When I think of celebrities famous for their outrageously healthy habits, Miranda Kerr is one of the first who comes to mind, outdone only by Gwyneth and her Goop-approved lifestyle. I actually once met the Aussie model at an event for Swarovski (she’s the brand’s spokesmodel) in Sydney, and remember being mesmerized by the way her skin quite literally glowed—glowed, I tell you—while I shook her hand. Yes, I’m sure hair, makeup, and some very favorable genetics had something to do with that, but I’ve remained convinced that Kerr’s eating something or exercising in a way that I’m definitely not.
Since then, I’ve spent many mindless Sunday afternoons trawling her Instagram for clues, and typing her name and “food diary” into Google, but still, I needed to know more. Because, sure, she might literally be paid to maintain that face and body full time, but Kerr also has a son, and runs a huge (organic, obvs) beauty company while juggling international spokesmodel gigs and posing for international fashion campaigns, such as Givenchy Spring 2016. So the woman can’t be possibly lying around getting placenta facials all the time or spending five hours at the gym every day.
Her latest gig is with Swarovski, appearing in the jewelry brand’s Mother’s Day campaign, and I finally got the opportunity to ask her exactly what it is she does to maintain that body and complexion—also, how it is she looks like this while jogging. Here’s what she told me.

For dinner I had: Roast chicken and vegetables and a glass of organic wine at 6.30 p.m.
Today I snacked on: Mary’s flaxseed crackers with goat cheese and Herbamare salt.

The ingredients you’ll find in my favorite smoothie are: I make a green power smoothie that is alkalizing, nutrient-dense, and high in vitamins and minerals.

Combine all the ingredients in a blender and enjoy.
