Hi Gang!
This week, I finally made the video that everyone’s been asking me to make.
It’s the answer to the number one question I get asked: “What do YOU eat, Kris?”
So here’s a little show and tell, an up close and personal peek at MY eats!
In this video, you’ll see everything I made (and ate) for the day, which of course includes a boatload of green juice. Some of the delicious recipes can be found in Crazy Sexy Kitchen, while others are my go-to, everyday staples. All of the dishes are 100 percent plant-empowered, easy and quick. Hey, I filmed this on a spectacular fall day. You better believe I chose simple meals that would allow me to play in the autumn light and soak in the crimson.
I hope my little food tour inspires you to get creative in the kitchen. Remember, variety is the spice of life and the heart of a healthy diet. Every day brings new opportunities for fun and folly in the kitchen. Tomorrow, I’ll probably start my day with a green smoothie, then if I’m still hungry, I’ll make the hot Coconut and Mango Millet porridge from my cookbook. At lunch, I just might get a hankering for some hearty Crazy Sexy Bean Chili. Thankfully, I made and froze a big batch a few weeks ago. Defrost and a-go-go! And if I find myself in the middle of a snack attack, there are lots of recipes to choose from at KrisCarr.com and in Crazy Sexy Kitchen.
By the way, lately I’ve been obsessed with Brazil nuts (a great source of selenium, which helps boost metabolism and reduce inflammation). I toss a small handful in my smoothies and store them like dog treats (but for people) in my pockets.
Your Turn: If you have a question, leave a comment below. I’ll do my best to answer as many as possible. Or if you’ve got a plant-passionate dish, tip or trick to share, let us know in the comments section! We’d all love to know.
OK, press play.
Peace & cookin’,
Thanks for making me smile! Crazy Sexy Kitchen is beautiful! You should design your own glass mason jars! They would sell like crazy sexy juice jars!
By the way, it was great to meet you this past weekend in Pasadena! Thanks for taking the time
Hi Kris,
Thanks for this video…amazing!! You had me at Downton Abbey reference. I cant’t wait until my book arrives next week, and only until January for the new episodes of Downton Abbey. Now, onto these cooking classes. That tempeh trick is going to jazz up my recipe for the weekend!
Thanks,
Karyn
Hey kris!
Loved this vid and love your stuff, especially your positive beautiful vibe! Makes me smile every time.
Two quick questions if I may:
1. What are your top two recommended masticating/slow juicers at the mo? I’ve been reading up about the omega 8003, Huron vertical slow juicer and Oscar. Would you recommend vertical over horizontal or vice versa? Am about to take the investment plunge so want to make sure I buy something 110% awesome!
2. Can you do another ‘day on the kris Carr plate’ again soon? Would love to see more options of things you actually eat on a normal, regular, fun filled busy day. Your book recipes are amazing, but unfortunately as you no doubt know for us busy working ladies theres only time to do a special recipe a couple of times a week max! Rest of week has to be easy, simple staples. Green juice and green smoothie I’ve got down. But other things you do for day to day brekky, lunch, din & snacks would be super helpful!
Ps I got diagnosed with hyperthyroid graves disease, PCO and amenorea in jan this year – at age 28 eek! No babies for me 🙁 So trying to heal myself from within 🙂 thx for your guidance!

