Gymnast and Olympic silver medalist Jordan Chiles is at the 2024 Paris games with Team USA. She practiced eight times a week leading up to the Olympic events, and to keep herself fueled, she partnered with Too Good & Co. smoothies for an easy protein-packed option to take along on the road.
Through this partnership, we were given the opportunity to chat with Chiles about her Olympic training journey, from her morning routine to her nightly rituals. Read all about her favorite foods that keep her energized, the Beyoncé songs that keep her motivated and more below.

EatingWell:What does your typical morning routine look like?
Chiles:We have two practices a day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. So typically in the mornings when we have two practices, I’ll decompress before, whether it’s getting into a cold shower or doing something that wakes me up. I’m not really an eater in the morning, so I can just take a Too Good & Co. smoothie with me on my journey to the gym at 7 o’clock in the morning. Then I practice—literally all I do in the morning is practice—and then I come home and take a nap. I really like to home in on self care because I feel like when you have the right amount of rest, you can perform better.
EatingWell:What are your favorite foods to keep you satisfied or energized in between practices?
Chiles:For me, I think it’s just the simple things, whether it’s fruit or cheese and crackers. I’ll make a bagel—just something that’s kind of light but allows me to still function throughout my second practice. The heartier stuff is what I eat for dinner like steak, salmon or pasta.
EatingWell:Why partner with Too Good & Co.?
Chiles:The reason why I wanted to partner with Too Good & Co. smoothies is because they fuel your body, and you can have one with you at all times. There’s different flavors—peach and strawberry-banana are my favorite. Knowing that there are 3 grams of sugar and 10 grams of protein [in each smoothie], you are feeling good, no pun intended. You’re putting the right amount of nutrition into your body, and especially for me, I’m always on the go hustling 24/7 in and out the gym. I felt like this was something that I could put out into the world to understand that nutrition is something that people should really take into consideration.

EatingWell:Any favorite snacks you always have on hand?

EatingWell:What’s your favorite cereal?
