Always the same breakfast

According to Marca, the Duchess of Cambridge eats the same thing for breakfast every morning:a bowl of oatmeal and a smoothie.

Kate Middleton's breakfast smoothie incorporates nutrient-dense foods such as kale, spinach, and spirulina. According to the publication, they are rumoured to be among the Princess’ favourites.

According to Forbes, spirulina is often considered a superfood, which has been marketed as a supplement since the 1970s. Research suggests that spirulina has many health benefits. It can help with reducing cholesterol, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease. It can also help to lower blood pressure, and promote a healthy digestive system, to name a few health benefits.

Healthy food habits

Princess Kate’s healthy diet doesn’t stop there. She is rumoured to indulge in watermelon salads with avocado, cucumber, and feta.

Avocados are also considered a ‘superfood’. According to Health, they are full of anti-ageing and disease-fighting antioxidants. On top of this, they are packed with close to 20 different vitamins and minerals.

Other dishes the Princess of Wales is rumoured to enjoy are tabbouleh salad and ceviche, a Peruvian seafood dish. Lentil curry and soups are also a big hit for the Princess.
