Green juice no more: Elizabeth Holmes can expect hot dogs, macaroni, and tacos in prison

• Elizabeth Holmes reported to prison on May 30, 2023, after being convicted of fraud and conspiracy.
• Before her sentence began, Holmes maintained a vegan diet and regularly drank green juices.

A vocal proponent of green juice, disgraced Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes will have to get used to some changes to her usual diet during her 11-year prison sentence.

According to Inc., Holmes started a vegan diet while developing her medical tech startup, Theranos, because she felt that abstaining from animal products allowed her to function on less sleep. An integral element of her daily routine as a vegan was a green juice made of spinach, parsley, wheatgrass, celery, and cucumber, according to Refinery 29.

In "Bad Blood," author John Carreyrou wrote that the juices were prepared by Holmes' personal chef, who would make multiple servings throughout the day at her request.

Green juice was such a staple of Holmes's diet that they made it onto the big screen. In "The Dropout," the Hulu series that chronicles the rise and fall of Theranos, the semi-fictionalized version of Holmes is asked, "If you are what you eat, what are you?"

"Green juice," responds Holmes, depicted by Amanda Seyfried.

The show suggests that her long-term boyfriend turned business partner, Sunny Balwani, encouraged her to make the beverage a part of her routine.

Green juice wasn't the only constant in her diet. In 2014, Fortune reported that Holmes' dinners generally consisted of salad without dressing and oil-free spaghetti with tomatoes.

Now, over a year after being convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy in 2022, Holmes is just one week in to what will ultimately be an 11-year prison sentence at Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas. The founder and former CEO of Theranos will no longer enjoy her at-request juices.

According to the BBC, the food offerings at the facility are typical of a Federal Bureau of Prisons menu, including chicken, hamburgers, hot dogs, tacos, and macaroni. Holmes is allotted one hour per meal at the facility, in accordance with the prison's rules.

Other changes to her daily life will include limited access to technology and daily headcounts, Insider previously reported.
