Brooke Burke EXCLUSIVE: The star, 51, is a healthy snack ice cream

Brunette bombshell Brooke Burke has one of the best figures in the business.

And the 51-year-old former Dancing With Stars co-host has exclusively shared with DailyMail.com what one of her tricks is when promoting Longevity By Brooke Burke Body, which sells plant-based superfoods.

It turns out the beauty never lets herself get “hungry” as she relies on small but healthy snacks to keep her from indulging in bad choices. And she also keeps all her eating within a certain time window because she is an intermittent faster.

When she gets the munchies, she gives in.

“I’m not a big snacker but time spent in the car to and from school and sports is a very easy time to want to eat something,” said the mother of four.

“I try to keep it healthy by preparing a conscious snack bag that I carry for myself and my kids. There’s nothing worse than being “hangry” and that’s when we start making bad choices.’

But she just chats in her window.

“I intermittent fast so as long as I stick to my eating and resting window I don’t think it matters.

“What I love about intermittent fasting is that it gives you a little more wiggle room and grace in your eating window, so I don’t feel guilty if I’m hungry and I need a little afternoon pick-me-up.

“So I guess the answer is no, I don’t really believe in the theory that you have to stop snacking at a certain time of day.”

And she is careful about what food she picks up.

‘I am a diligent label reader. I think we must be. There is so much crap out there, especially with packaged food, the Playboy cover girl said.

“I myself have been in the lab, created this product and seen the development. I am really proud of the high integrity of the ingredients found in this brand. It tastes amazing and it has nothing in the mix that we don’t need.

Burke is also known for working out consistently.

She often does quick workouts at home and has popularized 10-minute workouts.

Lately she’s been doing a plank challenge at Brooke Burke Body.

“The workout is really hard but it has so many benefits. It revs up your metabolism. It cuts your core,” Maxim said.

“It develops upper body strength. It’s really, really challenging, so it’s a great sense of accomplishment.

“I’m also very into mantra movements which are positive dialogue woven into rhythm and body movement. I have to work up a sweat in my workouts. So for me it’s a full body burn, head to toe and body sculpting.

“I can’t say it’s one thing, but planks, if you do two minutes of planks every day, it will change your body.”

Now that the holidays are approaching, Brooke is cautious.

She enjoys seasonal food.

“I’m a big gardener so it makes me really happy to choose from my garden to bring that love and organic vibe into my kitchen for my family,” Brooke said.

‘I love autumn root vegetables. Beetroot. Butternut squash soup. I love pumpkin! I love the smell of pumpkin and spice. I love cinnamon and nutmeg in my fall smoothies.

“Frozen pears instead of bananas are a really yummy option. I like warm comfort food, too. Summer is crispier food and rainbow colors. And the holidays are a little more root vegetables and baked dinners.

Usually people crave carbs in the fall, but she has a way around it.

“I think when people crave carbs, something happens in the body that they either need or don’t give it. One thing I love about shaking up the smoothie scene with Longevity is that it’s really satisfying when you give your body what it’s craving .

“But if you’re going to eat more carbs, increase your cardio.

“If you’re trying to lose a few pounds, sweat more often. But if you’re really craving carbs, give yourself a cheat day to enjoy something like a pizza and then get back to your plan.”

Brooke also said that it is other women who inspire her.

“The women that I travel with in fitness really motivate me. We push each other. We stand up for each other. We hold each other accountable. We also laugh together, sweat together and encourage each other. We yell at each other in class and cheer each other on. I think that training is much more fun when you do it with someone who inspires you.’

Now the star Longevity backs down. ‘My favorite flavor is cocoa. I put two scoops, sometimes three a day in my shakes.

“We have so many great recipes coming up; fall smoothies, quick afternoon snacks, winter shakes that are flavorful and sweet that also make a great dessert substitute.

And I get everything I need with two scoops of Longevity. I used to put five different supplements in my shake and thanks to Longevity I don’t anymore. This product really energizes my body.’
