Premiere Screening For "REX"

Mayim Bialik is a green mommy, making her own shampoo, cleaning and granola products for her family.

In a recent interview with the Sierra Club, Mayim discussed how life on the screen has become more environmentally friendly as well.

“Blossom ended when I was 19. Things are a lot different now. Recycling is a standard part of everyone’s vocabulary, which is significant because of the amount of scripts. The beauty products used aren’t tested on animals and are gentler on the environment. Green practices are becoming a much more accepted line of conversation. I don’t wear leather and that’s something easier to address now.”

Opening Of CavaliaMayim Bialik is getting more than her 15 minutes of rediscovered fame with tons of interviews and a brand new makeover.

The former Blossom star has talked about her vegetarian diet before, and spoke with Celebrity Baby Blog again recently about some of the vegetarian and natural things she does in her household.

Mayim describes the fam as a “non-obnoxious” green one, (in contrast to the Goodes?) that share beds, make their own shampoo, granola, and cleaning products.

And while Mayim follows a vegetarian diet, the house isn’t completely veggie-just kosher with vegan options.

“I’m technically a vegan, but I do eat egg if it’s in things. And that’s how we raise Miles, too. I cook meat for my husband, which is Kosher, but we don’t have a vegan house, just Kosher house that has vegan options for everyone.”

Blossom’s Mayim Bialik Reluctant To Classify Faith And Vegan Diet

Opening Of CavaliaMayim Bialik entertained adolescents in the early 90s on the NBC sitcom, Blossom, with wild looking vintage store outfits, frank discussions about issues like puberty, and a recovering drug addict brother named Joey with an obsessive tendency to use his catch phrase, “Whoa,” one time too many.

Mayim is all grown up now, with a PhD in neuroscience (read about her work on Prader-Willi syndrome) and quite active with her Jewish faith and in the Jewish community. 

She recently interviewed with Jewcy.com, where she admitted it’s hard to classify herself, both faithwise and diet.

“I’m hesitant to label myself or call myself Orthodox because people will be like, “Celebrity Mayim Bialik says she does X, but I saw her doing Y” – I guess, to be safe, I would say I’m Conservative, but in reality, I’d say Conservadox. But my husband and I have definitely increased our observance over the years, and we’re always trying to grow.”

“We kinda do the Big Three [Shabbos, keeping kosher, and family purity], but it’s hard. I mean, it’s hard for everyone to classify themselves, but it’s a whole new level of hard when people are watching you. Like, I pretty much eat a vegan diet, but I eat eggs if they’re in things. What I say is, I eat a mostly vegan diet, and that’s kind of how it is with Judaism. We keep Shabbos, we keep kosher, and I don’t know if people want to hear about the Mikveh, but, um, yeah.”
