How much do you spend per week?
Casey [Johnson, Marnie’s boyfriend] and I spend about £200 a week. We used to be really bad for constantly going to the supermarket. We’d do a really big shop and then, three days later, we were back again. We have been going less during lockdown though.
What’s your daily diet?
I make my own smoothie for breakfast with frozen berries, kale, coconut water, yoghurt, pumpkin seeds, cocoa and supplements like spirulina.
For lunch, we’ll have something like salmon, rice and feta while dinner might be beef burgers with salad, instead of chips, so they’re not as naughty. I used to eat so badly but I suffer with chronic UTIs and the doctor told me improving my diet would help, so I’ve been eating loads of fruit and veg and it has helped. I feel better for it.
What’s the strangest thing you’ve ever eaten?
I’m not too adventurous, so I haven’t tried frogs’ legs or snails or anything! I’ve had caviar before and I really didn’t like it.
Is there anything you refuse to eat?
I hate mushrooms, there’s something about the texture of them! They’re just gross.

The verdict
Nutritionist Juliette Kellow says, “Marnie’s fridge is packed with foods from the four main groups: fruit and veg, starchy foods, dairy and protein-packed foods. This makes it easy for her to create nutritious meals. I’d suggest that sometimes she swaps breakfast smoothies for whole fruits, nuts, seeds, yoghurt and toasted oats, as chewing triggers signals that help to let us know we’re getting full.”
