Introduce us to a day in your busy life? What’s like a day off routine?
Hannah Ann Sluss:
A busy day would consist of me starting my day off with a celery juice or a protein shake. If I need a boost of energy I’ll drink a Celsius energy drink to get going. Then I check my emails and text messages before starting my workout. Depending on the day, I will head to a photo shoot or work on creating content for the brands I am in partnership with. After work, I enjoy relaxing and cooking with my roommate Brooke. Lately we’ve been making Cauliflower crust pizza, spaghetti squash or tacos. Before going to bed, I like watching the sunset while reading a book on the rooftop of my apartment.

Your meal before and after a workout? The secret to a slim torso.
Hannah Ann Sluss:
Before my workout, I typically will eat something light. I’m currently obsessed with one of my new recipes called, “HA’s Healthy Cookie Dough.” After my workout, I like to make paleo waffles or a smoothie. I love sharing my health hacks on my Instagram!
Namita Nayyar:
Favourite Meal of the day according to you would be? What does it contain? Two must-take supplements.
Hannah Ann Sluss:
My favourite meal of the day would definitely be breakfast because I love fruit! Anyone that knows me well knows that I am obsessed with strawberries. It all started when I was little, and I would spend time in the summer in Dalton, Georgia picking strawberries out of my grandparent’s garden. My first birthday cake was strawberry shortcake so it’s always been my thing. Something’s never change!
My two must take supplements would be a good probiotic and a supplement to help with your gut. I know it might sound funny, but gut health is so important. Our gut supports our immunity and energy. I’ve been taking Gut Connection by Country Life Vitamins for a few months now and it has helped me with digestion, bloating, and clearing up my skin. I also like Global Healing’s Floratrex probiotic for gut health. Poppi is a newer drink that has apple cider vinegar which is also amazing for I find that these products really help me build my immune system which is extra important right now.

Top three healthy snack options? Two diet secrets you would like to share?
Hannah Ann Sluss:
The first healthy snack option would be rice cake and nut butter. I’m obsessed with Justin’s nut butter. There are so many flavours to choose from. My favourite is the maple almond butter. I like to add cinnamon and strawberries on top. The second option would be a little more of a guilty pleasure- Pop corners’ white cheddar is my biggest weakness. They are a delicious and healthier alternative to potato chips.
Two diet secrets I would share would be to listen to your body and eat when you are hungry. Starving yourself is never a good idea. I also think that drinking water is so important. I try to drink at least a gallon a day to stay hydrated and I find that it curbs my appetite and helps with my skin.
The second secret would be to eliminate processed foods. When I go to the grocery store I try to stay away from the middle isles and choose fresh produce, vegetables and meats. I try to avoid buying processed snacks and eat from the refrigerator as much as I can.
