Vegetarian Star

Gwyneth Paltrow recommends a vegan, organic hair care line in the latest edition in her online newsletter, Goop.

It’s hair week on Goop, and Paltrow’s got all the tips you need for styling, including combs, cutting, curling and conditioning.

Rahua, products developed from a nut found in the Amazon, is listed as a Goop favorite. The products are vegan, organic and free of parabens, using ingredients such as rahua nut oil, wheat germ protein, aloe vera and vegetable glycerin.

Gwyneth Paltrow has recently shared on her blog, Goop, the diet and fitness regime she adhered to while getting fit for her new role in Iron Man 2.

Paltrow is known for her use of ingredients that, although many vegetarians find as staples, like vegan Mayonnaise, has brought her ridicule and called an elitist.

Ahlanlive took advantage of her latest newsletter entry to mock her diet, citing what Paltrow uses in her world, versus what regular Joe’s use in theirs.

GOOP World: 7am: Wake up, have a green tea
Real World: 7am: Alarm goes off. Unpeel tongue from roof of mouth. Momentarily wish was dead as preferential to getting up and going to work. Hit snooze button.

GOOP World: Post-workout: Kale Juice (kale, lemons, agave nectar, cold water)
Real World: What the hell is agave nectar?

GOOP World: 1pm Lunch: 1 Mountain Valley Wrap, 1.5 tablespoons of Almond Butter, Chopped Dates
Real World: “Hello, is that More? Yeah, can I get a lasagne for delivery, please? Yep, that’s it, thanks. No nothing else.” Pause. “And chips.”

Is your life closer to Goop World or Real World?

Gwyneth Paltrow has given her Goop readers some details about how she got into shape for her latest role as Pepper Pots in Iron Man 2.

Besides the exercises shown in the video below that resemble some sort of dog relieving himself on the fire hydrant, Gwneth’s routine included some vegan wraps smothered in nut butter and kale juice!

Breakfasts consisted of almond milk with fruit, and lunches often had Gwyneth consuming tortilla wraps with almond butter and dates or avocado, tomato, cucumbers and jicama slivers.

Huh?

Jicama is a sweet root plant that resembles a turnip.

It’s cultivated in South America and very popular in Mexican cuisines.

Head on over to Goop to get the wrap recipes.

Gwyneth Paltrow packs her kids’ lunch boxes with plenty of vegetarian sushi and almond butter and jelly sandwiches.

This was revealed in the latest edition of Goop, the actress’ online newsletter.

According to Gwyneth, veggie sushi is, “A great way to use leftover cooked rice and sneak some extra vegetables into your kid’s diet—not to mention a great way to get rid of those extra soy sauce packages that always seem to accumulate in the kitchen drawer.”

No kidding.

How many times have you thrown away those dozens of soy sauce packages, along with the two dozen more salt and pepper condiments that have hardened since your last visit from Chinese take out?

Be eco-friendly and save money by using them before purchasing similar condiments from the grocery.

Gwyneth’s recipe uses asparagus wrapped inside sheets of Nori and brown rice, but adds you can substitute any vegetable you’d like, including carrots, cucumbers or mushrooms.

Nori makes a great substitute for bread or tortilla wraps and is rich in Iodine and Vitamins A and C.

Gwyneth Paltrow‘s husband and Coldplay singer Chris Martin is one cheap vegetarian.

Although Gwyneth tries to constantly introduce higher end organic foods to her husband, he refuses and wants to spend as little money as possible.

“Chris is terrible. The cheaper the better and I think he’s transferred it to (son) Moses. When I try to give my husband a piece of (organic chocolate) Green & Black’s, he’s like, ‘Get that stuff away from me,” Paltrow said.

That’s a bummer, considering organic chocolate comes with all the goodness of all the antioxidant benefits of flavonoids found in cocoa minus the head lice shampoo.

Yes, that’s right.

Lindane is a chemical that is used in head lice treatment that was banned in U.S. crops, but may still be used on cocoa plants in other countries.

And in the U.S., the EPA still allows various levels of pesticides to be used in chocolates like Methyl Bromide, Pyrethrins, Hydrogen Cyanide, Naled and Glyphosate, which have been shown in animal studies to produce health ailments like thyroid problems, headaches and nausea.

Save pesticides for the head bugs and opt for organic chocolate companies, many of which also offer fair trade and vegan varieties.

Here’s a list to get you started.

Gwyneth Paltrow has a couple of tykes of her own, so she knows firsthand the joy of reading children’s books, both classic and modern.

In a recent edition of her online newsletter, Goop.com, Paltrow has included several of her favorite children’s books and for parents who wish to combine bed time stories with education, Hubert the Pudge: A Vegetarian Tale by Henrik Drescher, is one she recommends picking up during your next trip to the library or bookstore.

Hubert is a pig-elephant hybrid with horns (could this be a result of some terrible big farm GMO project?) who narrowly escapes his fate as bacon and ham when he slides through a hole at Farmer Jake’s Processing Plant.

After meeting up with some other animals with freedom, the team devise a plan to rescue the others and persuade the farmer to open a tofu dog factory instead.

“This book is a great way to teach kids about vegetarianism plus the brightly colored ink illustrations make each page fun to get lost in,” writes Gwyneth.

In Gwyneth Paltrow‘s latest edition of her online newsletter Goop, she features celebrity chef Jamie Oliver as he shares his thoughts on eating, health related issues from bad food and the return of cooking and eating with the family.

Thought provoking points are brought in the conversation, such as sourcing better quality ingredients, knowing what’s in your food and how Oliver remains so cute despite all that hard work he does in the kitchen.

GOOP: What is it like being so brilliant and so cute all at the same time?

Jamie Oliver: Ahhh! Bless you Gwyneth. Well I at least try to be brilliant, and I was cute as a baby but I think those qualities are probably very debatable subjects these days!

For a recipe that won’t make you vomit like Paltrow’s sickening sweet comment, try Oliver’s Classic Spaghetti recipe at Goop.

There’s absolutely no jars of sauce involved as you create it fresh from scratch. Using diced tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil and other spices, you can use this recipe to create a meal that’s vegetarian/vegan without processed ingredients.

Plus, it makes an excellent, simple recipe to start with if you’re beginning to teach your kids how to cook something besides Pop Tarts.

To get the recipe, visit Goop. To watch Oliver be cute, tune into ABC on Fridays at 9PM for Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.

Missing was her foodie pal Mario Batali as Gwyneth Paltrow took another trip “On The Road Again,” this time to the southern United States.

Gwyneth visited Nashville, Tennessee for a few months in a quest to eat, drink, enjoy incredible culture and meet friendly people.

In the latest edition of her newsletter Goop, Gwyneth says a restaurant called “The Family Wash” has a vegetarian Shepherd’s pie worth the road or plane trip.

“This bar is as cozy and intimate as could be; it has a worn-in, comfortable feel to it. There is a low stage in the back for all the musicians that come through playing bluegrass, country and rock. The Vegetarian Shepherd’s pie is spectacular, made of layers of perfectly seasoned lentils, mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese.”

Traditional shepherd’s pie usually contains ground beef or lamb.

Although The Family Wash serves items for meat eaters too, it definitely is a place to eat with mixed company, as there are other veggie friendly items on the menu like hummus and salad with quinoa.
