Stassie Karanikolaou is heating up Greece in her bikini. In a new social media post, the influencer shows off her fantastic figure while taking a dip in the sea. “Hi,” she captioned the series of swimsuit Instagram snaps. “Hawt,” commented Tate McCrae. “Ur so perfect,” added another follower. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Coffee
Stassie loves coffee. In a YouTube video, she revealed that her favorite is an iced vanilla latte consisting of a few shots of espresso with vanilla sweetener from Starbucks and oat milk. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
Protein Smoothies
Stassie usually has a smoothie before exercising. She makes it with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, probiotic green powder, peanut butter, and protein powder. Why do you need protein? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance reduces body weight (BW). It enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

In her YouTube video, Stassie reveals she is devoted to fitness. She starts her morning with a “two mile walk-slash-run.” In another video, she revealed her gym workout, which includes strength training exercises like weighted squats and barbell bench presses. “If you can’t tell, my arms are jello,” she joked during the workout.

Stassie also plays Padel. In a video, she and her friends hit the courts. The sport is similar to pickleball, which helps improve heart health, enhances muscle and bone strength, increases balance and coordination, boosts brain health, and lengthens lifespan, per the Cleveland Clinic.
