The 24-year-old’s toned stomach was visible as she wore a cropped top to pick up her meal at Lotus Vegan in North Hollywood, California.

She teamed her revealing green top with a pair of bell-bottom jeans which scraped the ground and a thick brown belt.

Vanessa clutched on to the white plastic bag containing her purchase with her claw-like talons and balanced a hot beverage in the same hand.

Her secret to staying slim and healthy is eating breakfast every day.

'I like egg white omelettes with veggies, or oatmeal with almonds and fruit,' Vanessa told Shape magazine.

For lunch and dinner, she usually has a spinach salad with grilled chicken or salmon, almonds, feta cheese, a little truffle oil, and a sprinkle of pink Himalayan sea salt.

'It's my favourite meal,' the actress added. 'When you're putting good stuff into your body, you feel so much better.'
