In the original article from Vogue: ​http://www.vogue.com/13450657/supermodel-adriana-lima-crop-top-smoothie-abs-workout/
Lima shared four insider tips to getting crop top–ready, plus her favorite energy-boosting smoothie recipe.
  1. Work Work Work Work Work

    “Unfortunately, there is no magic pill—I actually have to put in hard work to stay fit,” Lima says. Half-hour runs and bike rides around her neighborhood, mixed with CrossFit classes and frequent boxing, does the trick for her, but she suggests finding any activity that you enjoy and a friend to do it with. “Just get up and move!” she adds.

  2. Hydrate Hydrate Hydrate

    The virtues of hydration for Lima are two-fold. First, the complexion: “Fill your belly with water to have great skin!” As a bonus, it helps cut down on the unhealthy snacking that so often occurs due to thirst. “I spend a lot of time in my car—going to the gym, running errands, and shuttling my kids around—where it’s easy to go through a drive-through or pick up chips and candy from the gas station,” she says. “I keep a small cooler filled with water and some sliced fresh fruit in my car to grab, instead.”


  3. Appearances count

    A slick of moisturizing body cream or oil along the core and obliques is an easy complement to any crop top. “Drinking water will help you glow, but when I wear clothes that show off some skin, I like to use lotion or body oil with shimmer to keep it silky and smooth,” <- Idea. 


  4. Morning Metabolism

    An early morning smoothie, made with fresh organic produce, is a good way to boost energy and kick-start your metabolism. “My favorite morning smoothie is a very simple water-based avocado and honey blend,” Lima says. “On days when I want something heavier, I do a yogurt and milk base—to start the morning off right.” Here, she shares her go-to recipe, below:
    1 cup water + 1/2 avocado + Honey to taste


  • Alternatively, if you don't have time to make a smoothie in the morning, make sure you at least eat a slice of bread or something. Carbs in the morning is fine, since you'll be burning the carbs throughout the day anyway (Melody Yap says her carb cut-off time is 7pm).
  • Mori's favourite Avocado Milkshake recipe:
    - 1 x Avocado (NTUC's promotion nearly year-wide is 3 avocado for S$4.95 - buy your avocado in varying shades of colors so you can time your intake. The darker purple ones are riper and the green ones aren't suitable for smoothies)
    - 3/4 cup skim milk 
    ​- Chocolate sauce to taste <3
