ONE MORNING 

Aleksandra Ralnikova comes to mind when you hear "Splash Asnieres," "Chez Monix," or "Pas Parisiens." Aleksandra the muse of  the hippest, modernist, and swankiest eatery chain in Paris (France), talks to KASAA LIFE about how she balances work and family life and how she keeps the fit and other lifestyle secrets.

KASAA LIFE: Aleksandra, please tell us how you usually start your day?

ALEKSANDRA RALNIKOVA: Usually my day begins early in the morning (I love waking up in the morning) with a contrast shower and a warm drink with lemon - this helps me to warm up and tune in to the working day. After I bring my child to school, there is often not enough time for breakfast before that, so I have breakfast after home at those days when I work remotely or in the office with colleagues On weekends in good weather, my favourite start in the morning is to run on an empty stomach.

KASAA LIFE: Share your perfect breakfast recipe.

ALEKSANDRA RALNIKOVA: My ideal breakfast without hesitation is definitely the "Acai Bowl".

To do this, I take frozen acai berries (it is also possible to make it from berry powder), half a banana, a little vegetable milk, sometimes a teaspoon of honey and mix in a blender until smooth. The density is adjusted to taste, thanks to vegetable milk.

I spread the resulting mass into a bowl and add homemade granola chia seeds, nuts or seeds, sometimes berries.

Such a bowl is difficult to spoil, you can add various super foods to it - it is very useful, tasty, fast and beautiful! For those who like to get aesthetic pleasure from acai bowl food - the perfect breakfast. (Smiling).

KASAA LIFE: Please tell us about your daily sports and beauty rituals, if any.

ALEKSANDRA RALNIKOVAOf the daily rituals, this is necessarily a stomach vacuum (tensing the muscle without moving it) 8 times for 15 seconds and a plank for 4 minutes, even when there is absolutely no time in the morning, these two are always with me. (Laughing).

On weekends, I add running to my morning routine.

From beauty, this is definitely face and neck skin care. In addition, there are various face masks, ice made with herbs to sooth skin and mood. These are always in my freezer.
