. That’s why I wanted to always have a few healthy, in the back of my mind—ones that will satiate without requiring too much effort.So I asked expert nutrition coach to help with this dilemma.

I’ve been following her on social media for a long time, and I knew she’d understand how to find simple, practical foods that fit in with the very chaotic, very real life we all lead.Is it really the most important meal of the day?Here’s what she suggested for a quick and healthy dinner option:All you need are three ingredients to make this dish, and all provide the kind of vitamins and calming benefits that are needed at the end of the day.Although there are other healthy dessert options you can have after dinner—yogurt is one of them—Barrous recommends blueberries because the fruit has a low glycemic index, so you’ll avoid a nighttime blood-sugar spike.

Blueberries are also rich in fiber, vitamin C, and potassium and are good for the skin because of the antioxidants they contain.Add these to your grocery list.To make it easier on you, the blueberries don’t even have to be fresh. “They can be eaten frozen as if they were a sweet candy,” Barrous says.
