Wellness to Petra Nemcova is about feeling good as much as it is about appearances. The philanthropist and model approach health holistically, including fueling her body with good, mouthwatering cuisine. “Cooking is my way of tending to myself,” she explains. “That is a kind of self-love.”
Vegetable-Based Energy
Mostly plant-based, Petra’s diet consists in vivid fruits and vegetables. She thinks plants have great healing and energising ability for the body. A colourful quinoa salad loaded with fresh greens, cherry tomatoes, and a zesty lemon-tahini vinaigrette is one of her go-to dishes.
She says, “It’s full of nutrients and really easy to make.” While the vegetables give antioxidants and important elements, quinoa offers a good supply of protein and fibre.
Breakfast Smoothies: Bowls
Starting her day with a revitalising smoothie bowl makes Petra happy. “It’s like having breakfast’s dessert but completely healthy,” she explains.
Her ideal mix calls for frozen berries, spinach, almond milk, a scoop of protein powder, all mixed together and topped with oats and chia seeds. Her full lasts for hours and this nutrient-dense meal provides the energy she needs to handle her hectic day.
Healthy Treatments
Regarding snacks, Petra chooses healthy choices that will fuel her body between meals. She says, “I’m always on the go so I need snacks that are simple to carry and keep me energised.”
Among her favourite are raw almonds, apple slices topped with almond butter, or a handful of mixed nuts.
