Dita Von Teese’s Diet
Summary
Von Teese has particular tastes in all things, including food. She is fairly strict with herself during the day, choosing healthy vegan options so she can then enjoy whatever she craves for the evening meal. She opts for gluten-free carbs such as millet bread and buckwheat, and prefers salty over sweet. She also likes to flavor her food with exotic spices like cardamom, smoked sea salt, and truffles. She travels with a Vitamix blender so she can make her own green smoothies, and makes big pots of soup so she always has something healthy on hand. She also has a penchant for fancy mustard.
