I use almond milk in so many recipes. It’s my staple ingredient. I’m lactose intolerant, so this is a great alternative.
I haven’t been lucky finding good quality commercial brand, so I make my own, it’s super easy. I usually make it on a Sunday night and make enough so it lasts me the whole week:
I’m currently in Prague having just finished shooting a commercial campaign with the Norwegian, LA based director, Ray Kay. We shot Christmas ads and had fake snow all around, which made me daydream of the previous week’s vacation in Italy, even more than I already was.
Tomorrow I’m running another race as an ambassador for the Women’s Challenge, so come and cheer us on at 7:30pm on Namesti Republiky. On Sunday I’m heading home to New York, right into the middle of the fashion week madness. I have a Chloe presentation next week, which I’m so excited about, their line for next season is breathtaking so I’ll get to wear a few beautiful pieces.
My girl Sarah, who you’ve heard so much about on the blog already, will guide you through her adopted home town of Miami. She’s been living there for a while now, much to my disfavor as I miss her in New York so much.
I met this ‘bella chicca’ almost 16 years ago and we shared an apartment in Athens. Our story of running into each other randomly in New York 12 years later is almost a fairy-tale (I mentioned it here) and I’ll forever be grateful for it as I wouldn’t have the same positive, happy and uplifting outlook on life as I do when Sarah is around.
Here’s where this super girl eats, shops, drinks and the things she thinks you shouldn’t miss under any circumstances when visiting Miami? Read along!
You guys often ask how a typical week looks for me. Well every week is very different, but here’s how this very, very special one looked?
I’m actually gonna start with Sunday, not Monday, you’ll see why.
Sunday: I started my day with a 15k run in Central Park. It was quite tricky I have to say; maybe a tiny hangover after hosting a dinner party on Saturday had something to do with it, or perhaps because it was 34C and 99% humidity? I’ll go with the latter. I got poo’d on by a bird at the 3rd kilometer, good luck I thought, though it didn’t smell like a good luck!
Monday: Tracy Anderson’s workout at 6am, Mon is usually my day off exercising, but because I’m heading on vacation I had to fit something in, the New York Marathon is sneaking up on me. I made summer borscht and shared the recipe with you guys. I had 6 castings that day, and when I was heading to flight school in Ronkonkoma in the evening I got shit on by a bird again, luckiest week ever right!! I’m taking night lessons at the moment and it’s a totally different experience, it’s amazing but I got home at 2:30am. At this point I’ve been going for 20 hours!
Tuesday: My photo-shoot for Trina Turk starts at 7:30 am so I’m up at 5:30, ouch! The shoot finishes at 7pm and I rush to the cobbler to collect some shoes. He stayed open for me; he’s the best in town. You’ll find him on the right of 14th Street, between 1st & 2nd Avenues. No time to pick anything up for dinner so after a quick 8k run, it’s leftover borscht and banoffee pie for dinner. I’ll share the ‘healthy’ banoffee recipe soon!
Soup for summer, why not?
This one is to be served cold. It’s vegan, sugar and lactose free, of course. It’s bursting with minerals and thanks to my favorite apple cider vinegar (more on this amazing ‘superfood’ soon), it’s full of beneficial bacteria, magical workers for your digestive system!
Ingredients: (this will make a big pot of soup, it will serve about 8 people)
