In the Kitchen With a Model: Valentina Zelyaeva on Kale, Raw Food, and Nut Milk Bags

We at The Cut are the first people to discourage juice fasts, no matter how many times we're told to try them. So when I was assigned to make vegan smoothies with Russian model and raw food enthusiast Valentina Zelyaeva, I was skeptical and more than a bit worried. What if her special diet was an excuse to eat less, as is often the case? Also, what if her concoctions tasted disgusting, as many green juices do? I was told to come hungry, but I was suspicious and ate a large breakfast instead.
