For one week the actress known for her luxe lifestyle choices will be living on food stamps and budget of $29 for one week.
Gwyneth who has a net worth of $140 million, always seems to be doing interesting cleanses, detoxes and diets but this new challenge, which she is doing for charity, is surprisingly relatable.
The Oscar-winner is doing the #FoodBankNYCChallenge. She must subsist on a SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) budget of just $29 a week.
The 42-year-old was challenged in a Twitter video post by her long-time friend, Mario Batali who is a board member of the Food Bank of New York City. The actress will raise awareness for the cause.
Gwyneth shares what she’ll be eating for the week.
No word on whether Gwyneth’s kids, Moses and Apple will embark on the challenge with their mum, who has managed to still create a healthy meal plan.
Offering a peek into her challenge week on Twitter, she shared a photo of what she was able to buy with the $29 allotted for all meals for the week.
The health conscious mum-of-two purchases a carton of eggs, seven limes, a package of tortillas, frozen peas, one ear of corn, one avocado, and one tomato.
“This is what $29 gets you at the grocery store – what families on SNAP (i.e. food stamps) have to live on for a week,” the Oscar winner wrote.
She went on to extend the life of the challenge, nominating Los Angeles chef Roy Choi.
We can’t wait to see what Gwyneth whips up for the week!
