Want Padma Lakshmi's toned body? Here's the recipe for making a 'cleansing juice' at home

London: Model-actress Padma Lakshmi says a glass of cleansing juice is the secret behind her healthy and toned figure. The 42-year-old host of 'Top Chef' has uploaded personal recipes to her official blog, which she called 'a few healthy habits', reported Daily Mail.

"Before each meal, I drink a tall glass of my cleansing juice to jump-start my metabolism. Simply combine 2 ounces of pure, unsweetened cranberry juice, 6 ounces of water, and 1 packet of Emergen-C in the flavor of your choice. While I

don't necessarily believe in pure juice cleanses, this recipe helps me stay on track," she said.

The former wife of author Salman Rushdie said she never skips breakfast and also drinks a lot of green tea.
