Meghan Markle has had to change a lot of things since becoming the Duchess of Sussex — no selfies, no autographs, no social media, no dark nails, no shellfish and no sleeping until the Queen is asleep are just a few — but something she’s been able to hold on to are her favorite meals.

Old Photo | Good morning! I tell you that I have been a little absent from Instagram because I have the flu 🤒 for a week and my mood is not the best, I hope to get better soon and come back completely.

In an interview with Delish, the Duchess dished on her favorite meals to have on a day to day basis. Keep scrolling to check out what Meghan Markle opts for when it’s time to eat:

I went for a run this morning and my music stopped working ten minutes in, so you’d think I’d spend my time thinking about breakfast and have my mind made up by when I got home. Nope 😬 I’m as indecisive as it gets! So I made the never-fail breakfast: cauli oats with allll the toppings 🙌🏻😍 We are planning on a low key Saturday, playing some tennis and hitting up the farmers market! Happy Saturday, everyone!! ♥️

Breakfast:

Markle has started her days with hot water and lemon since she’s been acting. While it does help soothe your throat for a day’s worth of talking, it also soothes your stomach and helps aid and improve digestion.

When it comes to time have breakfast, Markle opts for steel-cut oats with sliced bananas and a drizzle of agave syrup. While topping your oatmeal with agave may not be the healthiest option (it’s nutritional value is that of high-fructose corn syrup), you can opt for cinnamon or nutmeg to add extra sweetness to your morning meal.

my goal in life? never eat another boring salad. ever. enter this grilled balsamic chicken cobb salad –> marinated grilled chicken, sweet balsamic vinaigrette, lots of fresh greens, tomatoes, bacon, avocado and a little cheese. LOADED and so delicious. Perfect for summer lunches and dinner outside.

Lunch:

When it comes to lunch, the former actress dives into a high-protein salad. Adding protein like fish or chicken to your salad, along with a good amount of veggies, is great for ensuring you’re energized throughout the rest of the day while keeping cravings to a minimum. Try to stay away from greens like kale and broccoli during lunchtime seeing as they’re harder to digest which can cause bloating and fatigue.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH because, Monday 🍪🙆🏻‍♀️ I got several requests to make this recipe more like the classic chocolate chip cookie dough as opposed to my other recipe that tastes more like peanut butter cookie dough. BOTH GOOD, but this one tastes more like your classic chocolate chip cookie dough. I dare ya not to eat the whole thing 🤣 Wishing you all a great week!! ♥️ • In a food processor place rinse and drained chickpeas + 2 Tbls melted and cooled coconut oil + dash of sea salt + 1/2 tsp vanilla and princess until smooth. May have to stop and crape down the sides or add almond milk to get things moving. If you do add almond milk, add by the tablespoon. Once fully processed and smooth, add 1/4 cup coconut sugar and pulse until incorporated. Fold in 1/3 cup chocolate chips and serve chilled with pretzels or graham crackers!

Snacks:

Everyone snacks, including the Duchess, who remains healthy in her snacking choices with options like apples with almond butter, green juice, or a handful of raw almonds. The natural sugar in apples is great for kicking sweet tooth cravings to the curb. As for green juice, Markle claims "is a food-as-medicine philosophy" for her, meaning she’ll reach for a green juice if she’s in need of a midday boost, never to replace a meal. Markle also swears by a handful of raw almonds — she claims they keep her skin clear.

Dinner:

While Meghan Markle does keep a gluten-free diet, for the most part, she still enjoys a good ol’ bowl of pasta. Her go-to recipe is pasta with a zucchini-infused sauce that has the taste and texture of buttery deliciousness, sans the butter. To make the sauce, Markle cooks zucchini for four-five hours until it becomes "filthy, sexy mush," according to Delish.

Markle also loves herself some wine. Back before her Duchess days, she had written about her love for wine on her personal blog and it turns out, some things never change. The Duchess would still prefer wine with her dinner than a chocolate alternative afterwards. Just imagine how big the glasses would be if she spent an evening with Olivia Pope.
