Eva Longoria reveals Victoria Beckham’s secret breakfast recipe as she claims best friend is ‘easy’ with food

David Beckham may complain that his wife lives on a diet consisting of grilled fish and steamed vegetables – but Eva Longoria has revealed that she cooks a slap-up breakfast.

The former Desperate Housewives actress, 49, has a decades-long friendship with the fashion designer, 50, who rarely deviates from her strict diet.

But when it comes to breakfast, she has a knack for making a ‘good’ one…egg whites and avocado.

“She’s actually easy because we eat the same breakfast,” Longoria said. ‘We both love egg whites and avocado. When we’re together… she makes a great egg white and avocado.

‘For dinner, she definitely has steamed fish. Steamed fish, steamed vegetables. She is easy. It’s actually the opposite. She’s actually easy, not hard.’

It comes months after Victoria’s husband revealed details of her not-so-appealing diet on the River Cafe Table 4 podcast, saying she has been eating grilled fish and steamed vegetables throughout their marriage.

“I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I eat something good I want everyone to try it,” he said.

‘Unfortunately, I am married to someone who has been eating the same for the last 25 years. Since I met her, she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate from that.

‘The only time she’s probably ever shared anything that’s been on my plate was actually when she was pregnant with Harper, and it was the most amazing thing.

‘It was one of my favorite nights. I don’t remember what it was, but I know she hasn’t eaten it since.’

Victoria has previously admitted that she will not eat food cooked in oil, butter or sauces, and she does not eat red meat or dairy products.

In the same podcast, the designer said: ‘For most restaurants, I’m probably their worst nightmare. I love some steamed vegetables, some balsamic and then seasoning myself.

‘I like things to be prepared in a very simple way. I don’t like oils or butters or sauces. This is where I sound even more boring in the food department.’

Victoria also admitted that her comfort food is a piece of wholemeal toast with salt on it, and on her birthday she celebrates with a fruit cake.

She said: ‘I like wholemeal toast with salt on it. It’s the carb that makes you feel comforted and I love salt.’

The former Spice Girl has previously opened up about her love of egg whites and avocado.

In 2017, she posted a video of herself dressed in a white robe while whipping up the high-protein breakfast for her team on a work trip in Boston.

Best friend Longoria’s diet is far more exciting than Victoria’s, with the philanthropist recently launching her own cookbook, My Mexican Kitchen: 100 Recipes Rich With Tradition, Flavor, and Spice.

Longoria, who describes herself as Texican, said she had 1,000 recipes from her travels around Mexico and decided to consolidate them into a cookbook.

“There are a lot of dishes I added because of my husband,” she said, before revealing that she makes tacos for her family three times a week.

“A family favorite is tacos, and I know it’s typical, but I love a taco night,” she said. “We could have taco night every night of the week… my family loves tacos.”

Longoria, who lives in Spain, said she does not have a private chef and likes to cook for her husband José Bastón and their six-year-old son Santiago, who she said will eat anything.
