- I'm Olivia Culpo
and this is everything I eat in a day.
(book pages flipping)
I'm a breakfast person,
I have to eat breakfast in the morning,
even if it's just a bar or half of a bar.
I have to eat something partially
because I take a lot of vitamins,
so I feel like I'll throw up if I don't eat.
And also it wakes me up.
I have a few go-to's.
I really love an egg white omelet
with spinach, tomato, and mushroom,
and then avocado and toast.
I feel like I have to have to have fat in the morning
because I take a lot of fish oil,
so it's something that you have to take together.
Just good for vitamin absorption basically.
I also love peanut butter and jelly,
getting the fat from the peanuts.
And the other thing that I absolutely love are Perfect Bars.
If I'm in a rush, they're so good.
You have to keep them in the refrigerator,
but you can travel with them
and put them in the refrigerator.
There's a lot of fat and it's good fat.
If I'm not making my own coffee,
my absolute favorite is
blue bottle iced almond milk latte.
It's actually, sorry,
it's blue bottle iced oat milk latte.
I've changed from almond milked oat milk.
It's so good.
But if I'm making my coffee at home
I usually use my French press,
so it's really easy.
I use a creamer,
it's called Super Food Creamer by Laird
and it has MCT oil, coconut oil,
it has all the healthy fats,
so it gives you so much energy.
I really love it.
Again, it's a super high fat breakfast,
but that's kind of what I like to feed
my body in the morning.
I feel like it jump starts my brain,
to be honest with you.
My Starbucks order is the egg white English muffin
turkey bacon sandwich thingy
and then I just get a skinny vanilla latte.
I think they just put regular skim milk in it.
I'm clearly just not that picky.
I'm like, whatever you guys want to give me,
just gimme that.
If I'm gonna snack before lunch,
I usually have nuts or a piece of fruit
and that's pretty much it.
I try to have a lighter lunch
because I feel like I get really tired
around three o'clock,
so I'll usually have a salad with a protein.
For my salads, I love Mendocino Farms in L.A.
I don't know if you guys have that here in New York.
I feel bad for you if you don't,
but I'm obsessed with Thai mango salad.
It is so good.
Also, the quinoa super food salad,
also really good.
The not so fried chicken sandwich
is something that I'll get other times too
when I'm absolutely starving.
Like, I like to eat a light lunch
and then I'm gonna go
and probably have like a sandwich.
So I don't know, it kind of depends
on how I'm feeling that day
with work and everything.
Some days you do need a little bit,
a little more sustenance for lunch,
but I'm always really tired
if I don't have something lighter.
I feel like when you have,
let's say 5:00 AM call times
or you have to be up at five o'clock
cause you have to be somewhere for six,
it's so
long!
The days are so long.
So I do have a little bit of a process
that I go by for my energy.
Obviously, we have lunch on set
and we have snacks on set,
but a few things that really help me
would be like,
obviously coffee
and then after coffee I go to green tea,
and then after green tea I go to Diet Coke.
And then after Diet Coke,
I go to peanut M&Ms,
and peanut M&Ms, I go to alcohol.
Like, that's literally how I get through the day.
And you know, actually one more thing
that I've added to that long list
is also Liquid IV.
I've realized that if you take Liquid IV with water
you get so much more energy
and you feel so much more alive
because you're not always getting hydrated
from water right away,
so it helps.
Just extra hydration.
A typical dinner when I'm with my family
would either be chicken soup
'cause it's just like a warm hug.
I love to make chicken soup.
I love to make homemade pizza.
I love to make chicken parm.
I love chicken,
so I like to make a lot
of different chicken things
like, there's this Chinese chicken bowl
that I make that's really good.
I make a lot of things in my air fryer,
bolognese,
turkey bolognese,
beef bolognese.
I like to switch it up.
It really depends on the mood,
but I like to make it an event.
I like to plan in the morning what I'm gonna make
and then make it a whole thing.
If it's a date night out with Christian,
we love to cook together.
We cook together a lot.
So usually I'll send him three recipe options
and he'll pick the one
and we'll make it together.
He's my sous chef.
I basically just like tell him what to chop.
And also some things are heavy or hard to open,
like, he's great to have around.
We're more adventurous,
but we're we're home bodies.
He and I always make these plans to go to dinner
and then five, six o'clock
rolls around and we look at each other
and we're like, there's nothing more that I would love
than to just sit here and do nothing.
There's always at least three different
Ben and Jerry's options in my freezer.
Right now, there's Cherry Garcia,
The Tonight Dough,
and Half Baked.
I also just made really good apple cider doughnuts
like, it's seasonal.
My desserts are seasonal depending
on what time of the year it is.
I love Vide,
but it's 99 calories, zero carbs, zero sugar.
So it's really light.
You don't have to feel a moral or you know,
physical hangover the next day.
At least I don't because it's so light.
It's a good part of a balanced life
because there's not a lot
of calories or sugar or anything,
so you don't feel bogged down.
But I also love champagne.
That's my other love.
I don't like crickets.
I think that's weird, I'm sorry.
I know that's a delicacy
in some parts of the world.
I cannot get behind crickets,
but I'm not gluten free,
not dairy free.
I'm not vegan.
I love Italian food.
I need dairy, I need cheese.
Three things I always need in my home to cook,
my air fryer.
I use that all the time.
My mom has a pizza pan
that's been in our family for four generations.
She ships it to me every once in a while.
So if I have that, I'm making calzones, pizza, croutons,
like everything bread related.
Third would be my juicer actually,
because I love fresh orange juice
and I also love fresh juice
if you're making cocktails,
if I'm making cocktails.
Thanks for watching!
That's everything I eat in a day.
