Ayesha Curry admits that its hard to find balance in her daily life, so she tries extra hard to make sure her diet stays on track.
I dont know that balance ever really exists when youre trying to juggle work,family, etc. However, I do believe in balance when it comes to food, the chef and ZPA NOMA spokesperson, 28, tells PEOPLE. I believe in enjoying things in moderation. Instead of depriving yourself, just look for healthier options and ways to make things you love in a healthier way.
Curry follows her own advice whenindulging her sweet tooth.
Last night I was craving brownies. To fill that craving I made gluten-free brownies with raw cacao and opted to use coconut oil, she says.
And shestays active with exercise five to six days a week.
I am someone who really needs variety in exercise, says Curry. One day I may go to a spin class or to kickboxing. Recently Ive also gotten into agility trainingits intense! I look for exciting, fast-paced and fresh ways to incorporate exercise into my routine. For days that I am not in the mood to work out, I may take the girls [daughters Riley, 4, andRyan, 1] for a walk to make sure that I get moving.

Even though Ayesha is a chef, she has amazing easy dishes like homemade whipped cream and berries, and grilled chicken with sweet potato, saysChicago-based dietitian Dawn Jackson Blatner.
