she told the 2023 Australian Real Estate Conference, per Marie Claire Australia.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;If I&#8217;m working way into the night, I eat with frequency and I take care of my mind and spirit.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In 2020, Reese&#8217;s personal trainer Kirschen Katz revealed her grueling pre-Golden Globes fitness regime in an interview with<a style=\"font-weight: bold;\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.popsugar.com\/fitness\/reese-witherspoons-golden-globes-fitness-routine-47131651\"> PopSugar<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to Kirschen, she would begin her workout with a gentle run spanning between three to five miles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After her run, Reese would do an upper-body weights workout before a 30-minute yoga session.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">To end her workout, Reese would finish with some breath work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In January 2023, she proudly displayed her toned tummy in a blue bra top and leggings from her very own clothing brand Draper James as she showed fans some of her yoga positions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Reese was working out on a patio while listening to a song from Lizzo. Her moves included lunges and side bends.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Besides yoga, Reese likes to keep fit by playing pickleball and hiking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">When it comes to food, Reese has\u00a0maintained that her diet is &#8216;all about balance.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Every morning I make a green smoothie,&#8217; she said, during a chat with Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie on their Table Manners podcast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I put in spinach, romaine lettuce, an apple, a pear, a banana, and a whole lemon.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">And while Jessie and Lennie looked unconvinced by Reese&#8217;s revelation, she insisted that she does actually enjoy drinking it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I&#8217;ve been drinking it for 10 years,&#8217; she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;It&#8217;s changed my skin, my hair\u2026 I&#8217;m telling you, it makes your eyes white, everything!&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-4ba96c00037db816\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/107238693-15658037-image-a-51_1773908411899.jpg\" height=\"683\" width=\"633\" alt=\"As for fitness, Reese is nothing but disciplined and ensures she works out every single day\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">As for fitness, Reese is nothing but disciplined and ensures she works out every single day<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She doesn&#8217;t add any other supplements to it because she prefers just enjoying &#8216;pure, fresh produce&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">As for the taste, she said it&#8217;s more &#8216;apple and lemon&#8217; than your traditional green smoothie.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Reese credited Django Unchained actress Kerry Washington for telling her about the recipe.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She said: &#8216;I sat next to her at an awards show, and I didn&#8217;t really know her, and I said your skin is so beautiful, what do you do?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;And she said, I think it&#8217;s from this drink that I drink, it&#8217;s just really changed my skin and it&#8217;s made my hair and nails really strong. So, thank you Kerry for sharing the recipe.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Of her snack preferences, she said she has an &#8216;apple with peanut butter&#8217; every day at 11am, as well as &#8216;tea and a cookie&#8217; at 4pm.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She likes protein-heavy meals for lunch and dinner \u2013 but it wasn&#8217;t always that way.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I didn&#8217;t always have good eating habits, coming from a little town in Nashville, Tennessee,&#8217; she previously admitted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I didn&#8217;t understand health or nutrition, I went completely off the rails.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I was lucky enough to have people come in my life and say, &#8216;look you&#8217;re not going to be able to sustain energy for 12, 14, 15-hour days if you don&#8217;t start eating right and exercising&#8217;.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In a previous post, Reese maintained her quest for a balanced diet as she revealed some of the items she can&#8217;t live without.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Among the items included in her list was fresh peaches in the summer, real yogurt soft serve, homemade chocolate, and tacos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She often has kale salad with some lentils or grilled chicken for lunch. Dinner is chicken or fish with dark greens.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;I don&#8217;t believe in crash dieting or anything like that&#8230; I work out all the time anyway just to stay healthy,&#8217; she told UsWeekly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">But she does have cheat days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In a 2016 interview with InStyle, Reese said once in a while she splurges with the Southern dish country fried steak, and she will also order pasta when at an Italian restaurant.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">For skincare, Reese\u00a0has spoken about her skincare routine throughout her career and even shared a step-by-step guide.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In 2021, she was announced as the global face of clean beauty brand Biossance after already falling in love with the products in lockdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>   <img decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-e02112aa22518f1e\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/100366479-15658037-Reese_Witherspoon_has_maintained_that_her_diet_is_all_about_bala-a-35_17738521854.jpeg\" height=\"859\" width=\"634\" alt=\"'Every morning I make a green smoothie,' she said, during a chat with Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie on their Table Manners podcast\" class=\"blkBorder img-share\" style=\"max-width:100%\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>   <\/p>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">&#8216;Every morning I make a green smoothie,&#8217; she said, during a chat with Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie on their Table Manners podcast<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Her go-to product is the brand&#8217;s Rose Oil, which has become a staple for her skincare routine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This step comes after Biossance&#8217;s Squalane Marine Algae Eye cream for an instant boost to tired-looking skin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">She then uses an application of Squalane + Vitamin C Dark Spot Serum and Squalane + Omega Repair Cream for a glowing complexion.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Reese said in a statement: &#8216;I have always been conscious of what&#8217;s being put on my skin, but after all the time I&#8217;ve spent on sets throughout my career, I&#8217;ve learned so much.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The actress has also been a longtime fan of Elizabeth Arden&#8217;s skincare products and keeps several on rotation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Among them are Elizabeth Arden Superstart Probiotic Cleanser, Superstart Skin Renewal Booster, and Prevage Progressive Renewal Treatment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">While she is inevitably getting older, Reese is not against ageing gracefully.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, one step she never misses is suncream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;We do talk about sunscreen a lot too. Whatever you do for your skin in your early 20s is really going to show up later in life.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;So sunscreen twice a day is a really important part of our routine,&#8217; she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"She shot to fame as Elle Woods in Legally Blonde in 2001 when she was just 25-years-old.
