Rich Roll’s Daily Routine: Enjoying Plant-Based Living

Rich Roll didn’t find his life’s purpose until his 40s. Just before turning 40, he felt heart pain while climbing the stairs. Knowing heart disease ran in his family, he realized he needed to make big lifestyle changes immediately. These changes would not only improve his health but also transform his entire life. The following is Rich Roll’s daily routine. Learn more about Rich Roll’s life and wellness journey by getting his book “Finding Ultra”.

Intermittent Fasting

Rich Roll’s daily routine involves picking out select days every week which he dedicates to intermittent fasting days. He tends to alter his routine significantly on these days as opposed to typical days. He starts with a cup of coffee in the morning, drinks plenty of water, and heads out to train. Roll, being a morning person, prefers to exercise right away, as it becomes much harder to fit it in later in the day.

Rich Roll’s Morning Schedule

Rich Roll’s doesn’t like scheduling any work before noon. He, therefore, uses the morning to take certain activities out of the way before starting the daily grind.

Breakfast

• Starts with a cup of coffee
• Drinks plenty of water

Exercise

Rich tends to pick out one of three exercise activities to stay fit and healthy daily. This includes swimming, trail running or biking.  

Writing & journaling

Rich Roll dedicates time every morning to journal and write consistently. Journaling provides numerous benefits, such as improving mood, reducing stress, and increasing optimism.

Post-Workout Smoothie

Rich Roll loves a post-workout green smoothie on non-fasting days.

• This smoothie is made with a base of dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, or a combination of both.
• He then adds a mix of berries, including blackberries, blueberries, and raspberries, along with hemp seeds, chia seeds, water, coconut water, beets, beet greens and a scoop of protein powder.

12:00: Work Schedule
