Meghan Markle has long attributed her morning zest to drinking green juice.

The former Suits actress revealed in a recent interview that her day starts around 4 am when she hits the gym. There, her trainer leads her through strength training and yoga sessions.

Yet in her chat with Bloomberg’s Emily Chang on The Circuit, Meghan said she woke up at 6.30 am and cooked a hot breakfast.

She praised green juice as her preferred ‘natural source of energy,’ and biographers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand noted that Meghan never misses the first meal of the day.

In an interview, Meghan stated: ‘I believe that relying on coffee and similar items ultimately ends up being detrimental. So, I prefer to get a great natural energy boost with an excellent green juice.’

‘Something that just gets right into your system is a nice pick-me-up,’ she said. 

Yet, a surprising comment by Meghan in the second part of her Netflix show has led some observers to wonder about the frequency of her juice consumption and who actually makes it.

In the sixth episode of With Love, Meghan, the Duchess, is shown picking ingredients in her garden for a green juice, which she then prepares for chef Clare Smyth, who catered the Sussexes’ wedding.

Meghan admitted that while she loves drinking green juice, she ‘doesn’t like the process of juicing’ because ‘it always felt really messy’

Back in 2015, a few years before she married Prince Harry, Meghan revealed that she would prefer to drink this healthy juice than a cup of coffee while she was filming Suits

Meghan admitted that while she loves drinking green juice, she ‘doesn’t like the process of juicing’ because ‘it always felt really messy’. 

The eight-part series, which launched on Netflix this week, features celebrity guests including Chrissy Teigen, John Legend and television personality Tan France. 

In the kitchen, while chopping cucumbers, lime, orange and celery, Meghan added: ‘But then again, I haven’t done it in 20 years.’

While turning on her Hurom slow juicer, which retails for around £300, she takes a deep breath and then says, ‘Okay, technology has really changed.’

‘Hear how quiet that is? What’s happening?’ she says, laughing.  

She bottles the juice with a label that says ‘Clare’s magical green juice’.

Back in 2015, a few years before she married Prince Harry, Meghan revealed that she would prefer to drink this healthy juice than a cup of coffee while she was filming Suits.

She said: ‘It’s easy to fall into the trap of rushing for a coffee when you hit that 4pm slump.

Meghan lauded green juice as her favourite ‘natural source of energy’ and biographers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand said that Meghan never skips the first meal of the day

‘But if I blend some apple, kale, spinach, lemon, and ginger in my Vitamix in the morning and bring it to work, I always find that sipping on that is a much better boost than a cup of espresso.’

Meghan is not the only celebrity to have hopped on the green juice trend in recent years.

American actress Amber Heard drank green juice in a viral 2021 Instagram video where she held her newborn daughter.

In the video, she appears to be tasting a celery-based green juice and captions the post with ‘You can take the gal out of LA but you can’t take LA out of the girl’. 

Elsewhere in her series, Meghan said she cooks a hot breakfast for her family most days.

‘It’s not as complicated as people think it is,’ she said. 

‘It feels like a big undertaking but you’re just slicing bread, you’re dunking it in some eggs, and calling it a day.’

When questioned on this by her guest, Queer Eye’s Tan France, she elaborates on what she likes to cook.

‘Fried eggs and pancakes, but I like to do surprise pancakes for the kids, so I always put some ground flax seeds and pour some chia seeds in.  

‘The ritual of breakfast is a sacred time as a family. You just take a minute of calm before the day,’ she added.

The Duchess has spoken about not filming in her own home, saying: ‘Our kitchen is where Mama just cooks for the family, and with a crew of 80-plus people, that’s a lot of people to have in your house!

The former Suits actress admitted that on busy days, she feeds her children frozen chicken nuggets and tater tots (mini potatoes to Brits), offering a more relatable glimpse into her approach to meal times.

The first part of With Love, Meghan, pulled in 5.3million views and was in the top five per cent of Netflix shows for the first half of 2025.

Part two has received less-than-glowing reviews, having been dubbed ‘marginally less mad but more needy’ than its predecessor.

The Daily Mail’s Liz Jones branded the new season ‘staged, fake and dull’ – but unlike other critics, she commended Meghan for being ‘genuinely earnest’.

Perhaps we can expect to see a green juice in Meghan’s As Ever line in the future.
