John Legend Admits To Eating Salad For Breakfast And We Have So Many Questions
With a supermodel-turned-celeb-chef wife like Chrissy Teigen, we would've expected more from John Legend's breakfast routine-but no. Rather than indulging on her Crab Cake Benedict or famed French Toast Casserole, the "All of Me" singer opts for an a.m. salad, which, frankly, seems a little weird at first.
In fact, Chrissy agrees: "The shock has worn off, but when I started doing it [Chrissy] was like, 'What are you doing?'" John told PEOPLE. Ultimately, his decision to go green had nothing to do with an early morning craving for kale; instead, he admits the habit was driven by health concern. "My doctor told me that I needed more antioxidants in my diet because I had hereditary cholesterol issues, and he told me that adding vegetables was a good way to address it, so I started having something green with every meal," he continued. "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
While Chrissy's New York Times bestselling cookbook Cravings: Hungry For More might have a more enticing approach to salad, her husband's recipe is simple: leafy greens and a little vinaigrette. "Not much else," he admits.
