What The World's Most Famous People Drink Every Morning Gallery
While you sleep, you dehydrate. It is essential to wake up and drink something (hopefully water) to replenish your body. But after careful research, we have discovered that the world's most famous people don't always wake up and chug H20. In fact, many of them start their mornings with coffee, smoothies, juices, and tea. We can't say for sure that their beverage choices directly relate to their successes — but we can't say for sure that they don't!
Drinking like a celebrity every morning may not make you as rich, powerful, or famous as they are. Making Gwyneth Paltrow's $200 smoothie may make your skin glow, but it will make your bank account fade. You definitely shouldn't have as many cans of Diet Coke as Bill Gates enjoys at the office, and Selena Gomez's morning health tonic might make your throat burn.
No, you won't become an international pop star or coffee chain CEO overnight by chugging these drinks, but you will have something in common with the world's most famous people by drinking as they do every morning.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow made headlines with a recipe for a morning smoothie that costs almost $200, which her Goop website says she drinks "every morning, whether or not she's detoxing." Ingredients include Moon Juice Vanilla Mushroom Adaptogenic Protein, Maca, Ashwagandha, He Shou Wu, Cordyces, pink mountain salt, and Moon Juice dusts.
Bill Gates
Bill Gates detailed on his personal blog GatesNotes, that once he gets to his office in the morning, he drinks a can of Diet Coke. The multi-billionaire says, "over the course of the day I might drink three or four." While he also mentioned that that adds up to around 35 pounds of aluminum a year, he forgot to mention how much artificial sweetener he is drinking... spoiler alert, it's a lot. Switch to hot water with lemon Bill!
Howard Schultz
The man who made Starbucks what it is today begins his mornings with a cup of coffee from his own brand. "I get up between 5 and 5:30, and naturally the first thing I do is make some coffee," he revealed to CNN Money. "Depending on my mood, it's either an espresso macchiato or one of our Indonesian coffees in a French press."
Venus Williams
One of the world's best athletes, Venus Williams, fuels up every morning with a smoothie of her own invention made with Silk almond milk, banana, protein powder, and avocado. She told Bon Appétit: "It's healthy, it takes on the flavor of anything in there, and it really sticks to your ribs."
Anthony Bourdain
Bad boy chef and TV host Anthony Bourdain has two cups of coffee every morning. While he doesn't take it black, his description of how he likes his coffee is exactly how you thought it would be. The Parts Unknown star revealed to Bon Appétit: "There are few things I care about less than coffee. I have two big cups every morning: light and sweet, preferably in a cardboard cup. Any bodega will do. I don't want to wait for my coffee. I don't want some man-bun, Mumford and Sons motherf*cker to get it for me. I like good coffee but I don't want to wait for it, and I don't want it with the cast of Friends. It's a beverage; it's not a lifestyle."
Naomi Campbell
Naomi Campbell has never liked the smell of coffee. She told Harper's Bazaar that she starts her mornings with a cup of hot water with lemon and probiotics. Healthy!
Cynthia Nixon
Current New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon is surprisingly not a total Miranda when it comes to her morning beverage. Whereas Sex and the City viewers know there are few things Miranda loves more than a cup of coffee, Nixon is a big fan of tea. "All different kinds, both iced and hot, green, jasmine, lemongrass and fruity black tea (but the English kind, so it's very strong)," she told The New Potato.
Meghan Markle
The future Mrs. Prince Harry told The New Potato that she loves to start her mornings off with a Clean Cleanse vanilla shake blended with blueberries. Yum!
Jennifer Aniston
It's all about a breakfast shake for Jennifer Aniston. She told Well and Good that she loves a good protein shake with bananas, blueberries, frozen cherries, stevia, some sort of vegetable mix, maca powder, cacao, and a collagen peptide to keep her skin radiant.
Queen Elizabeth II
As documented by a biographer, Her Royal Highness enjoys Twinings' English breakfast tea in a bone china cup and saucer, served with milk. As if you could picture her drinking literally anything else in the A.M.
Oprah
The American queen, aka Oprah, makes an espresso every morning after walking her dogs. Winfrey told Harper's Bazaar that she mixes caffeinated and decaffeinated espresso with milk and "a little hazelnut."
Anna Wintour
Fashion icon Anna Wintour drinks coffee not only every morning, but also all day. It was pointed out by the Guardian that the most feared woman in fashion is constantly spotted holding a Starbucks, much like the character inspired by her in the film The Devil Wears Prada.
Steven Spielberg
As The Daily Meal has previously reported, Steven Spielberg doesn't drink coffee. He relies on energy from copious cups of mint tea.
Barack Obama
Obama skips coffee and opts for water, juice, or green tea when he has breakfast. Obama's personal aide told Business Insider that our former president also likes to start his mornings with a workout.
Selena Gomez
The most followed person on Instagram starts her morning with a little kick! Gomez told James Corden during one of his Carpool Karaoke segments that she begins her morning with a ginger shot. Gomez claims that the shots "kill all of the bad things" in your system.
