Julia Baldet, founder of Elevate smoothies, typically wakes up at 7am, though early events sometimes require a 4am start. She begins her day with supplements: collagen with biotin, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, glutathione, magnesium, and sometimes omega-3. Breakfast is consistently Greek yoghurt with raspberries and nut butter, plus black coffee. While eating, she journals and plans her day, taking 10 minutes to reflect and write down things she is grateful for.
Morning Routine
After breakfast, Julia does 15 minutes of mat Pilates at home, following Bryony Deery’s classes. She works from home for deep focus or at Elevate stores in Bank or Selfridges Food Hall. For lunch, she prefers a light shake—Lean Berries—with 27 grams of protein, blueberries, creatine, and peanut butter to avoid energy slumps.
Business Operations
Julia is involved in expansion planning, scouting locations, and meeting suppliers and investors. Despite her background in investment banking and private equity, she manages stress through self-help books like Atomic Habits by James Clear, focusing on compounding small habits. She listens to affirmations from Mimi Bouchard’s app, such as “the universe has my back.” She avoids wearable fitness trackers to reduce stress.
Evening Wind-Down
Dinner is early, around 7pm, when she puts away her laptop to spend time with her partner. She eats protein with vegetables and grains to minimize decision fatigue, but enjoys treats on weekends. After dinner, she clears her inbox using Fyxer AI for email drafting and organization. She also uses Claude to prepare training for her team on new smoothie recipes. She ends the day reading a book and drinking peppermint tea.
