etimes.in | Mar 8, 2025, 03.35 AM IST
Meghan Markle's love for food is no secret. She has documented her culinary journey from the beginning, through her now-defunctional lifestyle blog The Tig, numerous interviews, and now in the new Netflix series With Love, Meghan. Food is more than just indulgence for her. She has previously described herself as "someone who not only loves but also appreciates the art and skill that goes into making good food." So how does someone who loves food so much stay fit? Nutritious diet. Though many of us assume diet food is boring and not palatable, the Duchess of Sussex will make you want to think again! Instead of being on a restrictive diet, Meghan follows a balanced and mindful approach to eating. Let’s dig into her simple yet nutritious diet.
Breakfast for the champions
Meghan Markle is really a believer in breakfasts. The Duchess likes to start her morning with a cup of hot water, and a slice of lemon to give her day a jump start. This drink also boosts digestion. This is followed by oats with bananas and agave syrup for sweetness. She has recently expressed that she enjoys having breakfast with her children and husband.
All hearts for seasonal produce
Meghan Markle absolutely enjoys eating fresh, organic, and seasonal produce. During episode two of the series, Meghan invited Mindy Kaling to a garden tea party. She spoke about how the Duchess sent 50 homemade jams to her friends including Kaling. From raspberries to citrus fruits and vegetables, Meghan Markle grows most of the things that she adds to her diet.
Simple home-cooked meals
Meghan Markle loves to cook, but like many home cooks, she too loves simple recipes. In the Netflix series, she cooks a one-pot pasta, which is divine. With ingredients like cherry tomatoes, garlic, spaghetti, kale, arugula, and Parmesan, she cooks a sumptuous meal, that is healthy and also easy to make. And the perks are that you don't have to do a lot of dishes! By cooking food at home, you have control over ingredients, so no hidden calories there.
Herbal teas and green juices
The Duchess cannot do without her teas and green juices. In the series, she prepared some turmeric lemon tea for her guests, and it is equally good for the gut and skin. "Green juice is a food-as-medicine philosophy for me," Meghan once said. She skips caffeine in the afternoon and instead has her go-to green juice which has ingredients like kale, spirulina, matcha, spinach, romaine, and blueberries. These ingredients are packed with antioxidants and nutrients.

Meghan Markle prefers protein-packed lunches such as salads with a choice of protein. She adds fluffy omelets for protein. Her snacks are mostly homemade popcorn with seasoning of choice, and fresh fruits such as apples, bananas, and berries as healthy snacks.
Well, that doesn't mean she avoids any indulgence. Once in a while, she enjoys wine, in fact, it's her dessert! She also loves to eat french fries and dark chocolate. She finds the perfect balance when it comes to her diet.
