Gisele Bündchen: Slaying Life Post-Divorce with Her Nourishing Recipes What
- Apr 6, 2024
After waving her 14-year marital bliss with renowned football star Tom Brady goodbye in 2022, Brazilian supermodel and planet savior, Gisele Bündchen is ready to stir things up with a fresh cookbook, cheekily named 'Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body & Feed Your Soul'. Unlike her figure, which remains elusive to most of us, her cookbook offers an achievable, family-friendly trove of gluten-free delights ranging from tantalizing snacks, heavenly smoothies to palatable meals your kids won't resist.
In 'Nourish', Bündchen gets down and dirty with her cooking tools, unveiling her secret ingredients like avocado oil and cashew cream while giving us a glimpse of the dietary plans she's ditched. Struggling through professional and personal upheaval, she remains balanced and centric - though how she manages that remains a mystery, where's that chapter, Gisele?
At 43, the supermodel kicks off her day with lukewarm lemon water. Why lukewarm? Because Mama Bündchen said cold water's an impolite shock to the system, that's why. After guzzling down approximately ten glasses of water and a thirty-minute stroll with her dogs, she steps into her daily routine.
She confesses her diet is primarily plant-based. Although her attempts at going vegan or vegetarian fell through due to anemia, the supermodel managed to adjust her dietary habits to fit her body's needs. She now includes a small helping of animal protein on her plate. And hey, let's not forget the succulent ribeye steak recipe one gets to enjoy in 'Nourish'!
And while the supermodel has a pretty strict diet, she does allow herself some cheat days, relishing truffle fries and gelato every once in a while. However, the next day, it's back to square one. Ultra-processed foods are no-no; Bündchen equates her body to a temple, deserving of quality nourishment.
If you were expecting cocktail recipes in her cookbook, prepare to be disappointed. Gisele has been sober for two years, swapping coffee and alcohol for caffeine-free dandelion tea. However, take heart in the variety of teas she loves and recommends for their numerous health benefits.
If you were counting on a juice cleanse routine from the health guru, sorry to burst your bubble, but Gisele declared it too demanding on her busy schedule and has now ventured into the exciting world of smoothies as meal replacements. Lastly, the secret to her statuesque figure lies in her active lifestyle. Yoga, surfing, trampoline workouts, you name it, she's into it.
So, grab a copy of 'Nourish' and delve into Bündchen's world of health, fitness and humorously called out health myths. Answering our question, 'Eat (Kale) or Die?'. We guess the former supermodel would say, 'Eat balance and live'. No shocker there.
