What Jennifer Aniston Eats In a Typical Day Has Made Us Feel Like Monsters

And reveals her secret for healthy carbonara.

Jennifer Aniston is a goddess.

But it doesn’t come without hard graft. Last month we broke down her gruelling morning routine (which is NOTHING like ours – weird) and now this news basically confirms that she deserves everything she has.

The Friends actress broke down what she eats in a typical day to Cosmopolitanand surprise surprise, there’s no pizza on the list.

She said:

“When I wake up, I have warm lemon water and then I have a shake or avocado and eggs, which is one of my favorites,” Aniston says. “I sprinkle a little coconut oil on that. Sometimes, I’ll have a puffed millet cereal with a banana or I’ll do oatmeal with an egg white whipped in at the end.”

Porridge with egg white sounds a bit dodgy, but Jen insists it’s delish:

“Justin [Theroux], my husband, taught me that little move to get extra protein! Right before [the oatmeal] is finished cooking, you just whip in an egg white and it kind of gives it this fluffy texture that’s delicious.”

Lunch is “some form of vegetables or salad with protein — pretty basic” and dinner is “probably the same.”

When it comes to snacks, it’s an apple and almond butter or some nuts.

But, fear not – Jen does have cheat days, and when it comes to going all out, pasta is BAE, and something that her hubby Justin brought back into her life:

“Pasta has taken over as my new favorite go-to-town food.

“I don’t know whether I should thank him or hate him for that.”

However, it’s not all creamy sauces and cheese stuffed ravioli for the hot couple – in fact they have a healthy carbonara recipe.

“I’ve learned how to make it and it’s not that bad for you! It’s just an egg, parmesan cheese, and a little pasta water. And we substitute turkey bacon for real bacon, so, you know.”

Sounds stun-real to us.
