10 Minute Dinners: Easy, Quick and Healthy

One of the most frequent obstacles/challenges we hear from our members at SHIFT is, “I don’t have time to make a healthy dinner.”  With limited time, we often resort to convenience foods, which usually results in a meal that is low in nutrient-dense foods and lacks balance. To help combat this problem, our SHIFT Dietitians have come up with a few tips on how to create balanced dinners that can be made in under 10 minutes!

When producing a quick dinner, first think about the Balanced Plate. Choose from the following categories to achieve a well-balanced meal and aim for the following proportions: ½ Vegetables, ¼ Lean Protein, ¼ Complex Carbohydrates.
