Beyond the sensationalism and gossip about celebrities, the culinary habits of the first lady of a country like the United States are more important than it may seem at first glance.
If Michelle Obama, a few years ago, was an advocate of "healthy" and encouraged all Americans to eat healthy and exercise with the Let's Move initiative; she now takes over from Melania Trump. A notoriously lonely woman, who tends to be on the fringes of politics and, fortunately, doesn't have the same culinary tastes as her husband.
The First Lady's Breakfasts
If Donald Trump likes Coca-Cola, Melania prefers smoothies. This is reflected in the photographs that she has on occasion wanted to share with her followers on social networks along with the description “delicious and healthy breakfast every day”.
Organic fruits and vegetables, mixed with fat-free yogurts and seasoned with olive oil, flaxseeds, Omega-3 supplements and vitamin D. It is one of the examples that the first lady gives as an ideal breakfast.
Lots of fruit, but fewer vegetables
On occasion Melania Trump has revealed that she eats seven pieces of fruit a day, although she has also admitted in an appearance on The Martha Stewart Show that she is a bit more selective when it comes to vegetables: she said, for example, that she doesn't eat onions and she doesn't like artichokes.
Yes to 'fast food', but only from time to time
Melania prefers to eat healthily, but if she has to visit a fast food establishment in a hurry, she doesn't hesitate to do so either. For example, in 2017, when she traveled to Texas to meet with victims of Hurricane Harvey, she was seen visiting a Whataburger. Although really, little is known about the order that she ordered from the franchise. Maybe it was a salad?
Your favorite recipe
She confessed to New York Magazine, her favorite dish "of all time" is the chicken parmigianino from the New York restaurant Jean Georges. An establishment that the same media describes as "very pro Trump", given the style of the place and the characters that frequent it.
Chocolate and ice cream, his two confessable vices
For Melania, it's good to have both “every once in a while”. Something that contrasts with her husband's dessert preferences, since in an exclusive interview with Time magazine, the first lady revealed that he receives two scoops of vanilla ice cream on his chocolate cream cake, instead of a spoonful unique like all the others
Diet Coke
Both Melania and her husband Donald share a taste for this drink. Although the amounts they consume are quite different – according to the New York Times, the president drinks up to 12 cans of this soft drink a day. If Donald doesn't care about the container, Melania prefers to drink it in glass bottles.
