Looking to add a new recipe to your lineup next week? Try a meal made for millionaires.
Brooke Baevski, known on social media as “Chef Bae,” is a private celebrity chef in Beverly Hills whose duties range from preparing meals for professional athletes to home cooking for A-list celebrities and royalty.
Having wealthy customers is an advantage for Baevsky. There are usually no limits to what she can buy and how much she can spend on grocery shopping.
“Of course, these types of customers prioritize quality ingredients, recipes with integrity, farm-to-table, the freshest, highest quality ingredients possible,” she says.
Baevsky often works with nutritionists and trainers to help clients meet their dietary needs and stay in shape.
This allowed her to learn how to cook delicious food while prioritizing her health.
“My clients love knowing exactly what’s in their food, sometimes even all the macros and calories that go into their bodies,” Baevski says.
Here are some of the healthy meals her billionaire clients eat throughout the week.
A nutritious breakfast for a healthy start
Baevsky’s clients like to start their day with a drink like lemon water or cold-pressed juice before breakfast.
But a “superfood” smoothie is what you want first thing in the morning to get the nutrients you need for the day, says Baevsky.
Smoothies typically contain “protein, fiber, vitamins, nutrients, supplements of all of them (calcium, magnesium, zinc, biotin), extracts and hair supplements,” she says.
Sometimes I make a probiotic green juice made with fresh vegetables like kale, romaine lettuce, celery, and cucumber.
As for food, Baevski usually makes one of the following dishes for breakfast.
- “Truffle” scrambled eggs: eggs with shaved truffle mushrooms
- Japanese style roll omelet with germinated buckwheat toast and avocado served with micro greens and basil flavored olive oil
- Vegan Parfait: Coconut yogurt with grain-free granola containing goji berries, bee pollen and shaved coconut. She usually tops this with organic fruit and honey or agave.
- “Superfood” pancakes or waffles with chia seeds, flaxseeds, macadamia nut flour, and quinoa flour
Plan a healthy lunch to refuel your afternoon
“Many of my clients like to eat heavy carbs in the early afternoon, so they eat rice, quinoa, and couscous,” Baevski says.
Lunch usually looks like this:
- “Zoodle” noodle soup: beef or chicken bone broth with zucchini noodles and vegetables
- Mediterranean salad with grilled zucchini, peppers and eggplant. She tops these with Turmeric Sauce, Lime Her Pepita Dressing, and Herbed Vegan Her Ranch Her Dressing.
- Organic, lean fish such as wild cod, wild sole and fresh salmon
- Healthy vegetable, nut and seed side dish
- Wild rice dish with antioxidant herbs and dried cherries
Dinner ends the day with a nutritious meal
At dinner, Baevsky often creates spreads like this:
- organic red fish
- Low-calorie vegetable noodles with yakitori and kelp noodles
- Stir-fried cauliflower rice
- Steamed organic vegetables with oil-free garlic sauce
- hummus or mezedip
- baba ganoush
- Vegan tzatziki sauce with coconut milk, cucumber, lemon, dill and parsley
Baevski found that by using lemons, fresh herbs, harissa sauce, chili, and citrus fruits, he could achieve great flavor in these dishes without adding fat or sugar.
She also cuts down on refined and highly processed oils by subbing vegetable and canola oils with avocado and sesame oils.
