Bryan Johnson’s 3 superfood recipes: A glimpse into his anti-ageing diet

Mumbai: Bryan Johnson, the millionaire entrepreneur known for his intense focus on anti-ageing, recently made headlines for adding garam masala to his diet. Johnson, who left Nikhil Kamath’s podcast midway due to concerns about India’s pollution, has been widely recognised for “Project Blueprint,” his ambitious longevity initiative.

Despite facing criticism for bringing six days’ worth of his food during his visit to India, Johnson now includes garam masala—an Indian spice blend known for its warm, aromatic flavours—in his butternut squash soup recipe.

In a recent post on X, he shared his upcoming meal plan, featuring the Blueprint Superfood Smoothie, Butternut Squash Soup with Roasted Apples and Carrots, and a Black Bean and Mushroom Bowl with Chickpea Rice.

As part of his strict anti-ageing regimen, Johnson follows a plant-based diet, intermittent fasting, and an intense exercise routine, consuming all his meals within a 6-8 hour window.

Recently, Johnson shared three key recipes from his meal plan that align with his longevity-focused philosophy. These dishes—rich in antioxidants, healthy fats, and essential nutrients—offer a glimpse into his daily routine and the principles behind his anti-ageing strategy.
