What 'Running Point's Kate Hudson Eats in a Day To Maintain Her Lean Physique
Kate Hudson is 45 and in phenomenal shape. In addition to her dedication to an active lifestyle, the How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actress is purposeful with her diet. So, what does Kate Hudson actually eat in a day to maintain her lean physique?
As a busy mom of three, Hudson somehow finds time to do it all. She's a strategic adviser for the athleisure brand, Fabletics, which she co-founded in 2013. The Running Point star also co-founded the supplement brand InBloom, in addition to dropping her music debut album in 2024. Let's take a closer look at how she fuels herself for her multiple career endeavors.
She Begins Her Day With Coffee and a Post-Workout Smoothie
"My morning is simple. I wake up, I move my body a bit. I have warm water and black coffee," Hudson told Women's Health. After that, the actress likes to work out and prepare a protein-packed smoothie made with her InBloom powders.
"I don't like pills, personally. So when I get a handful of pills to take three times a day, I feel really overwhelmed," she explained. "You can throw these [powders] in a smoothie where you'll be more likely to do that than take a daily vitamin."
A favorite breakfast smoothie of Hudson's contains strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, banana, oat milk, honey, mint, and lemon juice, which she completed with InBloom protein powder.
For Breakfast, She Keeps It Simple
Previously, Hudson dished on what a "typical breakfast" looks like to her during an interview with Harper's BAZAAR. It's usually one of two options.
"One is two soft-boiled eggs with some sourdough and butter and avocado with olive oil and sea salt," she shared. "Then, I'll do an oatmeal with, like, almond butter and banana and maybe some blueberries, some maple syrup, cinnamon, chia seeds. Maybe some walnuts in there or maybe more almonds."

For lunch, Hudson Typically Opts for a Salad
Lunchtime for Hudson is either a salad, or if she's on the go, a smoothie.
"A smoothie for me would be like a protein-based drink," she told Harper's BAZAAR. "I like the chocolatey-type flavors like banana and almond butter and chocolate, that kind of thing."
If she opts for a salad, Hudson said she'll "eat anything, really."
The Almost Famous star elaborated, "But a chopped salad, that's kind of a go-to for me. Here in L.A., La Scala is like a staple and they do the most amazing chopped salad; I do extra salami, no cheese, cucumbers, no tomatoes, basil, and extra dressing."

She Has a Couple of Go-to Favorites for Dinner
One of Hudson's go-to meals she enjoys with her family is a nutmeg chicken with shallots. She prepares it with lemon and fresh herbs and serves it with nutmeg gravy and rice.
Additionally, Hudson likes to make sweet corn pasta—with pancetta, peas, corn, white wine, butter, olive oil, and cream—that her kids love. Although Hudson admitted it's "not the healthiest," she promised, "it's real good."
With all of this in mind, Hudson admitted that she's okay with her daily eating habits occasionally veering from the norm.
"If I want to go out and eat at a restaurant with amazing food, I'll do that, like, once a week where I'm not thinking about it," she told SELF. "I want to indulge! I want to do things that are not necessarily healthy sometimes."
