At 43, Kerry Washington is looking better than everbut its not by accident. The Little Fires Everywhere star told Allure that exercise is part of her everyday life. I love to work out. Its really important to me; its part of the culture of my family, she said.
But when it comes to food, Washington is all about balance. In general in life I try to live it, not diet, she previously told People. I think thats hard when youre restricting a lot. So I try to take it easy on a daily basis and do whats going to make me feel good.
You guessed it: That includes tons of fruits and veggies. Heres a snapshot of how Washington approaches her daily diet.
One of Washingtons personal trainers, Nonna Gleyzer, told Shape that the actress has always been an extremely healthy eater.
She eats a lot of vegan products, with little clean meals throughout the day, she explained, adding that the star focuses on lean proteins and veggies.
Washington also told ELLE that shes also really into juices and smoothies, particularly from Kim Snyder. The celebrity nutritionist is known for her recipes, like this Glowing Green Smoothie, which is packed with spinach, celery, lemon juice, cilantro, and more. I try to keep it consistent year-round, Washington said.
Is there anything coconut cant do? You can cook with it, slather it onto dry hair, and even use it to remove makeup. Washington swears by it to stay hydrated, according to her trainer. She loves coconut water, which gives her potassium and important electrolytes, Gleyzer told Shape. With the long hours she works, theres really no room for her to play around. She needs to be in the best shape every single day, and she definitely is.
Youll often notice a glass of wine in Washingtons hand as she stars as Olivia Pope in Scandal. But the actress told ELLE its always grape juice in her cup, because she would never be able to remember the two-page monologues otherwise.
Im also not a drinker. I love a drink occasionally, but I wouldnt be able to handle it. You see one sip, but I have to drink three cups to get the scene done, she said. I tend to be a when in Rome drinker. With that, she doesnt particularly have a favorite beverage. When Im traveling, I drink what they have there or Ill get a special cocktail.
Instead, Washington focuses on drinking lots of water. The things my mother always stressed were to drink a lot of water and get a lot of rest, which I used to roll my eyes at, she told Oprah Magazine. Now I think shes a genius. Health and wellness really are the sources of beauty.
Well, dont we all! Apparently, Washington saves room on her menu for some sweetness. The Little Fires Everywhere star previously told Glamour that shes a fan of Sprinkles Cupcakes and Elenis Cookies.
Elenis cookies are like the crack of cookies, she told the magazine, adding that she once sent them to her Scandal castmates while they were filming. In fact, the day that I brought Elenis cookies, we were shooting in downtown L.A. and there was a robbery and a shoot-out downstairs at the store below our set, and we were like, They heard we have crack! We were only kidding about the crack in the cookies! she jokingly recalled.
