With a supermodel-turned-celeb-chef wife like Chrissy Teigen, we would've expected more from John Legend's breakfast routine—but no. Rather than indulging on her Crab Cake Benedict or famed French Toast Casserole, the "All of Me" singer opts for an a.m. salad, which, frankly, seems a little weird at first.
In fact, Chrissy agrees: "The shock has worn off, but when I started doing it [Chrissy] was like, 'What are you doing?'" John told PEOPLE. Ultimately, his decision to go green had nothing to do with an early morning craving for kale; instead, he admits the habit was driven by health concern. "My doctor told me that I needed more antioxidants in my diet because I had hereditary cholesterol issues, and he told me that adding vegetables was a good way to address it, so I started having something green with every meal," he continued. "Breakfast, lunch, and dinner."
While Chrissy's New York Times bestselling cookbook Cravings: Hungry For More might have a more enticing approach to salad, her husband's recipe is simple: leafy greens and a little vinaigrette. "Not much else," he admits.
We support you in your health journey and everything, but here's a thought: Try a salad with a little more excitement! Does it still count if it's got bacon?