The video wont load past a certain point. Anyone else have this problem?
I “discovered” you at the Pasadena I Can Do It Conference this weekend, and LOVED your presentation. Thank you so much for sharing your life and learnings. I do many of the things you suggest, including Green Drink, but got some new ideas too.
I’ve done a lot of research on gluten since being diagnosed as gluten intolerant 3 years ago. I hope you will do your research and consider going gluten free to improve your health even more. Soy is also an issue since most soy in the US is genetically modified. Just a suggestion. Here’s to continued good health for you Kris. Again, thanks for all you do.
This is so awesome but I am so broke right now. What should I start doing first until I’m not so broke?
Hi! Kris,
I love your peek at my plate video and all your videos!! Everything you make looks so totally appetizing. I’ve been eating healthily for yonks and LOVE the look of your new cookbook! I eat for my blood type and am used to making little, but important substitutions. Can’t wait to try the Dijon mustard dressing recipe and so much more! I’d like to put your site and new cookbook on my blog, kidscookbooks.com.
Love,
Judy
Hi Kris,
I was just wondering how do you feel about cooking with coconut oil?
Hi Kris
Just diagnosed with lung cancer – never a smoker, so seems slightly unfair….
However, with your help, I aim to live with it for a long time to come. One question, before I start on this – Chris Wark talks about not juicing leafy greens, but blending them. You seem to do both??? Is one better than the other do you think? Regardless, keep it up – your practical help is invaluable – a literal life-saver (or so I’m planning …).
ciao

Hi Kris! Thank you so much for the cooking videos and I can’t wait to receive the cookbook. It will be so nice to have the inspiration (and not have to adjust recipes to remove eggs, milk, etc.!) I took the Cornell PBN Program earlier this year and since then I am sold on the whole foods, plant based life. When will the rest of the world catch on to the decades of science-based research that proves why this really is the healthiest way to eat!? 🙂 Cheers to you!
Hi Kris,
I would love to hear your opinion of green juices for those who have hypothyroid.
Thanks!
This is awesome Kris! Can’t wait to experiment! x
p.s. are your Monday blogs not coming via email anymore?
Hi Natalie!
They will be coming. We’re having problems with icontact our email provider. Check your spam and we’re certainly working on it. 🙂 kc
Where did you get your awesome apron? I have been looking everywhere for unusual aprons. I love spending time in the kitchen and cutesy aprons are hard to find. Love your new website, can’t wait to get your new book.
That one was a gift but I find the best aprons on etsy!
Hi I love your Sexy Juice book but have a question. I would like to know if it is ok to add raw beetroot and carrots to my green juice or is it only green juice that is good? Also I did read somewhere that fruit and veges should not be mixed in the same drink, what is you advice? I usually. Have green apple, carrot, beet root, spinach, ginger, celery, cucumber, & lemon and sometimes parsley if I can. Do you think this is a good combo?
Thank so much for you inspirational messages and great book.
Cheers

Love that combo. Yes you can include and since there is no fiber it’s fine to juice fruits and veg. Food combining helps for folks who have poor digestion. Most ppl are fine not food combining. xxx
I just love you! You are beyond inspiring. 😀 Thank you!!! Can’t wait for your book.
What a great video Kris. Thanks a lot for sharing.
I know that you prefer not to eat gluten, so what do you think about seitan?
Me myself do not like soyproducts so I avoid them and then (sometimes) seitan is a good option for me.
I also want to ask you about alcohol. I have an cronic autoimmune liverinflammation since I was 16 I never drink alcohol, but it seem like you are able to drink a glas of wine sometimes. Is that correct? My question is that do you think that coffee is worst than wine? ( I know that you don´t drink coffee 😉 )

I dont have a gluten allergy so I do eat seitan from time to time. As far as wine and coffee go, since both are acidic and not so great for ya it’s best to keep to a minimum. I do have both from time to time but not a regular part of my diet. When I drink wine or coffee I need to drink more water (both dehydrate) and make sure to drink my green juice. Hope that helps. I try to flow as much as possible and not get too rigid. xo kc
What do you do with all the leftovers from your daily juicing?
Compost!
Thanks you!!! I am so glad you finally did this! You should take a snapshot of your breakfast, lunch, and dinner everyday! 🙂
Is there a specific brand of rye that you purchase that’s low in gluten and vegan? I had a difficult time finding gluten free bread that did not contain eggs in it . . . the only brand I’ve managed to come by is Food For Life which has a variety of gluten free and vegan rice breads.
Love Crazy Sexy Diet! Me and my family just completed the cleanse a couple months ago, it was the push we needed to go vegan and mostly gluten free. We love it! Can’t wait for Crazy Sexy Kitcheo Arrive!
