Smoothies, sushi and spicy food?
Find out you can make the Duke of Cambridge's favorite meal!
We're taking a look at what Kate Middleton really eats in a day, including her favorite
dessert!
Kate Middleton obviously needs a lot of energy to keep up with her hectic schedule, which
is likely what inspires her to have a nutritious breakfast.
Hello! reveals that, while her kids dine on cereal with apples in the morning, Middleton herself
prefers a hearty bowl of porridge.
When the Duchess wants an extra power boost, however, she's got another secret weapon in
her breakfast arsenal: a super green smoothie made with spirulina.
As the Daily Mail reports, her smoothies are packed with kale, spinach, romaine lettuce,
cilantro, blueberries, and matcha powder.
One of Hello!'s lifestyle writers drank Middleton's famed smoothie every day for a full month,
and she found that she did have plenty of energy and great skin.
Unfortunately, she also revealed that the flavor was less than enjoyable.
We guess you've got to be able to deal with a certain amount of unpleasantness if you're
preparing to be a queen consort, and this Middleton special is probably an acquired taste.
"Ahh."
Between meals, Middleton sometimes snacks on quick, nutrient-filled bites.
Rather than reaching for a candy bar or bag of chips, she instead favors fruits and vegetables.
MyLondon says she's a big fan of vitamin-rich goji berries, adding that she also enjoys
olives — a love she has passed onto her daughter, Princess Charlotte.
On a more eventful day, such as when an entertaining outing is involved, Middleton is a fan of popcorn.
Hello! published a photo of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sitting courtside at a Brooklyn
Nets game in 2014, sharing a box of popcorn.
She appeared to be carefully picking out the most perfectly popped kernels for a satisfying
mid-game bite, to which we can certainly relate.
While Middleton isn't a vegetarian, she may well be a flexitarian, as she doesn't seem
to mind abstaining from meat one bit.
As RSVP Live relates, during a 2016 visit to India, she and Prince William enjoyed meals
prepared by chef Raghu Deora — vegetarian ones, as he was told that this was what the
couple preferred.
Among the dishes he served them were veggie kebabs and lentil curry.
Middleton has also been known to experiment with a raw diet one day a week.
As one of her friends told the Daily Mail in 2014, she tried it "to achieve radiant
skin."
Whether or not this is still a part of her routine, she likely still enjoys a good salad.
A few of her favorites are tabbouleh and one made from watermelon.
While Middleton hasn't shared her recipe, Hello!
speculates that the watermelon salad she enjoys may include cucumbers, avocado, onion, and
feta cheese.
Middleton tends to keep things fresh and light at lunchtime.
Another one of her go-to midday meals, according to Hello!, is ceviche, a Peruvian speciality
of raw fish marinated in citrus juice and seasoned with chilis, onions, and cilantro.
Ceviche is also enjoyed in other countries, such as Mexico, and can be made with other
types of seafood, like shrimp.
That's not the only kind of raw fish Middleton favors, though.
It seems that both she and her husband are very fond of sushi.
A 2018 tweet from the restaurant Japan House London quoted Prince William, who had paid
the eatery a royal visit to sample sashimi.
He told the chef:
"My wife and I love sushi.
We might have to come down here for lunch when no one else is in."
One thing Middleton is very fond of is food that packs some punch.
When she was pregnant, Hello! says, one of her main cravings was for spicy, Indian-style
curry.
She enjoyed similar dishes on a visit to India and has also cooked them at home.
Her husband, however, isn't such a fan of spicy foods.
Middleton isn't the only one in her family who enjoys a chili-spiked curry.
In 2019, the Daily Mail's royals reporter tweeted that a certain little princess, Charlotte,
to be exact, just 4 years old at the time, was already developing an appreciation for
the spicier things in life.
While The Cambridges' home life is probably far from "normal," as we non-royals know it,
they still enjoy some typical family activities, such as cooking dinner together.
What are some of the things that Middleton and her small sous chefs like to whip up?
As Hello!
shares, they love making pasta dishes, like mac and cheese.
However, the authentically Italian spaghetti carbonara is Prince George's all-time favorite,
according to the Daily Mail.
The family also collaborates on salads and homemade pizza.
"I'm in love"
Vanity Fair adds that Middleton hasn't forgotten how to make her husband's favorite dish, either.
He's quite partial to roast chicken, and this is something she's been cooking for him since
the couple were newlyweds.
Her go-to chicken recipe may be one that former royal chef Darren McGrady shared with Princes
William and Harry, as well as their own mum, Princess Diana.
McGrady also passed the recipe on to Hola!, and it couldn't be simpler.
Coat a whole roasting bird with salt, then bake on a rack at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for
an hour.
Voilà!
A meal fit for a duke.
Former royal chef Darren McGrady has made frequent media appearances discussing the
royals' favorite dishes.
In a YouTube video from a few years back, he revealed the name of Kate Middleton's favorite
dessert: sticky toffee pudding.
Across the pond, this is the ultimate classic "pudding," which is the British term used
to refer to just about any type of dessert.
Demonstrating the recipe, McGrady explained in the video that sticky toffee pudding is
actually a type of steamed fruitcake.
While the traditional recipe calls for apricots, he prefers to use dates instead.
The cake is topped with a sauce, the "sticky toffee" part, that's made from muscovado sugar,
butter, and cream.
He did admit, however, that he never actually cooked this pudding for The Cambridges, since
Middleton has always preferred to do the cooking and even the shopping herself.
