Gisele Bundchen’s pregnancy cravings revealed – from steak with chimichurri to a surprise sweet treat

Gisele Bundchen is pregnant with her third child.

And DailyMail.com has exclusively learned what her pregnancy cravings have been like as she nestles in her Florida mansion with her partner Joaquim Valente.

“She’s craving many of the same dishes she ate growing up in Brazil, like grilled ribeye with chimichurri and sautéed vegetables,” a source told DailyMail.com.

‘So Gisele cooks those dishes at home with her children. Many people don’t know this about Gisele, but she is an amazing cook, she does it with ease and her meals are incredible. She uses a lot of fresh vegetables with herbs.’

Turns out she cooked for her exes Tom Brady and Leonardo DiCaprio.

‘Tom and Leo loved it when she brought home fresh ingredients and prepared her Brazilian dishes. It’s a big part of her overall charm that she’s quite homely in many ways. She is always the master in her relationships. Now she cooks for Joaquim.’

Gisele’s own cookbook, Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul, was released this year

And she often eats her favorite breakfast: banana smoothies. For lunch, she likes pesto chicken lettuce wraps.

She is such a great cook that she has her own cookbook.

The literary effort, titled Nourish: Simple Recipes to Empower Your Body and Feed Your Soul, was published in March.

Gisele explained earlier this year: ‘People always ask me what I eat and how I stay fit. Good food is something I’m passionate about, and it’s essential to a healthy lifestyle.’

She added, “In Nourish, I share my family’s favorite simple, nutritious, and delicious recipes and some self-care rituals that help me immensely in my life, especially as a busy working mom.”

Bundchen also said, “There are smoothies, salads, soups and delicious ways to prepare vegetables, meats and of course healthy sweets… there’s something for everyone.”

Bundchen and her ex Tom share son Benjamin and daughter Vivian.

Turns out Joaquim gave her health tips.

‘I used to do cleanses when I was exhausted, but I’ve found a new routine that gives me tons of energy, challenges my gut health, satisfies my sweet tooth and is easier to do: drinking a daily smoothie made with sweet fruit.

“As I learned from the Valente Brothers, different foods require different amounts of time and enzymes to be processed by our bodies,” Bundchen wrote in the cookbook alongside a recipe.

‘Simplifying food combinations can therefore help simplify digestion.

‘So these smoothies only contain three or four ingredients: one ‘solid’ sweet fruit for the bulk, the juice of one ‘liquid’ sweet fruit and sometimes dates for the sweetness. This combination mixes easily without water, keeping the nutritional value compact. I also add almonds or unflavored protein powder to make a complete meal. Because I use frozen fruit, the texture is super thick, kind of like ice cream, which my kids and I love.”

And in July she talked about her ‘favorite healthy snack.’

“Check out my family’s favorite healthy, tasty snack that also helps boost your immune system,” she began her caption before revealing her “secret ingredient” for elderberry jelly.

The beauty added: ‘It’s a super easy recipe made with my secret ingredient – @gaiaherbs Black Elderberry Syrup.’

Dressed in a white linen tunic, the mother of two – who was spotted with her boyfriend Joaquim Valente earlier this week – walked her fans through the process step by step.

The treat is made with three simple components: 2.5 cups tart cherry juice, 4 tbsp Gaia Herbs Black Elderberry Syrup, and 4 tbsp unflavored gelatin.

The former Victoria’s Secret model looked typically beautiful as her wavy, dirty blonde locks fell around her face.

She announced her collaboration with Gaia Herbs in September 2023, when she attended a launch event in New York City at the time.

In a thoughtful caption on social media, she wrote: “The love of plants and nature has been a huge part of our family for generations. My grandmother passed on that knowledge and wisdom to my mother, who introduced me to the benefits of plants as a little girl.’

“In Nourish, I share my family’s favorite simple, nutritious, and delicious recipes and some self-care rituals that help me immensely in my life, especially as a busy working mom,” she said

She added, “Today I’m proud to announce my collaboration with @gaiaherbs. Gaia Herbs is a brand I have used for over twenty years and whose products are known for their purity, potency and high quality.

“This summer I visited their farms and headquarters and experienced the entire process up close.”

The note continued, “I was impressed by the sense of purpose in everyone I met! The dedication and intention they put into it, from seed to harvest and production, was incredible.”

Gisele expressed her excitement about the collaboration, noting, “Somehow I feel like I’m returning to my roots, and I’m so excited to learn more about the awesome power of plants and herbs every day.”
