- I'm Kelly Ripa,
-
and this is everything I eat in a day.
-
(pleasant music)
-
Okay, here I go.
-
I wake up in the morning
-
and the first thing I do
-
is I take a glass of water
-
and I have something called
-
Get Off Your Acid Daily Greens,
-
which is spirulina, spinach, kale,
-
all ground to a powder that you mix into water,
-
and it is for alkalining your digestive system.
-
Then I have a large coffee with ghee
-
and I blend it in the Bullet.
-
And while I'm having my ghee,
-
I have my Persona morning supplements,
-
which is my foundational vitamin,
-
my multivitamin, ginger,
-
and my probiotic.
-
And so that's phase one.
-
Then I host my morning show.
-
You're going to say, "Kelly, do you eat anything?"
-
Not before I talk on the air.
-
So I don't have any sort of chewing food
-
before I talk on the air.
-
When we're finished,
-
what I will have is a green apple, cut up.
-
And then I take two tablespoons of almond butter
-
and a teaspoon of cinnamon,
-
I blend it all together and I put the apples in there
-
and I eat that like a porridge, if you will.
-
And that is my first chewable food of the day.
-
I work out usually after I wrap for the day.
-
I work out seven days a week.
-
My body wants to work out
-
typically when I'm at work.
-
Most people that write into our show
-
or DM us or send text messages
-
or however they communicate with us now,
-
will always say,
-
"Oh, I watch your show while I'm on the treadmill
-
"at the gym."
-
And I think to myself, yes, that makes sense,
-
because I, if we have a holiday long weekend
-
and we have a pre-taped show,
-
I will watch the show while I work out at the gym.
-
Then I move on to what is,
-
what I consider
-
brunch, if you will,
-
because I eat lunch at such a weird hour.
-
It's really like a breakfast lunch.
-
I have a big salad of microgreens
-
with avocado and toasted nuts on top.
-
Sometimes I have pine nuts,
-
sometimes I have pumpkin seeds,
-
sometimes I have walnuts,
-
sometimes I have cashews.
-
Whatever I'm in the mood for.
-
The avocado toast kick of 2015 to 2017,
-
was two years where avocado toast
-
was pretty much the foundation of my diet
-
and I had it with just about every meal.
-
Sometimes I would fry an egg and add that on top,
-
sometimes a piece of cheese
-
would accompany the avocado toast.
-
But the avocado toast was a real staple of my diet
-
and they have one at Cafe Gitane downtown,
-
it's delicious.
-
If you have the opportunity to have their avocado toast,
-
I would take that opportunity.
-
For dinner, I have usually
-
a smaller version of the same salad that I had for lunch.
-
And then I have,
-
either mixed grilled greens
-
or whatever's in season.
-
I try to eat whatever is in season
-
in terms of vegetables
-
and then I have usually
-
some sort of plant protein mixed in there,
-
like a grilled tofu,
-
sometimes I'll have fried tofu,
-
sometimes I have some sort of tahini,
-
and that's pretty much my diet, except for snacks.
-
I have handfuls of nuts,
-
lots of raw cashews,
-
lots of raw almonds,
-
lots of raw pistachios.
-
I never eat more than a handful
-
but I have several handfuls a day.
-
I try not to have that many cheat meals
-
because cheat meals leads to sort of like a cheat lifestyle.
-
At my age, and this is at my age,
-
so if you're younger,
-
enjoy that aspect of your life
-
but at my age now,
-
I find that it takes too much effort to get ready,
-
so I just stay ready, if that makes any sense.
-
On my birthday, will I have cake?
-
Of course, I'm not a monster.
-
At Christmas, do I eat cookies?
-
Yes, I'm a human being.
-
But in general,
-
in general terms, I try not to cheat too much.
-
What I will indulge in
-
is a delicious chocolate covered almond
-
or chocolate covered cashew,
-
some sort of,
-
so I still feel like there's something healthy in there.
-
I also have been making a chia pudding,
-
delicious chocolate chia pudding.
-
And then right before bed,
-
I have a giant ginger turmeric tea
-
and then I take my evening persona supplements
-
which I've recently incorporated a CBD supplement into that,
-
and I truly fall asleep within 25 minutes,
-
so I have to make sure that I'm really ready for bed.
-
Can't be doing homework with the junior in high school
-
and take one.
-
So if you were to ask me this one year from now,
-
I will have three entirely different meals,
-
but it will be the same rotation of meals
-
for just about a year.
-
And that's everything I eat in a day.
-
Now I'm hungry.
