Protein yoghurt

Double cream is 48% fat content.

You can whizz it up with some fruit and protein powder.

Mascarpone is also about 50% fat and 3-6% protein, add some to cream or cheese sauces etc. Something like steamed fish with a mascarpone-based cheese sauce would be quite light and tasty, but high in protein and fat. Wrap in puff or filo pastry to make a pasty or savoury mille-feuille if you want to add some carbs.

A dollop of cream in porridge for breakfast, another dollop on a scone for afternoon tea, maybe another dollop in a hot chocolate at bedtime.

Old cookery books had entire sections on 'invalid cookery' comprising light digestible meals for building you up in convalescence. The modern equivalent is food fortification / fortified diet and there are guides and recipes online eg this one (intended for care homes, but relevant) or this one

Thanks for that link Gers.

I'd avoid dairy like the plague, it's so wrong that even Dr's say it's good for preventing Osteoporosis etc when it's likely to cause it & unbiased studies back that up. I'd personally avoid any animal based products and go for high protein plantbased, after all, protein originally comes from plants. Sad to say, the person i'd least take nutrition advice from is a medic, as they still push meat for protein, dairy for calcium etc to cause disease as pharmaceuticals is big business


Look into unbiased studies eg The China Study or read How not to die

If you can get a copy of the Glasgow Cookery book from the library it has a section on recipes for helping an invalid recover (its an old school text book that they still update and print).
