Anna Friel carries a blender with her at all times.

The 'Pushing Daisies' actress is so determined to live a healthy lifestyle she always takes kitchen equipment with her when she travels to ensure she will be able to make smoothies and juices.

She explained: "I have a blender wherever I go, and I whizz lots of things together - raw broccoli, raw carrot, walnuts, berries, coconut oil, flax seed - and have that in the morning. If I hadn't changed my eating and exercise habits, I'm sure I would have aged more quickly."

It's so easy to be healthy there, to go down to the juice bar and say, 'I've got period pains. What should I have?' And they give you maca powder or beetroot or dandelion leaf.

Anna is currently in Britain ahead of her turn as Miss Golightly in the London stage adaptation of 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'.

The 33-year-old actress had previously been living in America with her partner David Thewlis and their four-year-old daughter Gracie.

She told Britain's Harper's Bazaar magazine: "It's so easy to be healthy there, to go down to the juice bar and say, 'I've got period pains. What should I have?' And they give you maca powder or beetroot or dandelion leaf."
