Jennifer Aniston has finally revealed the recipe for her go-to salad – while opening up about the health and fitness routine she relies on to stay in such enviable shape at age 54.
Almost one year after the former Friends star revealed the viral recipe for a salad that she was said to have made every day on the show's set was fake, she has now shared the ingredients she puts in her ‘really hearty’ mix.
While speaking to the Today Show about her collaboration with the fitness company Pvolve, she detailed her favourite salad order, which starts with butter lettuce as a base.
‘I’m not a Romaine fan,” Aniston explained. ‘I love to have some mushrooms. I love sprouts. I love a little tomato. Avocado, Kalamata olives, always some cheese – never gonna give up my cheese. I’ll do sliced parmesan, pecorino … feta … or all of them!’
The actress tops off her salad with sliced almonds or sunflower seeds for crunch and either a chopped or poached egg for protein.
As for the dressing, it depends on the day. She typically opts for oil, vinegar, or a vinaigrette, but if it’s the weekend, she might have ranch instead.
Aniston admitted that she used to do ‘exhausting and painful’ workouts because she believed that was what she needed to do in order to see results.
However, she ditched her ‘no pain, no gain’ attitude in 2021 when a friend introduced her to Pvolve, an exercise program that pairs functional movement with resistance-based equipment.
Two years later, she serves as an adviser for the company’s online platform.
The workouts range from five to more than 60 minutes, but she advised starting slow if you struggle to find motivation.
‘Just do 10 to 20 minutes. You can do anything for 10 to 20 minutes,’ she explained. ‘You start to enjoy it. That’s the other thing.
‘I really do push myself, just at least do that little bit. I’ll immediately feel incredible. You instantly start to feel those endorphins and that energy.’
