Jessica Alba has made it a point to instill healthy eating habits in her children and she continues to lead by example, grabbing a fresh fruit salad and iced coffee for breakfast from a Whole Foods market in Los Angeles on Friday.

The starlet was fresh faced and pretty just one day after she jetted back to LA from New York, where she managed to catch a performance of her pal Zach Braff's performance in the play Bullets Over Broadway.

Joker Zach shared a picture of them together on Wednesday and tweeted, 'The stunning @jessicaalba came to see @BulletsOverBway. It's too bad she is not pretty'

On Friday, Jessica looked relaxed and casual in a pair of green army khakis, a white top and black sweater.

Her hair was pulled back in a loose bun and she completed her look with a pair of gladiator sandals, a gold-studded brown belt, and dark shades.

Interestingly, the glamorous actress recently revealed that she has stopped trying to be 'perfect'.

Jessica, who has daughters Honor, five, and Haven, two, with husband Cash Warren, has relaxed her diet and fitness regimes since becoming a mother, as she wants to set a good example for her children.

She explained: 'As I've gotten older and after I became a mom, it became more of a priority to be healthy for the right reasons. It's more important to have a balanced approach instead of trying to be perfect.'

Jessica still tries to lead a healthy lifestyle, but no longer feels guilty if she eats junk food.

She told People: 'I don't deprive myself ... I have [junk] if I want it. When I do feel that I am depriving myself, I find that I binge. That's not a balanced way to go about it.'

The Machete Kills star goes on 90-minute walks with friends if she doesn't feel like working up a sweat and also finds ways to stay active with her children.

She said: 'I'm not so much into preaching, more into practicing. I like to swim with them, go on family walks.

'The kids like it too, they go crazy, bouncing off the walls if I keep them inside. They'll throw balls around, and I'm going, "You can't throw balls in the house! That's our lamp!"'
