Love Island star and Aussie import, Jessie Wynter, reveals her go-to snacks and her favourite meal she cooks for boyfriend Will Young.
How much do you spend?
Around £40 a week on food shopping. I’ve just moved from Australia to the UK and I’m enjoying trying lots of new British foods that I’ve never had before.
Describe your daily diet…
For breakfast I always like to have a high protein and high fibre meal. It’s my biggest meal of the day, so I’ll have a big bowl of oats with Greek yoghurt, blueberries and honey on top. I usually go for a lighter lunch, so I’ll whip up a chicken salad.
I’ll either have chicken prepared in the fridge or just buy some from the store and chuck it together with salad ingredients. I love to get my veggies in at dinner time. I’ll have carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potato and then my main protein source will be chicken, steak or salmon.
What do you snack on?
I love a good muesli bar and making smoothies. I’d have banana, a nice chocolate protein powder, yoghurt and I usually use oatmeal and chuck in chia seeds and peanut butter as well.
What do you refuse to eat?
I don’t really like rice or the taste of celery.
What would you cook to impress?
A nice bowl of creamy pasta with garlic bread. It’s my favourite and it’s my boyfriend Will’s favourite too.
Favourite tipple?
I do love a cheeky glass of Prosecco.
Verdict
Nutritionist Juliette Kellow says, “Jessie has a great approach to meals. A satisfying breakfast provides plenty of energy and nutrients at the start of a busy day. It’s great to see lots of protein-rich foods like chicken, fish, eggs and seeds on the menu – good for maintaining muscle – and fruit and veg, which are good for everything from healthy skin and hair to a strong immune and nervous system.”
