Steal CEO Jaclyn Johnson's Go-To Smoothie Recipe

"He starts with a growl, then progresses to a bark, always at six. My husband and I take him for a walk or go for a hike in Griffith Park. The fresh air and sunrise give me instant go-getter vibes."

"If I don't have time for a hike, I'll hop on my Peloton bike. I love studio workouts, but commuting is such a time-suck, and by evenings, I'm exhausted."

"After I exercise, we make breakfast, usually a peach-cardamom smoothie, or eggs if we're not rushing. I work long hours, so this little sliver is our chance to connect each day. We listen to NPR and drink coffee-I add cinnamon for an antioxidant boost."

"Once I've showered, I rub oil basically all over myself! I'm a huge fan of Biossance rose oil; it makes my skin so soft. I also run a little Bumble and Bumble 'invisible oil' through my hair to help tame it. Then I take a few droplets of liquid vitamin D before I brush my teeth. I forget to take vitamins, but these taste like mint, so they fit into my regimen."

"When I'm there early, I can settle in before people arrive. I light a candle and Zen out. I have my me-time, then I can conquer my day."
