Inside Giada De Laurentiis’ Wildly Unconventional Breakfast Routine (And What Fans Think)

Who isn’t curious about how famous people start their mornings? People love seeing stars’ daily habits, from skincare to that first meal. When it’s a chef like Giada De Laurentiis, we really listen to what breakfast looks like then.

Giada recently shared her morning on Instagram. Her breakfast choices generated a lot of discussion. It wasn’t the usual smoothie or avocado toast. Far more unique, truly. Kinda surprising for someone so Italian.

First thing each morning, even before coffee, Giada reaches for chicken broth. Yes, that’s right, broth. She adds collagen powder to it. It’s nice and warm, providing more protein, she said. It also helps regulate her blood sugar. Sounds comforting to begin the day.

This warm liquid isn’t just for her. She shared a sweet moment online, mentioning that even Bella loves it. That’s her adorable dog liking it. Bella is a fan of the broth habit, which adds charm to her unusual start.

Drinking warm liquid first is not new. But the choice of drink has recently changed. She told someone that she used to drink espresso before. A double espresso – very Italian, isn’t it? She found that in her 50s, her needs changed. Her stomach wasn’t loving that habit anymore. Broth allows her to keep having warm drinks without acidity causing her discomfort.

But the broth is just the start. After that savory drink, she eats more. It is either buckwheat cereal or oatmeal. Both are savory, made with olive oil. This surprises people a lot. Cereal usually means sugar and fruit.

Giada seasons her buckwheat cereal with salt, olive oil, and almonds. Oil and salt in cereal sound weird, don’t they? Not cinnamon and brown sugar, typically. She really likes warm breakfasts. It starts her day off right. It’s really a simple dish – grains with healthy fat and crunch.

She posted about olive oil oatmeal before. She said people were pretty surprised. A savory breakfast wasn’t common then. Oats are a neutral base that’s easy to change. You can dress them up however you want, she noted. A savory take unlocks new potential and matches her Italian style with olive oil.

Giada sticks to her routine when traveling. If she is on the road, she makes it work. She gets oatmeal from Starbucks there and makes it work, she said. It’s a relatable way to keep habits too. Even chefs use easy options. They adapt them to their needs, maybe adding olive oil.

Naturally, fans had a lot to say online. Comments across platforms lit up. Reactions were of surprise and curiosity too. Savory buckwheat cereal got a lot of interest. Can I have that recipe?” asked one person. People wanted to try the strange dish.

Another user liked the cereal tip. “Wow, I love how you eat it,” they wrote. “I will try it,” they said. They highlighted the simplicity with no sweet additions – no fruit or anything, they noted. Her savory approach was striking to fans.

Fans also commented on Giada’s looks, speculating if her diet made her youthful. This is common with celebrity wellness. Her followers made quick connections.

While Giada’s morning habit provides a conversation starter, it’s just a glimpse. The unique food world she has built over the years is much bigger. Beyond the surprisingly savory breakfast start, her approach to food keeps sparking discussions. People discuss comfort food with a twist and how to refine their restaurant visits.
