Laura Vandervoort has been captivating audiences for years, from her breakout role on Instant Star to her time as Supergirl on Smallville. But beyond the screen, the actress is focused on staying strong and healthy. Recently, Vandervoort gave fans a taste of warmer days, sharing stunning beachside photos on Instagram. “Okay winter, I’ve had enough of you 🥶. I would now like to be here again please. Thank you. ☀️” she wrote. While she might be dreaming of sunnier escapes, her dedication to fitness and wellness never takes a break. From protein-packed smoothies to strength training, here’s how Vandervoort keeps herself feeling and looking her best.
Vandervoort shared some of her favorite healthy foods with SELF. In it, she revealed her favorite smoothie recipe. “I find it hard to always stay on track and get my vegetables and protein in,” says Vandervoort. “I decided to freeze several zip bags full of kale, half a banana and blueberries for a smoothie each morning. This makes it easier for me to simply throw the ingredients in the blender with my protein powder.”
Vandervoort loves eating Greek yogurt. She tells SELF, “I also am a huge fan of Greek yogurt–it’s another great way to get your protein. It fills me up and gives me long-lasting fuel until lunch. Add a cup of coffee and almond milk and I’m ready to go!”
Vandervoort revealed in the caption of this Instagram post that she loves drinking kombucha to help with her digestion. “I have always had digestion issues. Lately I have been on a health journey from eating more protein, lifting heavier weights, self love, proper sleep, therapy and focus. But, my digestion issues were still prominent. With new proteins and more nutrition dense foods going into my body, I needed an assist! I started drinking @tonicakombucha (to be honest) because I saw it at my grocery store. 🤣 I had tried other brands that I just didn’t love the taste of. After I tried @tonicakombucha I became obsessed not only with the taste and multiple flavor options but with the noticeable difference (I swear to you) in my digestion and gut health overall.”
Vandervoort likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing exercises like lunges with a barbell and hip thrusts with a barbell. Vandervoort captioned it, “Back at it. Not feeling strong today after a week of vacation but showing up was the most important thing. Lower weights than normal which annoys me but listening to my body. This is the year I turn the big 40 😳 and I want to come at it strong.”
Vandervoort revealed in the caption of the previous Instagram post that she is working on not being hard on herself. “I am the hardest on myself. Frustrated today I had no balance, was distracted and couldn’t push like I normally do. But I’m learning not everyday will be my best and that’s okay. Back to reality before the work week starts up. (I miss the beach 😂) – I chomp on gum the entire workout because for whatever reason it helps.”
