The Surprising Ingredient Jennifer Anniston Adds to Her Oatmeal
Break-ups are hard. When two people part, the best thing they can both do is walk away with the memories and most importantly, the lessons, they learned from each other. A celebrity often breaks their silence following a very public split to express their struggles, to confirm (or more often deny) a juicy tidbit of gossip, or to announce their "I'm doing me for a while" era.
Following her breakup with actor Justin Theroux, I did not expectJennifer Aniston to reveal that her ex-husband changed the way she made oatmeal, her favorite breakfast dish. The twist? Thanks to Justin Theroux, Jen never forgets 1 ingredient to turn her bowl of oats from flat to fluffy to the max: egg whites.
Incorporating egg whites gives the oatmeal a creamy, fluffy texture and also boosts the amount of protein in your breakfast, which can help keep you feeling full until lunchtime.
To have breakfast like Jennifer Aniston, cook your oatmeal on the stovetop according to package directions or until you achieve your preferred consistency. Once the oatmeal is nearly done, whisk in egg whites (about one or two) until they're fully incorporated. Continue to cook, stirring constantly to prevent the eggs from scrambling, until the egg whites are fully cooked and the oatmeal is creamy. Finish with your favorite toppings.

Once I stumbled on Jennifer Aniston's hack for upping the protein in her morning oatmeal with one simple mix-in, I knew I had to try it. Certainly the Friends star must be on to something, right? Now, egg white oatmeal has become my new favorite breakfast.
Lucky for us, she's spilling exactly how she gets so radiant: Collagen. She's been incorporating the skin and hair savior into her daily routine for years, so it's only fitting that one of her newest roles is as Chief Creative Officer for Vital Proteins, a collagen supplement brand.
The salad Jen ate on the set of Friends was a Cobb Salad, while this salad is a riff on a tabbouleh. She shared it years ago on Instagram with the caption “My perfect salad”, and was nice enough to also list the ingredients that were inside her bowl. Celebrities — they're just like us!
Oatmeal is nutritionally rich. It has more protein than most grains and also contains numerous vitamins and minerals. It contains antioxidants and a soluble fiber called beta-glucan, which aids several systems of the body. The beta-glucan soluble fiber promotes regular emptying of the bowel and prevents constipation.
When lunch comes around, she's hungry for something more substantial. "I'll usually have lunch around one or two, and it's usually some form of vegetables and a protein."
The star actually puts a lot of effort into her anti-aging routine, and collagen supplements take center stage. Aniston is such a collagen devotee, she signed on as Chief Creative Officer at Vital Proteins, where she helped develop a line of collagen peptide powders that she personally swears by.
According to the recall notice, nearly 60,000 24-oz.canisters of the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides powder may contain plastic shards — specifically, pieces of a broken blue plastic lid that may have found their way into the collagen powder.
“When I wake up, I have warm lemon water and then I have a shake or avocado and eggs, which is one of my favorites,” Aniston says. “I sprinkle a little coconut oil on that. Sometimes I'll have a puffed millet cereal with a banana, or I'll do oatmeal with an egg white whipped in at the end.”
Jennifer Aniston has revealed her favourite comfort food - nachos. The Hollywood star, 55, often indulges in the cheesy treat, and even once admitted that she would still eat nachos even if they had fallen on the floor. “I love Mexican food in general,” she later said, doubling down on her obsession.
Whether it's steel-cut or rolled, quick-cooking or instant, oatmeal is good for you, experts say—with a few caveats. Oatmeal is rich in fiber, which promotes fullness, eases the insulin response, and benefits gut health. It's also a source of vitamins B and E, and minerals such as magnesium.
