Nourishment Notes

Beans

Mild-tasting protein sources, such as beans (edamame, kidney, and garbanzo), are typically well-tolerated when experiencing taste changes. Beans are also a great source of lean-protein to help your body build new and healthy cells.

Lime Juice & Lime Zest

Citrus foods, such as limes, lemons, or oranges, can help add flavor to dishes when foods may taste bland.

Cold, Uncooked Foods

Cold foods that aren’t cooked, such as salads, smoothies, yogurt and fruit, are typically well-tolerated in patients experiencing altered taste.

Fatigue Buster

  • Lime Juice

    Use bottled lime juice instead of squeezing your own.

  • Onions

    Look for pre-sliced onions in your local grocery store to save time chopping.

  • Ask for Assistance

    Ask a friend or family member to help make this dish.
