Goodbye cravings: here is the satisfying fruit that Blanche Gardin eats in case of late night hunger.

Once night falls, good resolutions are often put to the test. After a busy day, it’s hard to resist the call of the fridge… and yet, we know: late-night snacks are not the best allies for your silhouette. On the contrary, they can become a (bad) habit between sweet cravings and insatiable hunger.

Good news: there are simple alternatives to avoid giving in without frustration. Some tricks help satisfy hunger while limiting excess. Even celebrities have well-established strategies to manage these late cravings without feeling guilty. Blanche Gardin is one of them!

Blanche Gardin’s clever trick against late-night cravings

Celebrating her 49th birthday on April 3, 2026, Blanche Gardin revealed in an interview with Le Figaro her simple trick to avoid late-night excesses. Yes, she also succumbs to evening cravings! But instead of indulging in rich foods, she opts for a much lighter option.

“The refrigerator, for an apple, the old paternal remedy,” she explains humorously. A simple, almost obvious, habit but remarkably effective. “Next to my bed, I have a bowl filled with apple cores,” she adds. A way for her to counter her late-night cravings.

The apple, the ideal ally to satisfy hunger without gaining weight

While this reflex may seem basic, it is actually based on very real nutritional benefits. The apple is known to be low in calories (around 50 calories per 100 grams) while being particularly satiating. As a result, it helps fill a small hunger gap without blowing up the calorie counter.

Rich in fibers, especially pectin, this fruit directly influences the feeling of fullness. These fibers form a sort of gel in the stomach, which helps calm hunger more quickly and sustainably. A real boost to avoid repetitive snacking. The apple is also full of vitamins (A, C, D, E, K, B1, B2…), minerals like calcium, magnesium, zinc, and also contributes to the body’s hydration. So many good reasons to adopt this simple reflex daily!
