Hudson told Harper's Bazaar that she loves ice cream, "My late night snack is always going to be in the ice cream department." However, the ice cream Hudson wants is dairy free. "As much as I'd love it to be like an old school Haagen-Dazs, they do great oat milk ice creams now. So I try to stay non-dairy because it's a little bit better for me. And mint chip I love because it's refreshing. But I really like a dulce de leche type … with chocolate chips."

"Your community—no matter who it is—can help you find balance! Don't expect yourself to be a super-human! It's just not possible."
