- I am Garbiñe Muguruza,
and this is "Everything I Eat in a Day."
(page flips)
So the first thing I do when I wake up is,
I go straight to my coffee machine
to prepare my long black coffee.
I'm a big coffee drinker,
so I need that before anything else.
So after I had my morning coffee, and I am awake,
I would start preparing my regular breakfast.
As a tennis player, obviously, I need a lot of energy,
so my typical breakfast would be a big bowl of oatmeal.
And I would add some protein powder,
blueberries, strawberries, some honey.
And I would mix it all up with some almond milk
because that gives me a lot of energy the entire morning,
which is, you know, my most strong moment of the day.
And I would finish it up with some
multi-grain toast with cream cheese, that I love.
That would be my "regular breakfast."
But there is few days of the year where I can, you know,
allow myself to eat everything
that I don't eat during the year.
And then I would have some pancakes,
or French bakery, that I love.
But that's few days of the year only.
During my morning, which is pretty long,
workouts and exercise usually takes,
like, four or five hours in a row.
You know, I really concentrate on having high energy,
and to not feel weak,
so I eat almost little bites every hour,
like a banana, dates, I would eat sports gels.
I feel like dates are very interesting
because it gives me a lot of energy
and it's like a healthy sugar,
so I really love them.
My typical lunch would be something easy to digest,
something that keeps me going.
Rice, white rice, with some veggies.
I like, also, to add some chicken, some whitefish.
Like a big plate of colorful and different things,
something that makes you feel full and recharged,
but at the same time, that allows me to keep going.
Usually, in the afternoons,
I also have to train and exercise.
So I wanna eat and feel like, "Okay, I feel good."
But in couple of hours, I can go and run again, you know?
I try not to eat with a lot of sauces.
I feel to go to my bedroom and have a siesta,
and that's not what I want.
In the afternoon, after the whole training and workouts,
I'm so exhausted that I always
take a protein shake to recover.
Vanilla is my favorite flavor,
and I mix it up with some cherry juice,
which is actually a very natural antioxidant.
I drink it very fast, it feels good to me and to my stomach.
And, here comes the good part, the treat of the day,
I always eat, like, a piece of chocolate in the afternoon.
You know, milk chocolate with some, I don't know, almonds.
It always give me like, "Okay, I need this.
This is my treat."
And then I have a smile.
I am half Venezuelan, and half Spanish.
From Spain, my favorite food
would be (speaks in foreign language).
Also (speaks in foreign language), which is
a Spanish omelet that has potatoes, and onions, and eggs.
I love that, it's so good.
And from Venezuela, I love arepas.
It's a classic dish, everybody loves it.
It's like a corn tortilla,
and you can fill it up with everything you want.
My favorite food city would be Rome.
I just love Italian food.
I love pasta, I love pizza, tiramisu, gelato. (swoons)
I'm not, like, a big snacker.
I feel like I need to have
everything under control and organized.
And I feel like if I start eating here and there,
then it's, like, nonstop.
"I had it yesterday, I can have it today and tomorrow."
You know, at the end of the day, I am an athlete,
so nutrition is maybe one of the most important parts.
So because I took my protein shake, my protein recovery,
I don't feel, you know, that feeling of,
"I'm gonna eat the world!"
And so, my typical dinner, would be,
I love cream, like, cream soups.
Pumpkin soup.
I would add potatoes, and carrots, and leeks, and onions.
I don't know, it's like a big soup.
You feel, like, good when you have it.
It doesn't disappear, you feel it.
And then I can add some protein if I feel still hungry,
or if I had, like, a very strong day.
And I also always eat, like, a yogurt at night
when I'm watching TV, when I'm watching a movie,
I just sit there in my couch in my living room,
and I'm just, like, eating a yogurt.
Before a very important match, I tend to eat less than more
just 'cause you're so nervous and you're so tense,
that you're stomach is just like, it's closed.
In general, I feel like I eat everything.
But I try to avoid very oily food.
I also tend to avoid, like, sauces, creamy sauces.
Where if you have to find the food in the sauce,
then it's like, I'm gonna pay the price.
I feel like my digestion is gonna take forever.
After winning a big trophy,
I always want to eat a nice piece of steak
with a nice bottle of red wine.
Spanish, of course. (chuckles)
And my mom will, for sure, prepare some desserts.
She's a great cook.
My favorite meal to go would be
anything you throw in the barbecue.
In the grill, everything taste good, no matter what.
You can throw fish, veggies, chicken, meat, burgers.
You're safe!
Like, you can't go wrong.
And it's easy, on top of that,
so I'm a barbecue master.
And that's everything I eat in a day.
Thank you for watching! (blows kiss)
