Find your new, easy recipe for low-energy days.
Sometimes, myasthenia gravis (MG) symptoms can make standing up for long stretches of time to prepare a meal feel impossible. On days like that, you need something that cooks up fast without a lot of fuss. When you’re craving a hot and nourishing meal, this recipe is ideal.
This recipe was created by Dawn*, a person living with MG who loves incorporating organic foods, colorful veggies and wild-caught fish into her diet whenever possible. MG United worked with a nutritionist to help make Dawn’s recipe as MG-friendly as possible. In that spirit, this healthy recipe for pan-seared tuna steaks with spinach, tomatoes and mushrooms is both quick and delicious. Another bonus: fish is often softer to chew and swallow.
