Jennifer Aniston has finally revealed the recipe for her favorite salad – while also opening up about the health and fitness routine she relies on to stay in such enviable shape at age 54.
Almost a year to the day after the former ‘Friends’ star revealed that the viral recipe for a salad she allegedly made every day on the set of the show was fake, she has now revealed the actual ingredients that mix them into their “really hearty salad” gives’.
Speaking to the Today show about her collaboration with fitness company Pvolve, she described her favorite salad order, which starts with butter lettuce as the base.
“I’m not a Roma fan,” Aniston explained. “I love mushrooms. i love sprouts I love a little tomato. Avocado, Kalamata olives, always some cheese – I will never give up my cheese. I will.’ Make slices of parmesan, pecorino…feta…or all of them!’
Jennifer Aniston, 54, revealed the ingredients of her “really hearty salad” in an interview with the Today show this week. Aniston ate the same salad every day for 10 years while filming Friends. The alleged recipe went viral on TikTok last year, but she debunked the rumors and said it wasn’t what she ate
The actress tops off her salad with flaked almonds or sunflower seeds for the crunch and either a chopped or poached egg for the egg white.
As far as dressing goes, it depends on the day. She usually opts for oil and vinegar or a vinaigrette, but if it’s the weekend, she might drink ranch instead.

Aniston’s love of salads was first documented in 2010 in her former Friends colleague Courteney Cox’s interview with the Los Angeles Times.
Cox explained that they ate the same Cobb salad that Aniston “made” for them every day for ten years while they were on the hit NBC show.
When the interview surfaced again last summer, the mystery surrounding the salad’s ingredients took the internet by storm.
Aniston’s salad went viral on TikTok after a food blogger named Hannah claimed to have the recipe for the version she ate on the set of Friends. However, the actress later debunked the rumours.
“That’s not true, not my salad.” I don’t know where that came from. “It looks good, but it’s not mine,” she told Capital FM host Sian Welby earlier this year.
“The one I ate on the set of Friends was like iceberg lettuce, it was a Cobb salad.” I’m trying to remember [what was in it]Pecorino, turkey bacon, chicken and chickpeas.’
Not too dissimilar, Hannah features red onions, cucumber, pistachios, fresh parsley, fresh mint, and a can of chickpeas.
Aniston explained in her recent interview with Today that she was conscious of her health from a young age.
She focuses on healthy eating, drinking water, prioritizing sleep, meditating, and exercising to make sure she’s doing well.
Aniston’s current salad consists of a butter lettuce base, mushrooms, sprouts, cheese and either a chopped or poached egg on top. Aniston has teamed up with fitness company Pvolve after discovering and becoming a believer in the workout method in 2021
Aniston admitted she used to do “exhausting and painful” workouts because she believed she had to do it to see results.
However, she gave up her “no pain, no gain” attitude in 2021 when a friend introduced her to Pvolve, a training program that combines functional movement with resistance-based equipment.
Two years later, she acts as a consultant for the company’s online platform.
The training units last between five and more than 60 minutes. However, she recommends starting slowly if you’re struggling to find the motivation.
“Just do 10 to 20 minutes, you can do anything for 10 to 20 minutes,” she explained. “You start enjoying it, that’s the other thing.”
“I’m really pushing myself, doing at least a little bit.” I’m going to feel incredible right away. You start feeling those endorphins and energy right away.”
