We all have our own ways of starting our mornings. While some prefer to start their day with hot beverages like milk, coffee or tea, one of the healthiest ways is to start with fibre or fruit. Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, who is known for his culinary skills, is also a patron of healthy living. The chef recently took to Instagram to reveal that he and his wife Alyona Kapoor start their day on a healthy note – with an apple.

“Alyona Kapoor and I always start our mornings with an apple before we have anything else like chai (tea) or coffee,” he said.
