against common illnesses.

    While there's nothing wrong with choosing ready-made meals and processed foods, consider affordable and healthy alternatives, too. Below, we've prepared a list of fun and yummy recipe ideas that won't break the bank and support a nutritious diet you can serve. Let's dive into it! 

    1. Fabada (Spanish pork and beans)

    5 Healthy Recipes for Families During the Pandemic

    Fabada is a typical home-cooked Spanish dish consisting of pork and beans, chorizo, and morcilla (Spanish blood sausage). When recreating it at home, you can replace morcilla with ham—a more accessible and affordable local option.

    Its main ingredient is canned goods, which makes Fabada a budget-friendly dish overall. Fabada is an excellent choice if you're looking for something completely new but still tastes familiar and within your budget.

    2. Fruit Smoothie

    If you're on the hunt for something that can cool you off and, at the same time, bring many benefits to your body, grab some fruits and make a healthy fruit smoothie. You can ask your kids for help in peeling bananas or other fruits, and when it's time to work the blender (a whole lot of fun for the kids!).

    You can also make a green smoothie using spinach, banana, and a combination of mixed frozen fruit to get started. Talk about a healthy and delicious snack or breakfast in one glass! Plus, you can take advantage of fruits that are on sale since it's a flexible recipe.

    3. Calamansi Fish Fillet

    If you're looking for something quick, easy, healthy, and new, try this fish recipe that turns cream dory into a tangy and flavorful dish. Apart from the cream dory, you'll need cilantro and calamansi for the mixture. If you have been practicing your green thumb and have calamansi growing in your garden, that's one less ingredient to buy.

    This dish requires minimal effort, but the outcome is undoubtedly restaurant-quality. If you're looking for low-fat food that will satisfy your family's appetite, consider making this one. You can serve it with rice or steamed vegetables. Whichever one you choose, it's an easy and affordable dish to serve for the whole family.

    4. Pan-fried Chicken Thighs with Pechay

    Pan-fried chicken is arguably a favorite by both kids and the kids at heart. If the whole family is craving some juicy fried chicken with that oh-so-crunchy skin, take it up by pairing it with your local pechay. Add in some chopped bacon to the mix, and it should finally convince your picky kid to eat veggies!

    You can pan-fry the chicken first. Then, cook the chopped bacon and follow it up with pechay. Make sure to season them with ground black pepper to taste. This nutritious meat-and-veggie dish can be served for lunch or dinner. With this, you can have a well-balanced meal on a budget.

    5. Healthy Chicken Burger

    Are you missing your occasional burger drive-thrus or take-outs? Satisfy your burger cravings at home and prepare a healthier one with a patty that's a bit unconventional but can still be a hit with the whole family—use chicken, red mungo, squash, and carrots. Who knew something so nutritious could be this good?

    You can find this healthy burger's ingredients in your local supermarkets. Don't forget to buy cheese singles for that gooey goodness! You can prepare the dish with your kids and have them assemble their own burgers. If you have kids who aren't huge fans of the main ingredients, see how they'll react when they take a bite of it!

    Healthy Meals for a Healthy Family

    Aside from all the other adjustments you're making during the pandemic, figuring out what's for lunch or dinner is a daily challenge that can add to your stress. Take note of the five easy, healthy, and economical dish ideas above, and serve your family good food that provides the nutrition they need, reducing their risk of getting sick.

    BPI AIA provides health and wellness programs amid the COVID-19 crisis. An insurance protection solution like this encourages people to take control of both their health and wealth. Schedule an appointment with our Bancassurance Sales Executive to learn more.
