We all got to know the Irwin family thanks to the late, iconic crocodile hunter Steve Irwin.
His daughter Bindi has since made a name for herself, carrying on her father's legacy.
From environmental conservation and animal advocacy, to becoming a mom,
here's how Bindi keeps her body running.
"Let's start Bindi and Chandler's cooking show."
"Here we go."
Bindi Irwin certainly got the memo that breakfast is an important meal,
but she typically goes for something a little different than the norm. She told The Sun,
"I'll have one [cup of tea] every morning with breakfast,
which will be a brown rice and vegetable bowl."
It turns out that Irwin gets up at 7 a.m. every day, and after having her savory breakfast,
she heads to the Australia Zoo where she works with her family. As noted by the Daily Mail,
Irwin has also been known to eat tofu and leafy greens for breakfast,
too. She shared a photo on Instagram, writing,
"I'm not the only one who prefers kale & tofu over cereal, right?"
Every morning, some of us go for coffee,
while others opt for energy drinks. But Irwin starts each day with a cup of tea at breakfast,
as she told The Sun. And it's not a surprise. As noted by World Tea News,
"Australians drink an average [of] 9.5 cups [of tea] per person per week."
"I love to splurge on tea. I buy a lot of tea."
In fact, tea is such a big part of Irwin's daily life that she launched her own signature
tea collection with the Australian brand, Tea Tonic. She posted on her Instagram in 2019,
"I'm so happy to announce that I have partnered
with Australian tea gurus Tea Tonic to create 'Wild by Nature' — a fresh,
sweet and minty tea combining botanical flowers. Tea makes everything better!"
If there is a sibling duo who could take over the world, it's Bindi and her brother Robert.
And in a sit-down interview with Pedestrian TV, Robert was asked to guess Bindi's favorite food.
"I think lychee fruit."
"[Gasps] Yes! That's cuz I was just talking about lychee."
"You were just talking about lychees about two minutes ago."
So what exactly is lychee fruit? As Medical News Today notes, lychee is a tropical fruit
that is rooted in Chinese history — it was even served as a delicacy in the Chinese courts.
It is sweet and good for you — and totally packed with vitamin C.
It should come as no surprise that Bindi Irwin loves adventure. Her dad literally wrestled with
crocodiles, after all — and she herself is named after one of his favorite crocs. Bindi spends
her days working as a conservation advocate and as part of the managerial staff at the Australia Zoo,
so it makes sense that she's down to try anything when it comes to food.
Irwin told The Urban Mum that she was traveling in Taiwan when she had the most unusual thing she's
ever eaten. She said that the street food was amazing, but she wasn't totally into the stinky
tofu dish. So while it sounds like Bindi probably isn't eating any stinky tofu on a daily basis,
you can bet that she's game to try just about anything once.
Irwin and her entire family have made themselves well-known for their conservation advocacy.
As owners of one of the most prominent zoos in the world, the Irwins have consistently fought
for environmental protections — so it begs the question, is Bindi a vegetarian? As noted by
Distractify, Irwin has never come out publicly saying whether she is vegetarian or vegan.
Still, during a guest appearance on "I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out of Here,"
Bindi explained that she wouldn't be eating strange animal parts, saying,
"We are so not going to be eating anything like that. I'll take the beans and rice challenge."
"Fully plant-based."
So it may very well be that her daily diet is veggie-based.
The one statement Bindi has made on the issue was when someone asked her on social
media if her dad, Steve, adhered to a vegetarian diet. Bindi replied,
"He wasn't vegetarian but strongly against consuming wildlife."
We know that Bindi Irwin is an adventurous eater,
but what does a normal evening meal look like for the star? She told The Urban Mum
that her weekday dinners are pretty simple, but they certainly pack a punch. She shared,
"I really love fresh fruits and veggies. Most nights I'll make a stir-fry or a salad."
In the summertime, Irwin says she's a big fan of mangoes. This is another healthy pick on Irwin's
part because, as noted by Healthline, mangoes are full of vitamin C, folate and potassium.
Irwin doesn't do well with soy and lactose, which makes it difficult
for her to find snacks that are both healthy and delicious. That's where Mama Bar comes in.
Billed as "nutrition for pregnancy and motherhood," Irwin has since partnered with
the mom-focused brand. During her pregnancy with her daughter Grace, Irwin posted to Instagram,
"Pregnancy has been such a special time and I wanted to find a snack that was good for me
and our beautiful daughter. I found Mama Bars […]. I'm soy and lactose intolerant so these
bars being free of both is absolutely perfect. I snack on them whenever I need a pick-me-up."
"We are so happy to share with you our beautiful girl. Grace Warrior is the light of our lives."
Sounds like this mama knows just what she needs for herself and her family.
