Now Gisele the smug mom shares her domestic goddess tips on homemade drinks, raising chickens and healthy school snacks

When she's not walking the catwalk or posing for high-end campaigns, Gisele moonlights as a chicken farmer, or so she says.
The Brazilian supermodel, who was spotted in a Boston park getting some exercise on Monday, recently revealed some kitchen secrets to Food & Wine magazine.
The highest-paid model in the world, the tall blonde often likes to dole out advice and play the down-to-earth mom.

For Monday's outing, the 33-year-old wore black leggings, a black tank top with a pink sports bra peeking out, gray Converse sneakers and a gray sweater tied around her waist.
Her long hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she wore sunglasses and carried a yellow water bottle, which just might have contained one of her secret recipes.
She told Food & Wine that she makes her own version of healthy lemonade, but also hinted that it can be spiked, if you wish.
'I make an aloe-lemon drink that's pretty healthy, but you could add tequila,' she told the publication. 'Juice three lemons, peel fresh aloe, add a teaspoon of coconut nectar and a gallon of water, and blend it.'

She also shared a special practice she claims to share with her school-age son, Benjamin, whose dad is New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 36.
'Benjamin and I make his school snack together - fruit leather in our dehydrator,' she explained. 'You can use any fruit, but I always use banana as the base because it has great texture and sweetness. My son is so proud; he goes to school and tells all his friends he made his own snack.'
Those aren't the only kitchen tricks she learned from her mother, who raised six girls and worked, she says.

Perhaps her most suspect revelation was that she keeps chickens on the property she shares with Brady, their two children - Benjamin, 4, and daughter Vivian, 17 months and Brady's six-year-old son John with his ex-partner Bridget Moynahan.
'I have a beautiful garden in L.A. where I raise chickens,' she told the culinary guide. 'We have very little waste because the chickens eat all of the vegetable scraps, and anything they won't eat, I put in my compost pile with the chicken poo.'
Although it's hard to imagine a diva actually tending to chickens, let alone a compost heap.

And when it comes to spicing up your meals, she was free with even more advice, suggesting exotic pink Himalayan salt, used judicously.
'Never salt your food until the end,' she instructed. 'If you put salt on the food in the beginning, you use a lot more than you need.'
Other tidbits from the interview include exercise and travel tips.
'I've lived on planes. I get up and stretch in the aisle,' she revealed. 'I don't care if people are looking at me like, "What is this crazy woman doing?"'
For those with endless amounts of time and money to travel, she also raved about a special spot in her homeland.
'In the southeast, there's a place called Bonito, with the most fantastic waterfalls. You walk into this forest and you feel like you're in Avatar.'

Gisele drew raves on Wednesday flouncing around in a gray Prophetik hemp gown at the Rainforest Alliance Gala in Manhattan.
The lingerie model founded the Clean Water Project and even has a forest named after her in her native Brazil.
'After attending the Rainforest Alliance gala, I connected with their efforts to conserve the environment and help impoverished communities,' she told Food & Wine. 'I recently joined their board, so now I can participate more in their projects that I'm passionate about.'

Gisele has become known for snippets like this touting her lifestyle advice.
In December she raised ire when she posted a shot of herself breastfeeding Vivian, while reclining in a penthouse apartment, all caramel limbs and honey-hued tresses, as a team of stylists pamper every inch of her billion-dollar body.
'What would I do without this beauty squad after 15 hours of flying and only 3 hours of sleep?' Miss Bundchen trilled in a caption, adding the obnoxious hashtag #multitasking.

Being as out-of-touch as she is gorgeous seems to come naturally to Gisele, from telling other mothers how to feed their children to chastising new moms for pregnancy weight gain.
'There should be a worldwide law, in my opinion, that mothers should breastfeed their babies,' she told a fashion magazine.
She added: 'I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate and I gained only  30 pounds (just over 2st).'
She also bragged that losing baby weight is a breeze. So much so that she described taking care of her house and husband just 24 hours after giving birth: 'The next day I was walking, I was washing dishes, I was making pancakes in the kitchen.'
