Since I posted about Reese Witherspoon and her beloved Crock Pot the other day I’ve been trying to find some Reese Witherspoon diet info for you. I mean, she always looks great - she seems fit and healthy, but you don’t hear about her being on any crazy diet or working out constantly.

So I got a few tidbits on Reese.

Reese’s diet:

• Reese eats 5 small meals per day.
• She eats a high-fiber muffin at breakfast, chicken salad for lunch and salmon and vegetables for dinner.

 Reese’s workout:

She runs three miles every day and she does yoga.

Here’s a recipe from Reese Witherspoon via the Ellen show website and thegailspot.com.
