It’s not exactly a secret that we look to celebrities to be lifestyle and food gurus.
But is this necessarily a good thing?
While your favorite celeb might have a body you envy, it doesn’t always mean they’re healthy.
I askedcertified nutrition coachand smoothie chef, Chanel Gold Kenner to give the real dish on these celeb-favored foods!
Sex Dust
Gwyneth Paltow is a big fan ofmorning smoothieswith a scoop ofSex Dust by Moon Juice.
As for Sex Dust improving what you do behind closed doors, Kenner can’t quite vouch for that.
Simply put, cacao reduces the risk of developing a chronic disease.
So definitely add some Sex Dust to your morning smoothie."
Kenner also thinks smoothies are a great way to maintain a balanced diet.
Have that wine with your besties during girl’s night!
Then nourish yourself with a smoothie in the morning," she says.
Bulletproof coffee
According toPeople, actress Busy Phillips is busy makingBulletproof coffeeevery morning.
Not your ordinary cup of “Morning Joe,” thiscuppaisn’t made with cream and sugar.
Kenner explained to me why Bulletproof is the hottest cup of coffee in Hollywood right now.
Kenner personally integrates Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil in her own diet.
But when it comes to fish, Kenner says things can getfishy.
But sustainability standards are much higher today than they were, say, 30 years ago."
More importantly, she noted that it doesn’t matter how your fish was caught.
“The nutritional quality of fish wild-caught or farmed is virtually the same.
People need to eat more fish!
Twice a week is the recommendation.”
Her personal favorite is salmon, which she makes with a side of quinoa and roasted veggies.
She adds a little lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor.
Suja juices
Bella Hadidwas spotted backstageat the Victoria’s Secret fashion show downing abottle of Suja juice.
But Kenner thinks Hadid’s fashion choices are better than her nutritional ones.
She says, “The amount of fruit in a single bottle is well above what we need.
One bottle can contain more than 40 grams of sugar and that’s way too much.”
She thinks it’s just better to eat fruit.
Kenner, who is absolutely obsessed with this brand, understands why.
She has personally tried most of their products and has yet to find something she doesn’t love.
“I love Purely Elizabeth everything.
My own pantry is stocked with every granola, oatmeal, and muesli.
The brand uses all whole, organic ingredients which is important.
She says the ingredients are also very high quality.
Kenner confessed she even enjoys it “straight out of the bag.”
Annie’s snacks
What kid doesn’t love a delicious snack?
Kenner likes Annie’s snacks and sees them as a healthy option for the playground set.
“As an alternative to traditional snacks, Annie’s is a great option (in moderation!).
After all, what child (or adult) can resist anything that has a cute bunny shape?
Pasta Snacks
Both Mario Lopez andLance Bass are big fansofPasta Snacks.
The brand has three lines: chips, bowties, and veggie.
She also added that, “The ingredients are highly processed.”
Just add a delicious dip and you’ve got a memorable appetizer!
Overall, Kenner puts her stamp of approval on this product.
“Epic bars contain all-natural and few ingredients, which is good.
They also are very high in protein.
Core water
Ellie Goulding keeps her body and voice beautiful with Core water.
But other than having her seal of approval, should Core water be acorepart of your diet?
Kenner says yes: any water is better than no water.
She thinks whatever gets you drinking is good.
“Ultimately, the brand of water you drink is a matter of preference.
Do you like how it tastes?
People get very religious about it!
Keep it balanced
Did your favorite celebs eat as healthy as you thought they did?
Or are you more excited to try some new foods and make some new recipes?
No matter what, it’s important to remember that even treats can be part of a healthy diet.
