Here’s what Vloet’s health and wellness regimen looks like.

1. Morning Routine

Vloet starts her day with matcha tea. “I usually wake up around 6:30 / 7:00,” she told Dr. Barbara Sturm. “I am a morning person and feel I am the most productive in the early hours. Dedicating the first hours in the morning to myself helps me to stay grounded throughout the day especially when I have a busy schedule. I take out my foam roller and will do stretches for about 15 minutes. Then I either do a Pilates workout, or I go take a shower and then do my morning skincare routine; my three essentials are the Dr. Barbara Sturm hyaluronic serum, face cream rich for my dry skin and the sun drops SPF 50.”

2. Pilates Workouts

Vloet does Pilates four times a week. “I always feel better and energized,” she told Stylecaster. “So even if I’m tired and I go work out, I know I’m going to feel better after. I always say to myself, “Did you ever regret that workout?” and if you think about it, nobody really does. So, then I think, ‘OK. I’ll go.’”

3. Protein Bars

Vloet keeps protein bars on hand for a healthy snack. “I love to snack with RX Protein bars,” she told Stylecaster. “They have them in all different flavors and it’s nice to change them up. I snack with nuts or rice crackers with avocado, a piece of fruit like an apple, or a little piece of dark chocolate.”

4. Salads and Protein

Vloet loves a big salad for lunch. “My go-to lunch is a big salad with grilled veggies, a fresh herb dressing, avocado, chickpeas and a protein like egg, quinoa, salmon, or chicken,” she told Dr. Barbara Sturm. “I also really enjoy tacos for lunch. I often use leftovers from dinner in a taco, you can basically put anything in there! I don’t like to waste food. I really love Gjusta or Gjelina here in L.A. The quality of the ingredients is incredible, and everything is organic and mostly locally sourced. All the dishes taste so fresh. I also really enjoy Goop Kitchen here in Santa Monica!”

5. Lots of Home Cooking

Vloet loves cooking at home. “Honestly, I get a lot of inspiration from my travels,” she told Dr. Barbara Sturm. “I would say my cooking style is a mix between Japanese dishes, Mediterranean and Indian! My ideal fall or winter dinner would be a grilled miso salmon, steamed kabocha squash, a kale salad and jasmine rice or a hearty vegan curry with chickpea and sweet potatoes.”
