Alicia Silverstone Shares the 1 Wellness Practice She Can’t Go a Day Without

It goes without saying that Cher Horowitz, the fictional protagonist in the iconic ‘90s hit Clueless, loves a good fashion trend. Between her yellow-plaid suit set and her cherry red mini-dress (“an Alaia!”), it's clear that Alicia Silverstone’s character was a total style trailblazer. But what about wellness? Would Cher be equally keen on trailblazing in the health and wellness spheres as well? In the latest episode of The Avocado Show, Well+Good’s YouTube series where celebs sit down to chat over avocado dishes, Silverstone shares her take on Cher being vegan.

“I think if you get Cher before she starts listening to Josh, she would be vegan because it’s trendy and very hip and very cool. But I think that she would also be vegan post-Josh for the right reasons which—not that those are bad reasons—but for the reason that it’s better for the planet, better for all the people who can’t eat because they’re not distributing food properly,” she says.

“Definitely my plant-based diet—it changed my life. My motto is ‘greens, grains, beans,’ and I’m good." —Alicia Silverstone

While we can really only speculate about how Cher would and wouldn't interact with what's going on in wellness world of today, Silverstone personally swears by a number of healthy habits in her daily life. But, she was able to pinpoint the single wellness practice she can’t go a day without.
