Carrie Underwood shows no signs of stopping now as she extends her Las Vegas residency to 2024. The singer has been a mega star in the country realm since her days on American Idol — so what's her secret to being constantly on the go? Aside from her workout routine (who isn’t jealous of her legs?!) Underwood is vegan and swears by eating whole foods aligned with a protein-packed diet.
According to an interview with Women’s Health, the celeb opts for a breakfast of an egg-white scramble, Ezekiel toast, fruit, and coffee. Like the rest of us, Underwood is always carrying a snack, such as a protein bar or a green smoothie. How does she get that extra protein in? In an interview with SELF, the singer revealed that she swears by pea protein powder, which consists of amino acids, has a high iron count, and is easily digestible (per Cleveland Clinic). So we found some options on Amazon for you — ya know, to boost that daily protein intake. The Sprout Living Organic Pea Protein Powder is only $22.64 and is advertised to have a sweet, mild flavor derived from yellow peas. Plus, it’s plant-based, non-dairy, non-GMO, vegan and gluten-free. Underwood will throw the powder into a vanilla smoothie with half a banana, a cup of berries, almond milk, and ice.
If you're looking to splurge on a bigger container, the NOW Sports Nutrition Pea Protein may serve more bang for your buck at $52.94. The container is advised to be vegan with no soy or dairy — simply throw one scoop into your favorite beverage and blend. Although it is delicious, you don’t have to throw the powder into a smoothie like Carrie Underwood — water or juice are great alternative options, too! The rest of the country singer’s diet is very vegetable-heavy, with foods like vegetarian burritos or tofu stir-fry taking up her dinner plate. Now, all we need is step-by-step directions to her leg workout routine, and we are good to go.
