Morgan is an LA-based gal, and a new mom to the cutest lil’ guy. She’s totally got that effortless California-cool thing going on, and a glowing complexion to boot. We asked Morgan to give us the dish on what she eats and drinks on the daily. Note to self: drink more water and make her oat cookies.

 

Do you have any restrictions on what you eat?

I eat a mostly plant-based diet, having eggs and fish occasionally. I don't eat any dairy or refined sugar, as I have just found that my body functions better when I eliminate those things. 

I am a huge water drinker--at least 3 liters a day. Without that much, I feel like my skin gets dry and I get headaches. I have coffee in the morning. I have the occasional glass of wine, but find that even half a glass leaves me feeling groggy when I wake up, so I tend to avoid it. 

What is your go-to healthy lunch?

I love warm foods, so I usually make a giant bowl with brown rice, veggies, and avocado. Sometimes I will add a poached egg if I feel I need a little extra protein that day.

“Being a mom, I have to go for what is convenient and quick.”

 
 

What do you normally snack on throughout the day?

I make these yummy oat cookies that are great on the go. Being a mom, I have to go for what is convenient and quick, so I always have these, a banana, or some granola with me. 

What time do you eat dinner?

Typically after my son goes to sleep, so around 7:30 p.m.. I find that to get a great night's sleep, I need a full stomach, so I can't have dinner too early. 

How often do you eat out or do delivery?

Delivery probably once a week--typically sushi--and we eat out once or twice a week for dinner and lunch.

When you eat out, are there any staples you always order?

I love pasta, especially if it is homemade. If there is a yummy pasta dish on the menu that has lots of veggies, even better. I will order that without any cheese.

 

What’s your Starbucks/coffee shop order?

Black coffee, maybe a splash of almond milk.

Cocktails, wine, or neither? What’s your drink of choice?

Red wine if I decide to have a drink. If I'm on vacation somewhere tropical, of course I will have a margarita!

What’s your fave cookbook, website, or Instagram account for food inspo?

I really like all of Gwyneth Paltrow's cookbooks, and Melissa Wood's Instagram for easy, delicious, plant-based meal ideas.
