60-Year-Old Cindy Crawford Opens Up About Her Daily Morning Routine

Cindy Crawford is set to celebrate her 60th birthday on February 20, and the iconic American supermodel continues to prove that lasting vitality isn’t just about genetics. Over the years, she has built her lifestyle around regular exercise, quality rest, balanced nutrition, and sustainable habits.

The mother of Kaia Gerber starts most mornings with a workout followed by a homemade, nutrient-packed smoothie. Crawford recently shared insights into her routine during an interview with Lauryn and Michael Bosstick on their podcast, The Skinny Confidential.

During the conversation, she explained that when she’s at home, she typically practices intermittent fasting. Rather than eating immediately after waking, she usually waits until around 10 a.m., often exercising beforehand.

To break her fast, she prepares a smoothie with coconut milk, collagen, protein powder, cocoa, flaxseeds, and hemp seeds. She also includes spinach, mint, and a sprinkle of maca, but she only uses half a banana because she was advised that a whole one might add too much sugar. This intentional approach to nutrition is a cornerstone of her daily wellness strategy.

As for the rest of her diet, Crawford says she eats a wide variety of foods but limits gluten because it doesn’t sit well with her. While she loves pasta, especially when traveling in Europe, she finds it affects her differently at home. She doesn’t eat much bread and typically opts for a protein-rich salad at lunch, while dinner usually consists of protein paired with vegetables.

Dietitian-nutritionist Antonio Andújar noted that Crawford’s approach appears more focused on fat loss than muscle gain. He observed that intermittent fasting and training before breakfast point in that direction, though he cautioned that fasted workouts may not be ideal for everyone.

Exercising with low glycogen stores can sometimes reduce performance or lead to muscle loss if the intensity is high. However, Crawford is known to practice reformer Pilates, which experts say could make fasted training less problematic in her case.

Another nutritionist, Rosa Rullán, described Crawford’s diet as relatively low in carbohydrates and warned of potential downsides like hormonal imbalances. While Rullán generally does not advise fasted training for women, she did praise Crawford’s consistent inclusion of vegetables and high-quality protein.

Beyond her health routine, Crawford has remained incredibly active in the fashion industry as she approaches this milestone decade. earlier this year, she made a high-profile appearance at the 2nd Annual WWD Style Awards in Santa Monica, where she was honored for her lasting impact on the industry.

She also recently starred in a ’90s-inspired campaign for Good American, proving her “American Icon” status is as relevant as ever. On the screen, Crawford recently revisited her legendary career in the Apple TV+ docuseries The Super Models, alongside peers like Naomi Campbell and Christy Turlington.

She is also rumored to be developing a new lifestyle project that focuses on aging gracefully, building on the success of her skincare empire, Meaningful Beauty. Whether she is dominating a new campaign or sharing her wellness secrets, she continues to demonstrate that disciplined habits remain central to maintaining strength at any age.
