Personal Trainer
She has an elegant figure and that does not come so easily. A strict diet and a regular exercise regimen are responsible to achieve that level of fitness.
She has a sweet tooth so without doing any harm to her body, she drinks fresh mixed fruit juice, which she herself makes. The juice includes apple, pineapple, kale, spinach, and celery. Nia also likes to eat raw cookie dough chunks.
She starts her day with green tea and also drinks chamomile tea at night. A protein shake is again one of the items in her diet plan.
Nia drinks lots of water throughout the day.
Her go-to snack is salted almonds or tuna packets.
She makes her own enchiladas and makes sure it is healthy by adding less cheese but adding chicken.
As a sample, her diet plan is as –
- Breakfast – Eggs / scrambled eggs, oatmeal, and fresh fruit.
