Kristen Bell

She may technically start off her mornings with the egg whites, spinach, tomato and extra feta she orders from craft services on whatever set she’s working on that day, but the Veronica Mars star goes straight for the carbs after that! Her daily midmorning snack is a salt bagel with cream cheese, she told Women’s Health: “I have to eat carbs because I have to memorize 11 pages of dialogue, and I can’t do that eating spinach and chicken.”

Elizabeth Hurley

To keep herself healthy inside and out, the Estée Lauder Breast Cancer Campaign spokeswoman makes sure she gets plenty of plant-based foods in every meal. “One of the best tips I've ever been told is that whatever plate of food you're eating, half of it should be vegetable matter,” the actress told Us Weekly after she lit the Empire State Building pink on October 1, 2019. “So, whatever you're eating, as long as you counteract it with half of vegetables, you're doing OK.” The swimwear designer follows that rule in the morning too. “I'm a fan of oats. I think starting the day with oats can be very good,” she said. “But again, half has to be vegetables, so you have to have a banana with it or some berries.”

Lo Bosworth - Salad

The Hills alum keeps it healthy from the moment the alarm clock goes off. “I actually love to have salad for breakfast,” Bosworth told Us in May 2019. “I did a poll about this on my Instagram the other week to see how many other people enjoy having salad for breakfast, and only 18 percent said that they did. But I really do. When I wake up I'm craving vegetables that have a lot of water content.” Her a.m. bowl includes “a lot of the veggies that I have cut up the night before for whatever I was using for dinner” as well as cucumbers, nuts and a soft boiled egg. And while the lifestyle blogger acknowledged it’s an unusual way to begin your morning, she highly recommends it: “That's a really great way to incorporate vegetables into the start of your day. I think that people would be surprised by how great they feel when they start with such a nutritionally dense breakfast.”

Jenna Dewan - Green Juice or Nothing

Known for her fit and healthy lifestyle, Dewan takes her meals seriously. “I eat vegan pretty much. I'm vegan/vegetarian, and so I eat really healthy,” she told Us in May 2018. “My one biggest tip I tell everyone is that years ago I stopped eating breakfast in the morning.” Instead, the Resident actress makes “a big green smoothie,” she says. “It's got romaine, kale, spinach... It's tons of fiber in the morning, all your nutrients. That really transformed my body, my skin and just my energy level throughout the day.”

Jessie James Decker - Breakfast Sandwich

The singer — who became a spokesperson for the South Beach Diet after she welcomed her third child in March 2018 — explains that she doesn’t eat the meal delivery service for dinner, but she enjoys their options for her first two meals of the day. “I'll have the sausage English muffin sandwiches for breakfast,” the star told Us in January 2019.

Kelly Rowland - Egg-White Frittata

“I love egg whites, and I love spinach and I love sun-dried tomatoes and goat cheese,” the “Kelly” singer told Us in December 2018. She typically combines them all into a frittata or an omelet, she says: “I do that in the morning and I have a ton of water. I have some coconut water for electrolytes.”

Lea Michele - Bok Choy Scramble

Sure, sometimes the Glee alum will start her morning with a smoothie. But usually, she says, it’s a veggie scramble. “So I'll take broccoli, kale, bok choy and I'll put it in a pan with some flax oil and steam it up and get it really nice and flavorful and tasty,” she told Us in August 2018. The finishing touch? “Then maybe I'll put some fresh sliced avocado on top and put that in a big bowl and that will be my breakfast, giving me all of the greens and nutrients that I need to start my day.”

Peter Kraus - A Lot of Calories

As a personal trainer, the Bachelor alum needs plenty of fuel to get through the day. So, for his daily breakfast, “I eat a lot of calories,” he told Us in October 2018. “Mine is three pieces of toast, probably six to eight eggs, a banana and usually a weight-gain shake.” As for the eggs, he’s not too picky about the preparation. “Whatever is fastest,” he added of cooking them. “Usually scrambled because it takes two minutes.”

Elizabeth Hurley - Always Something

The British model’s go-to breakfast? “I like things like an omelet, or I like avocado on toast or some tomatoes,” she told Us in October 2018. “I always have something for breakfast!”

Mario Lopez - Cereal

The Extra host may be healthy, but as a dad, he’s also low-key. “I actually have cereal every morning,” he told Us in October 2018, “because, as you know, I have a family.”

Heidi Klum - Fresh Food

No matter what Klum eats with her four children, she makes sure it’s fresh! “There is always fresh food being cooked every day,” the supermodel told Us in September 2018. “We start off with oatmeal and fruit, a smoothie, sometimes we have eggs and we do steak in the morning.” She’ll go unconventional at times too: “Sometimes I also like to introduce a dinner for breakfast because it's important,” she says. “Breakfast is super important. Or I will make pancakes with apples, you know, all fresh, not out of a box or anything like that.”

Becca Kufrin - Peanut Butter

For the former Bachelorette star, her a.m. meal isn’t complete until she eats her favorite nut protein. “For breakfast I'll try to have scrambled eggs and toast,” she told Us in June 2018, “and then peanut butter.”

Ali Fedotowsky - Pasta

Give her carbs or give her death! As the former Bachelorette lead has told Us, “If there is a hell for me, the Atkins diet would be it. I could never give up pasta. Pasta to me is life.” So much so, that she eats it at sunrise! “I make it every single morning,” she told Us in 2017. “By eating it in the morning, I can burn it off all day.” Her preferred preparation is angel hair with vegan butter and parmesan cheese, she added. Her other trick? “I always also take a shot of grapefruit juice before I eat it.”
