Orlando Bloom’s Diet
Diet Summary
A committed environmentalist, Bloom describes his diet as ‘90% plant-based.’ His primary motivation for eating (mostly) vegan is concern for the planet and love of animals. He eats whole, natural foods, and only has red meat about once a month, choosing the best quality he can get. Otherwise, it’s all plants for him. Oatmeal is a daily staple, as is tea. Lunch is veggies or stew. He famously enjoyed Burger King’s plant-based Impossible Burger. He drinks plenty of water every day, and is taking break from booze, at least temporarily.
