At 47, Gwyneth Paltrow is thriving. Her skin is glowing, her hair is shiny, and she looks incredibly fit. So its only natural to wonder what she eats on a regular basis. Is she living off an all-organic diet, with a few jade egg-level unusual foods in the mix? Does she secretly eat total junk?
Paltrows former personal chef, Kate McAloon, revealed in a 2017 interview that her family eats as healthy as youd expect. They are very strict. They avoided any sugars, anything sweet, no dairy, just more vegetables, McAloon said. But, she ended up bending the rules a little. When I got there I was trying to stick to the brief and I realized as I started adding more ingredients in, they said, Your food is getting better! she recalled. Thats what happens when you eat more than grass.
Now, in a new video with Harpers Bazaar, Paltrow says she has pretty much become more of an omnivore. Heres what the Goop founders diet looks like in a typical day.
Paltrow told Harpers Bazaar that she starts her day with a large glass or two of water. Then, I sit down with my computer at the kitchen table before the kids wake up, she said. Next up is coffee and some quiet time with her husband as they look ahead to their workday.
Im not a big breakfast person, Paltrow said. Ill eat brunch sometimes late on a weekend but, after I take my kids to school, I go straight to the gym and I always have a big thing of water at the gym.
Paltrow said she puts two GoopGlow super powders into her water for vitamin C and for skinits like my morning orange juice.
Paltrow said on her Goop podcast in 2018 that, on a normal day, Ill have a smoothie for breakfast. She tries to find something that has good fat, protein, and fiber. Among her go-tos: A cacao and almond butter smoothie with spinach and protein powder. If shes in a rush, shell have a peanut butter protein bar.
Paltrow said this is very rare these days but, if she has a hangover, she told Harpers Bazaar that she tries to have an egg sandwich or something that will help me through it.
Paltrow told Harpers Bazaar that shes big on a salad with some protein, although sometimes shell eat something thats being tested in the Goop kitchen, like a turkey burger wrapped in lettuce.
Usually around three or four, Ill hit the snack cupboard at the Goop office, Paltrow said. There, shell grab something salty and crunchy, like cashews or pretzels.
She also likes to have a cup of green tea. That will hold me through til dinner, she said.
Paltrow said on her Goop podcast that shes a little looser with dinner. For dinner, I have whatever I want, she said. But I do always try to avoid highly-processed foods and high-fructose corn syrup.
I cook every weekend, but during the week, its hard because of my job, she told Shape. I have a bunch of chicken dishes and pasta go-tos, and I do a lot of stir-fry for the kids. I always keep cooked brown rice in the fridge. Then it takes two minutes to chop up some vegetables, make a nice sauce, and youre done.
Shes also into one-pot dinners, like chicken in a Dutch oven with root vegetables and potatoes underneath. I like to eat dinner on the early side, she told Harpers Bazaar. Ive gotten real geriatric about that 6:00, 6:30 dinner.
I love French fries, which is a well-known fact, Paltrow said. French fries are sort of my favorite meal. Theyre technically a side, but I guess I could eat them for a mealand I would.
And, like the rest of us, sometimes she needs a nightcap. Ive been trying not to drink so much on weeknights, because its such an easy habit to fall into, Paltrow said. But sometimes, work is tough, and you just need one. Her drink of choice: a Gibson, (a vodka martini with cocktail onions) or whiskey on the rocks.
Because she eats such healthy meals, Paltrow says she can feel it after indulging in processed foods and booze, per a 2017 interview with Womens Health. But at the same time, you want deliciousness, you want a fun lifepleasure! Youre going to have a baguette-and-cheese-and-red-wine frenzy sometimesbut you want it to be a choice youre awake to: I know this might not make me feel great, but today Im choosing it anyway.
