Eva Amurri recalls ‘almond mom’ Susan Sarandon’s strict diet rules when she was growing up

Susan Sarandon’s daughter Eva Amurri has revealed a surprising detail about how the Oscar-winning actress raised her.

The 39-year-old actress told parenting magazine She Knows that her mom, 78, was hyper-health-conscious during her childhood.

Amurri, whose father is Italian director Franco Amurri, said her mother was so strict that she thought Cheerios were ‘junk food.’

‘My mom was a tried and true almond mom,’ she emphasized, referring to the term used to describe mothers who impose restrictive eating habits onto their children.

‘She actually used to walk down to the Village to the only organic grocery store that existed in New York City in the early ’80s and would get everything there,’ the influencer added.

She emphasized, ‘My mom thought Cheerios [were] a junk food — that is how almond mom she was.’

Susan continues to impose her healthy eating habits on her family, sending her grandchildren ‘disgusting cereal,’ her daughter shared.

‘I had to stop being nice about it,’ the mommy blogger told thee publication.

Amurri shares Marlowe Mae, 10, Major James, eight, and Mateo Antoni, four, with ex-husband Kyle Martin.

She went on to tie the knot with chef Ian Hock in June at Windrift Hall in New York’s Hudson Valley.

As she raises her brood, she’s teaching them to have a healthier relationship with food — and regularly treats them to McDonald’s.

The mom-of-three said about her youngest child, ‘My 4-year-old will eat half of an ice cream, and he’ll be like, “I think I’m done,” you know?

‘He won’t eat past what he wants, I think because I’m just so nonchalant about it.’

Taking to Instagram on Thursday to share the new interview, Eva wrote to her 226,000 followers, ‘I’m on @sheknows holiday cover and there is a great article accompanying!’

In a follow-up post uploaded to Instagram Stories, she added, ‘I also want to thank the writer of this piece, Rita Templeton, for her super thoughtful article.’

Amurri gushed, ‘It was such a wonderful experience to chat all things holiday with her, but we also delve a lot into coparenting, my divorce experience, and other things that I’ve always felt aren’t talked about enough.’

She praised the outlet, noting: ‘I really appreciate @sheknows for taking the time to put out an article that allowed me to really express myself in this way.

‘Hopefully anybody reading it with unconventional families can feel like they’re represented.’
