Kourtney Kardashian — Avocado Smoothie
If you’ve ever watched KUWTK, you probably know that this family is obsessed with pureeing avocados. Avocado smoothies are a creamy and decadent alternative to chocolate milkshakes.

Shailene Woodley — Bone Broth

Reese Witherspoon — Green Smoothie
Ok, this isn’t the most revolutionary breakfast meal, but a lot of people don’t meet their daily quota for greens, because you need to eat a heaping pile of it and that’s not exactly appealing.

She also adds coconut water and almond butter.
J.Lo — Protein Smoothie
Maybe this is the secret to why she looks so radiant and identical to how she looked decades ago. Each morning, Jennifer Lopez preps a protein-filled smoothie filled with bananas, milk, spinach, and sunflower or almond butter. At an event in the Bronx, she even showed off her smoothie technique. The singer and actress says that the recipe is ideal for gaining muscle mass while losing weight.
Kristen Bell — Matcha and Pea Protein Milk
Move over almond milk and cashew milk — pea protein milk is the latest dairy-free alternative that you need to try ASAP. A matcha latte contains all nine essential amino acids. It’s one of the only complete protein sources, as opposed to incomplete veggie-based sources of protein like beans and grains. Matcha tea is caffeinated and also high in antioxidants.
Jessica Biel — Paleo Pancakes
If you were wondering if pancakes can be healthy, the answer is yes! Jessica Biel upgrades her with a gluten, dairy and wheat-free paleo version that’s packed with coconut and a healthy swap for peanut butter — Biel suggests almond or cashew. The breakfast helps promote better digestion and lifted energy. Just maybe keep an eye on how much syrup you pour on top and perhaps swap for honey.
Gabby Douglas — Oatmeal with Banana
If there’s one breakfast routine you can trust, it’s that of an Olympic champ. Olympic gymnast Gabby Douglas is used to needing a meal that will keep her focused on all day, and some oatmeal with fresh fruit definitely does the trick. Oats are a notorious bad cholesterol reducer, and they’re also high in fiber. Eating oatmeal can encourage healthy blood pressure and better digestion, while bananas can improve blood sugar levels and help with exercise recovery.
