So what does the queen of healthy eating like to eat on a daily basis?
Does she really practice what she preaches when it comes to eating vegetables and fruits?
What she’s doing clearly works, so here’s what Michelle Obama really eats in a day.
But, asHealthlinereported, consuming five or six smaller meals is also in vogue with some experts.
Once the clock hits noon and she’s not having her famous chili, Obama makes lunch a priority.
Sounds like a good strategy.
She’s just about ready to dig in when Grover shows up, hilariously disrupting the process.
That’s a pretty healthy selection, although Wright noted the meal could use more fresh fruit and veg.
Obama doesn’t reach for produce and reduced-fat milk 100 percent of the time though.
She informedThe New York Timesthat she also enjoys waffles and grits for breakfast on occasion.
She also dines with her staff for her afternoon meal, and together they watch viral videos.
That sounds like lunchtime at any office.
Not surprisingly, the recipe is healthy and contains plenty of vegetables.
“you might skip the pasta, but you’ve got to eat the vegetables.”
Some vegetables are more popular than others at chez Obama.
She continued, “Broccoli is a winner in our household.
So we do a lot of broccoli.
Malia doesn’t like snowpeas [sic], but they will appear because I like them.”
Frozen peas are another one of her popular produce picks as well.
Obama practices what she preaches, too.
But the produce queen, surprisingly, admits there’s one vegetable that she honestly just doesn’t like.
But I’m just not a fan of beets."
Of course, she only ever eats these foods in moderation.
Obama also has a fondness for the comfort food she dined on growing up.
She didn’t make it often, so when she did it was special.
It was creamy, delicious, warm and cheesy … very, very cheesy."
That sounds super tasty.
In her home, her mother did the cooking, not a private chef like in the White House.
So what does she like to eat for dinner these days?
That garden was the brainchild of Michelle Obama.
She continued that this was likely due to a lack of time or information.
Obama didn’t want a garden just so she’d have fresh tomatoes available for herself, either.
She also hopes it will help kids “make friends with vegetables,” as she has.
“Almost every Friday I’ll eat, like, a veggie pizza on wheat,” she revealed.
She also acknowledged, however, that this style of pie isn’t everyone’s first choice.
She continued, “Now, that may not be something you like, but I like it.”
She went on to extol the virtues of pizza, celebrating its diversity.
“you’re free to have dessert pizza.
it’s possible for you to do anything with pizza.
It’s a very versatile, universally loved food,” she said.
Seeing as it involves bread, cheese, and sauce, that’s not surprising.
She toldPeoplemagazine, “Chicago deep dish, are you kidding me?
Gino’s East, to be precise.”
That figures, given that she’s a Chicago native.
She’s aware how tough it is to juggle cooking along with everything else.
“She is a teacher and doesn’t have much time to cook.
But like many novice home cooks, her sister-in-law was trying to do too much.
She noted that that’s only feasible if you have a sous chef, which her sister-in-law didn’t.
So just how does she keep it simple, then?
“I could do that in 15 minutes, and then we’d have leftovers,” she revealed.
“Now my family is sick of that meal!”
What does Michelle Obama order at restaurants?
Michelle Obama is a fan of all kinds of restaurants, according toEater.
She orders salad or vegetables on a consistent basis, for example.
When she drinks alcohol, it’s either a dirty martini with Stoli vodka or wine.
She orders seafood as a main course more than anything else.
She enjoys dessert, but not with every meal.
When Obama dines out in New York City, her taste is just as impeccable.
Clearly Obama knows how to live.
In an interview withFood & Wine, she shared that travel is important to her.
So where would she want to go first?
“Spain has so much incredible food,” she said.
“I like anything with jamon, cheese, olives, bread and olive oil.
I could eat that forever.”
“Barack and I metJose Andreswhen we first came to Washington and to the White House.
Obama still lives in DC, so perhaps the invite is still open for them.
Well, when it comes to the former First Lady Michelle Obama, snacks are definitely on the menu.
