We love Jennifer Garner not just because she is a beautiful Hollywood actress but because she is quite relatable and strikingly unconventional.
The actress often works with celebrity nutritionist Kelly LeVeque so that she can get ready for her movie and TV roles, which included a lot of clean eating.
LeVeque follows the “Fab Four” concept that includes protein, fat, fiber, and green at every meal.
If you check Garner’s #PretendCookingShow on Insta, you will come across all sorts of delicious meals, snacks, and treats that she cooks.
Here’s what Garner’s diet looks like:
Breakfast
- “Fab Four” Smoothie with collagen protein powder, flax and chia seeds, almond butter, almond milk, spinach, ice, and blueberries
- Her favorite Homemade Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal recipe
- Coffee and homemade bagels
Lunch/Dinner
- A monster salad with a mix of green, fresh veggies, a vegetarian fat source, brown rice, chicken, and a simple oil and vinegar dressing
- Soups and Chilis
- Homemade pizza with all the veggies
- Pasta Bolognese
- Anything on the lighter side from an Ina Garten cookbook
- Homemade fish sticks (and probably more veggies)
Snacks
- Popcorn
- Homemade beet chips
- Kid-friendly granola
- Chips and salsa
Indulgences
- Homemade ice cream
- Baked goods of pretty much any kind
- Burger and fries
Lauren reached out registered dietician Lisa Valente who is Cooking Light and EatingWell’s Nutrition Editor to get her thoughts on Garner’s diet and it looked like she is a fan of her eating style too.
Valente said, “I love Garner’s approach to food and cooking. She seems to really enjoy being in her kitchen and making treats from scratch. Then she balances that out with salads, oatmeal and veggies. Don’t change, Jennifer!”
The dietician praised Garner for her healthy diet, as she noted that many celebrities have overly strict and unrealistic eating habits, which require some serious determination and self-discipline to follow the regimen. She added, “Garner is a great example of the fact that indulging once in a while isn’t going to hurt your overall diet. Eating your vegetables is important, but so is enjoying your life and sometimes that means treats with your kids.”
