Amanda Seyfried’s Favorite Drinks to Start the Day

Amanda Seyfried shared her morning routine in a Vogue Beauty Secrets video on YouTube, and we’re loving her chill, simple approach to starting the day. Seyfried shared a little about her skincare routine and minimal makeup details, but our interest was mostly piqued by her go-to pair of morning beverages: celery juice and black coffee. 

While one is a wellness world favorite and the other a more universally beloved staple, together they create a balanced mix of hydration and energy. And while neither beverage is strictly necessary to start your day on the right foot, this simple and hydrating morning ritual is a classic way to begin the day.

Celery juice has been the subject of much debate in the health world, with some claiming it has detoxifying and healing properties. This juice is definitely not a miracle elixir, but there are still benefits to sipping on it. Celery is naturally hydrating and full of antioxidants, and juicing it concentrates its nutrients, making it a good source of electrolytes. 

Those electrolytes can be especially helpful after a workout or any physically demanding activity. Additionally, research suggests that celery may have anti-inflammatory properties and could contribute to lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Seyfried seems to appreciate the potential benefits, even if she’s not 100% sure about what exactly they are. “The celery juice must be doing something, right?,” she says to the camera. While it may not be a cure-all, celery juice is still a great way to start the morning, especially for those who enjoy the taste and want a hydration boost.

Then there’s coffee, the undisputed champion of morning drinks. Beyond its ability to wake you up, coffee has been linked to a variety of potential health benefits. Regular consumption has been associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease, improved thyroid function and a reduced chance of cardiovascular disease. The caffeine in coffee can also boost mood and increase alertness, which explains why so many people rely on it to start their day. 

Seyfried is no exception, admitting, “I can’t wake up and not have coffee.” She’s also cut out dairy, opting for black coffee—specifically from Casa Tua. While coffee does come with some potential downsides, including increased anxiety, disrupted sleep and potential dependency, for most people, moderate consumption is not only safe but may even be beneficial. And if you drink it black, there’s no need to be concerned about the excess added sweetener in a fancier coffee drink.

Seyfried’s approach to her morning beverages is a reminder that wellness is about finding what works for you. Whether you swear by green juice, can’t function without caffeine or enjoy a mix of both, the best routines are the ones that make you feel good and add a little joy to your morning.
