Gwyneth Paltrow teams up with her health and fitness guru Tracy Anderson for a new healthy eating venture, but don’t be alarmed, 3 Green Hearts is not Goop 2.0.
Together with Maria Baum, the new Tracy Anderson CEO, who will be spearheading an expansion of the fitness guru’s fitness studios and complimentary merchandise, Gwyneth Paltrow has embarked on a new healthy eating venture. Since the Oscar-winning actress reinvented herself as a healthy lifestyle guru, launching Goop, spreading the word and indoctrinating the world on her mantras, Gwyneth Paltrow has attacked the American way of eating on many different levels.

We all love to have our lives made easier, and Tracy and Gwyneth are helping Americans (and possibly Londoners in the future) to eat healthily without the fuss. In comes 3 Green Hearts, the new take away health food brand and brainchild of the dynamic blonde duo composed by the fitness guru and the lifestyle guru.
3 Greens will initially be sold in Tracy Anderson’s Hampton’s studios over the summer, but we hope that it will retail further afield. And what does it consist of?
Lets start from the basics: In an interview with the Hamptons Magazine, Tracy Anderson said that the line was inspired by her work with Paltrow.
“Along the journey, we’ve always understood how important [food is] to our bodies; it’s a complete marriage with the fitness,” she said. “As people become more aware of organic foods, the importance of eating things that are whole and nutritious [becomes clear].”
The grub on offer does seem pretty scrumptious (just like Gwyneth’s healthy recipes), and includes “made-that-day juices and smoothies, gluten-free pastas with herbs and roasted tomatoes, quinoa salads, grilled salmon, fish tacos and kale ravioli and frosting shots” (for the days you need an extra bit of TLC).
As well as giving people access to easy peasy healthy meals, and talking about the mantra of “inflammation”, the blondes attribute the desire to launch the venture to their nurturing instincts:
“We are moms. We are nurturers. We understand the demands of dreaming big. And we want nothing more than for you to have access to the healthy, happy lifestyle you so deserve.”
So, if you cannot have access to these lovely meals from 3 Green Hearts, Swide has collated some healthy living advice dished out by Tracy Anderson throughout the years.
- Train for one hour a day, six days a week. “Do 30 minutes of cardio training (dancing, jogging, aerobics) and 30 minutes of muscular structure (weights and stretches),” says Anderson. “Do it six days a week for the rest of your life.”
- Think high reps, low weights. Beware of the gym: the weights are too heavy. “For me, fitness is all about high repetitions and low resistance. I mean 60 reps with 10 different exercises using weights of three pounds or below.”
- Unless you need to lose weight, eat what you want, but sensibly. “I like for people to be not in their heads about eating [ie they should not get stressed about it]. Food restriction can become a real mental game and I’m not a fan.” If you do need to lose weight, be strict with yourself, however. “I’m not a fan of dairy for women and I don’t like processed foods. Every day I drink a juice with parsley, kale, ginger and apple. I eat lean proteins like fish and chicken as well as quinoa and brown rice.
- In Anderson’s “Method”, the routines change every 10 days, and are customised to different body types and shapes. “The brain maps movement, so once it feels that it’s conquered something, your body will go on autopilot, which is why there needs to be enough of a change to your routine and movements to keep genetic weaknesses and imbalances awake, alert and engaged.”
- A good playlist can be the key to a good workout. Working out to music is something that people need to do. On her workout playlist Tracy Anderson has: “Live Forever” by Travis Barker, “Courtesy” by PRhyme, “Divine Sorrow” by Wyclef Jean, “Got Love” by Tove Lo, “Dangerous” by David Guetta, “I Own It” by Nacey, “Style” by Taylor Swift, “0 to 100” by Drake, “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson, “Booty (Remix)” by J. Lo, and Bleachers’ album.
