- Hello everyone.
I'm Julianne Hough, and I'm excited to share
with you everything I eat in a day.
(whimsical music)
So first thing's first, the minute I wake up in the morning
the first thing that I do when I open my eyes
I drink my lemon water that I've prepped the night before.
And that usually consists of lukewarm temperatured water
with a half a lemon and sitting overnight really
getting all those juices flushed out in there.
And the reason why I take it first thing in the morning
is we've just been laying down, we're sleeping
and anything that was kind of left residue from the night
before I can take that lemon water and feel
like I'm cleaning my system out,
starting with a fresh palette for the day.
Then it kind of depends on what
my morning routine looks like.
As far as my exercise, my breath work, my meditation,
but usually I find a way to either do some sort
of celery juice or something that also gives me a little bit
of sugar before I go do a quick workout or I'll do
like amino acids or something like that to just
give me that support, that energy that I'm looking for.
So that's my morning.
Now I drink coffee
not because I feel like I need it
but because I love the ritual
of having something warm, that smell.
And I just love the taste of coffee.
I'm technically not supposed to have coffee.
So it is like a special treat for me if I do have coffee.
So in return, I will do a matcha tea or a matcha latte.
That's sort of my other cozy favorite.
Otherwise I try to stick to herbal teas
and that's always really helpful throughout the day.
So after my first half
of my workday and I'm ready for lunch, I love soup.
So I will usually make a lot
and freeze it so that I can have it throughout the week.
I'm really big on variations.
So I don't eat the same thing every day
but today I'm going to have a butternut squash soup
with carrot, and this is like the Ayurvedic way.
So I'm all plant-based and vegan.
For my salad, I'm going to keep it really fresh
with some asparagus broccolini, some beets,
watermelon radishes with some ginger on top
over a bed of spinach.
Some of the dressings that I really like to use,
apple cider vinegar.
Honestly, I know it sounds pretty dull
but it helps the digestion first and foremost, if I'm lucky
I'll find some sort of like gluten-free cracker.
And by the way, I sound so LA right now
with all this gluten-free, dairy-free vegan,
but it's because my body needs it.
Because trust me, do I love flour?
I love sugar.
I love cookies.
I love all the things, but I'm really just trying to focus
on my health from the inside out.
All right, dinner time.
So I have this mung Dahl that I've prepared,
gluten free crackers, some toasted black Sesame seeds.
And then of course, I'm gonna make some sides as well.
So we've got sweet potato, asparagus,
some ginger, collard greens, Swiss chard, spinach.
Now this is dinner.
This is really nourishing, really yummy.
I feel really full by the end of it.
But one of the things that I do love is making sure
that I'm still having pleasure
with my food throughout the day.
And that's when I either choose to have a glass
of wine or a cocktail depending on the occasion.
So if it's just me by myself here and I'll put on a Zoom
with one of my girlfriends and we'll have a glass of wine,
which speaking of, this is one of my favorite wines.
It's my wine with my best friend Nina.
So, you know, shameless plug.
That's usually what I like to do to cap
off my really nourishing day.
If I can give you any words
of encouragement with what you eat
it's enjoy yourself, everything in moderation.
And if you love your body and you love what you're putting
into your body, your body's gonna know.
So if you're already telling yourself, oh,
I shouldn't be eating this.
And then your body's gonna have that stress
and hold onto it.
So if you're gonna do something, if you're gonna drink
and you're going to have a yummy sweet tooth, then enjoy it.
Like take the pleasure in it.
All right.
That my friends is everything I eat in a day.
