I'm an aspiring vegan: Ellie Goulding

Singer Ellie Goulding has adopted a near-vegan diet and a killer fitness routine in a bid to keep colds and poor health at bay.

Goulding, 28, who performed at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in New York as a last-minute replacement for Rihanna, said she takes great care about what she puts into her body, reported People magazine.

"I call myself an aspiring vegan. It's challenging, but not impossible. You just have to eat or drink a lot of greens.

"I make green juice for myself almost every day. I put in things like bananas, avocado, spinach, broccoli - whatever's in my fridge, really. Sweet potato fries and salad are my absolute favourites. They make the perfect meal. I eat a lot of quinoa and nuts, too, but I also love eating chips.
