Jennifer Garner is showing everyone how to power up like a superhero or in Elektra’s case an anti-hero.

Taking to social media, Garner, 52, shared a clip of her making a smoothie while on set of Deadpool & Wolverine. The cherry on top? The actress was dressed in full Elektra gear.

“Elektra Smoothie. A great and filling way for all superheroes - cape wearing or not - to start their day,” she captioned her August 6th Instagram video, part of her hilarious Pretend Cooking Show series.

In the video, Garner gathers the ingredients, which are displayed via text on screen, into a blender attachment.

She also detailed in the caption, “1 serving protein powder, 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed, 1 Tbsp chia seeds, 1 Tbsp almond butter (if no one’s looking I use extra…), 1 cup almond milk, Handful of fresh spinach, Handful of ice [and a] Small handful of berries (please see almond butter, also true here).”

She also gave a shoutout to Kelly LeVeque, celeb nutritionist and author, for this powerhouse mix.

The actress hollers, “Blender,” before mixing the masterpiece. She then does a taste test using one of Elektra’s sai’s,—the character's sword-like weapon of choice, before signing off, “Have a good day.”

This is just another gem from Garner, who’s always sharing fun snippets of her life online. Recently, she’s shown us her bird-watching hobby, pool games and even her hilarious elevator mishap during San Diego Comic Con.

And just when you think she couldn’t be more relatable, she recently joined the TikTok sports fail trend. With a “Sad to announce I didn’t make the cut for Paris 2024” caption set to the Olympics theme, she posted a video of herself attempting a 33" box jump at home. Kanye West’s “Heartless” plays in the background as she psychs herself up, leaps and lands on her knees. She bursts into laughter and points at the box, exclaiming, “That's very tall!!”

Here’s to Jen, always keeping it real and entertaining!
