  • I am Garbine Muguruza and this is everything I eat in a day.

  • So the first thing I do when I wake up is I go straight to my coffee machine to prepare my long black coffee.

  • I'm a big coffee drinker, so I need that before anything else.

  • So after I had my morning coffee and I am awake, I would start preparing my regular breakfast.

  • As a tennis player, obviously I need a lot of energy.

  • So my typical breakfast would be a big bowl of oatmeal, and I would add some protein powder, blue berries, strawberries, some honey, and I would mix it all up with some almond milk.

  • Because that gives me a lot of energy the entire morning, which is you know my most strong moment of the day, and I would finish it up with some multigrain toast with cream cheese that I love. That would be my regular breakfast.

  • But there is a few days of the year where I can you know allow myself to eat everything that I don't eat during the year, and then I would have some pancakes or French bakery that I love. But that's few days of the year only.

  • During my morning which is pretty long, workouts and exercise usually takes like 4 or 5 hours in a row.

  • I really concentrate on having high energy and to not feel weak, so I almost eat little bites every hour, like a banana and dates. I would eat sports gels.

  • I feel like dates are very interesting because it gives me a lot of energy and it's like a healthy sugar.

  • So I really love them.

  • My typical lunch would be something easy to digest, something that keeps me goingrice, white rice with some vege.

  • I like also to add some chicken and some white fish, like a big plate of colorful and different things.

  • Something that makes you feel full and recharged, but at the same time that allows me to keep going. Usually in the afternoons, I also have to train and exercise, so I wanna eat and feel like ok, I feel good, but in a few hours I can go and run again.

  • I try not eat with a lot of sauces. I feel to go to my bedroom and have a siesta. That's not what I want.

  • In the afternoon, after the whole training and workoutso exhausted, that I always have a protein shake to recover.

  • Vanilla is my favorite flavor, and I mix it up with some cherry juice, which is a very natural antioxidant.

  • I drink it very fast. It feels very good to me and to my stomach.

  • And here comes the good partthe treat of the day. I always eat a piece of chocolate in the afternoon, milk chocolate with some, I don't know, almond.

  • It always gives me like, okay, I need this, this is my treat, and then I have a smile.

  • I am half Venezuelan and half Spanish.

  • From Spain, my favorite food would be jamón ibérico, and also tortilla de patatas, which is a Spanish omelette that have potatoes, onions and eggs. I love that. It's so good.

  • And from Venezuela, I love arepas. It's a classic dish. Everybody loves it. It's like a corn tortilla, and You can fill it up with anything you want.

  • My favorite food city would Rome. I just love Italian food. I love pasta. I love pizza, tiramisu, gelato.

  • I'm not like a big snacker.

  • I feel like I need have everything under control and organized. I feel like I start eating here and there, then it's like nonstop.

  • If I have it yesterday, I can have it today and tomorrow. You know, at the end of the day, I am an athlete.

  • So nutrition is maybe one of the most important parts.

  • So because I took my protein shake, my protien recovery, I don't feel that feeling of "I am gonna eat the world!"

  • And so my typical dinner would be... I love cream, like cream soups and pumpkin soup.

  • I would add potatoes and carrots and leeks and onions.

  • I don't know. It's like a big soup. You feel like good when you have it. Doesn't disappear. You feel it.

  • And then I can add some protein if I feel still hungry or if I have a very strong day.

  • And I also always eat like a yogurt at night when I am watching TV or watching a movie. I just sit there in my couch in my living room and I'm just like eating a yogurt.

  • Before a very important match, I tend to eat less than more, just because you are so nervous and you are so tense that your stomach is just likeit's closed.

  • In general, I feel like I eat everything.

  • But I try to avoid very oily food.

  • I also tend to avoid like sauces, creamy sauces.

  • If you have to find the food in the sauce, then it's like "I gonna pay the price!"

  • I feel like my digestion is gonna take forever.
