Miranda Kerr has lifted the lid on her unique health regime, revealing the strict diet she follows every day to maintain her supermodel glow.
The Australian star, 43, shared details of her wellness habits during an appearance on Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari, where she also spoke candidly about raising her teenage son Flynn Bloom and the challenges of managing his screen time.
Miranda, who shares 15-year-old Flynn with actor Orlando Bloom, and sons Hart, eight, Myles, six, and Pierre, two, with Evan Spiegel, said her mornings begin with a drink she has consumed since she was a teenager.
‘I’ve been drinking noni juice since I was 13. I’m 43 – [that’s] 30 years!’ she said.
‘Noni juice is a superfood, superfruit. It originates from Tahiti, but it can grow in other parts of the world like Australia too.’
Miranda said she takes a 30ml shot every morning because it is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals – and even gives some to her youngest child.

The former Victoria’s Secret model then follows it with homemade tea made from marshmallow leaf, as it is ‘good for the gut lining’.
Her early morning ritual also includes coconut yoghurt with a dollop of locally-sourced honey as well as a ‘bite of a banana’.
Only after completing her wellness routine does Miranda allow herself her morning coffee.
Miranda said she avoids traditional cow’s milk and instead uses coconut milk in her coffee.
As for her chosen brand of brew, Miranda said she only drinks Fabula coffee as it is ‘mould-free and lead-free’.
‘I had it tested personally to make sure because I don’t always believe the labels,’ she revealed.
She also adds maple syrup rather than conventional sweeteners.
When it comes to breakfast, Miranda said eggs are off the menu. Instead she gets her protein from high-quality meats like venison, bison, lamb and turkey.

Miranda said she avoids dairy, wheat and eggs, and is particularly careful about the oils she uses
‘I eat all the meats that aren’t mass-produced,’ she said.
While Miranda admitted she is ‘not much of a fruit girl’, she does enjoy bananas as an easy snack.
‘A banana is a great snack to go when you have to be on the run. It’s got good potassium and it’s something quick.’
Miranda said she avoids dairy, wheat and eggs, and is particularly careful about the oils she uses.
‘I’m very specific about the oils. So only cooking with coconut oil or avocado oil. No seed oils. Olive oil is okay on salads, but not to cook with,’ she noted.
Instead of bread or rice, Miranda said she prefers vegetables as her main source of carbohydrates, explaining: ‘I really eat a lot of squash, carrots and parsnips.’
The model also revealed she limits her seafood intake, saying she is cautious about mercury levels in fish.
‘I do have a little bit of salmon, but not too much because of the mercury that’s in salmon.’

However, sushi is completely off the menu due to the risk of ‘parasites’.
‘I used to live on sushi when I lived in New York until I learned [about parasites],’ she said.
Despite avoiding sushi, however, Miranda said she still enjoys caviar.
‘I do love caviar. Caviar is good, there’s no parasites there. It’s good for you. Good fat,’ she said.
Although she maintains a strict diet, Miranda said she does still enjoy sweet treats – but with her own twist.
She revealed she makes carob treats and hot drinks with her younger children during ‘tea parties’.
‘My little six-year-old and actually the baby, we have tea parties. So we’ll do a lemon balm tea and then I’ll get this carob. The carob I also tested that is lead-free.’
Miranda added that she still enjoys chocolate flavours and makes her own version of hot chocolate with carob, coconut milk and maple syrup.

Elsewhere in the chat, Miranda also opened up about parenting her teenage son Flynn and her approach to technology. She revealed Flynn is her only child with a phone, and that she and husband Evan Spiegel (left) have strict rules around device use

She revealed Flynn is her only child with a phone, and that she and husband Evan have strict rules around device use.
Miranda said they either remove his devices overnight or use parental controls, depending on ‘how his attitude has been’ and ‘how he is doing at school’.
‘Lately he’s actually been handing [his phone] in at like 9:30pm, which I think is the most beneficial,’ she said.
‘There was a point where there was pushback and I was like, ‘Well, they’re all going to be turned off, so there’s nothing that you can do. It doesn’t matter anyway.”
Miranda explained that Flynn eventually accepted the boundaries.
‘So we’ve been through that and now we’re back to having them outside the room. We’ll see how long that lasts.’

Miranda said she has tried to approach parenting a teenager with understanding.
‘I told him, ‘This is my first time being a parent to a teenager. I’m trying to figure this out with you and try and help you so that you become the best version of yourself and you’re not consumed by a device.”
She admitted technology is difficult to avoid because Flynn needs his phone for school, adding: ‘I kind of wish in a way that they didn’t, but I guess this is the world we’re living in.’
Miranda also revealed Flynn uses Snapchat – the social media platform created by his stepfather – to communicate with his friends.
‘That’s the only way him and his friends communicate,’ she said.
‘I’ll send a text and he doesn’t respond. I’ll send a snap and he’ll respond straight. I’m like, ‘Okay, buddy,” she laughed.
