Jennifer Aniston possesses one of the most coveted physiques in Hollywood. So what exactly does she consume on any given day? We inquired with this year’s Most Beautiful Woman in the World to give us the lowdown.
“We need to be truly aware and mindful of what goes into our bodies,” Aniston shares with PEOPLE in their latest cover story. “This includes how we sleep, eat, and take care of ourselves.”
For the 47-year-old star, this entails starting off each day with a warm cup of lemon-infused water. “It’s wonderful to introduce alkaline into your system straight away in the morning,” she explains. This is then followed by a cup of coffee with low-fat milk and stevia.
Aniston’s typical breakfast consists of a protein shake. She discloses, “I like to include bananas, cherries, blackberries, a greens powder, collagen peptides, a touch of cacao powder, chocolate stevia drops, and chocolate almond milk.” She adds, “As you can see, I have a penchant for chocolate flavors. I dislike the taste of plain protein.”

As a mid-morning snack, Jennifer Aniston opts for a hard-boiled egg, usually a few hours after she has her shake. One of her go-to lunch options is seared ahi tuna served with cucumber and lentil salad. To enhance the flavor, she sometimes adds a touch of olive oil or uses Bragg’s amino acids instead of soy sauce. In the afternoon, if she feels hungry, the actress might grab a cheese stick or have a cup of soup as a light snack before dinner. Recently, she enjoyed a delicious meal consisting of roasted chicken with spiraled zucchini and pesto sauce. Additionally, Aniston and her partner, Justin, treat themselves to a homemade pasta carbonara every couple of weeks.
Aniston acknowledges that she used to follow a stricter diet regimen, but she has now made room for indulgence. She confesses that her weakness lies in “salty savory” foods. Instead of tightly monitoring her food intake, she has adopted a more moderate approach. According to her, beauty lies in embracing and loving every aspect of oneself, recognizing that it goes beyond mere appearances and material possessions. There is a vast amount of beauty to be found in the essence of a human being.
