Former model turned first lady Melania Trump is well known by many for her slim
and trim figure, allowing her to show off her fashion sense. But how does she maintain such
a seemingly flawless physique? According to Business Insider, her diet has a lot to
do with it - namely one that consists of mostly fresh, organic fruits and veggies.
In fact, according to Inside Edition, Melania makes a concerted effort each and
every day to consume at least seven pieces of fruit, including her go-to favorites:
apples and peaches. But what does the FLOTUS typically consume during any given day?
During an interview with Refinery29 in 2012, the First Lady revealed that she usually opts
for a smoothie for breakfast. And no - this is not a Smoothie King or Jamba Juice situation.
Instead Melania prepares her own smoothie each morning, making sure that it's packed
to the brim with healthy, organic fruits and vegetables. She explained,
"Well, in the morning, every morning,
I have a smoothie with a few ingredients and a lot of vitamins in it - it's very healthy."
She added that every now and then she will indulge in a bowl of oatmeal.
See? First ladies - they're just like us.
But when asked about a particular diet,
Melania was adamant that she doesn't follow a diet regimen. She told the outlet,
"It's not a diet, I just like to eat healthy because I feel better and have more energy.
I don't have a particular snack I always eat. If I would snack, I would snack on
maybe fruit or a little bit of chocolate, because I think your body needs that, too."
While the FLOTUS may have made a name for herself as a vegetable aficionado, make no
mistake about it - there are some vegetables the first lady's not touching with a 10-foot pole.
During a 2005 appearance on Martha Stewart's cooking and lifestyle show,
Melania divulged that she dislikes both onions and artichokes. During the episode,
both Melania and her husband stood elbow-to-elbow with the queen of
domesticity as she schooled them on the art of making homemade meatloaf.
During the segment, Melania confessed that she's
not a fan of onions and would be preparing her meatloaf without them.
As it turns out, however, her husband does enjoy the bulb vegetable. And while the two
may disagree on onions, they commiserate in their shared disdain for artichokes.
"I support my husband a hundred percent."
Take note, pizza delivery crews. Next time you're dropping off at the White House,
hold the artichokes!
Speaking of ordering in: It's no secret that Melania can be a bit of an introvert.
She apparently has no issue with staying home and preparing her own meals - but it
appears she also loves to dine out from time to time … especially at high-end eateries.
During an interview with New York magazine in 2010, Donald Trump's wife disclosed that
she enjoys eating out and exploring the many dining establishments in New York, specifically
at a restaurant located within the Trump International Hotel in Manhattan. Melania gushed,
"One thing I love most about New York is the variety of amazing foods you can eat.
My all-time favorite is the Chicken Parmigianino at Jean Georges."
But before you rush right out to the establishment, bear in mind that the
particular dish described is gonna set you back a bit. A plate costs $68, per Inside Edition.
Like most couples, there are a few things that the President and his first lady disagree
on - one in particular being fast food. While the president prefers to chow down at many different
fast food establishments, as evidenced by his campaign trail in 2016 and his famous fast food
feast at the White House, in contrast, Melania prefers to largely stay away from the stuff.
But then again - we all indulge in guilty pleasures every now and then,
right? Right. In fact, Melania made headlines when she and second lady
Karen Pence made a pit stop at Whataburger for some of the chain's famous french fries,
per ABC News. Later, the chain penned a tweet thanking the ladies for stopping by.
See? First ladies - they really are just like us.
