I’ve been trying to add a lot more protein into my diet.
Earlier this week, we talked to Ballerini more about the new flavor and her usual cafe order.
Since college, coffee has been consistent in my life and makes it feel like home wherever I am.

Life keeps getting crazier; it’s my happy place.
Like a Ballerini Blend?
I was like, say less!

It felt really fun to be able to collaborate with them and now share it.

EatingWell:Whats your usual cafe order?
Ballerini:It depends.
I’ll either do black coffee if I really just need to wake up.
I’ll probably do it maybe once a week and it’s my favorite.
EatingWell:Go-to breakfast to pair with your coffee?
Ballerini:I do Pilates in the morning, three days a week.
So before that, I’ll make a smoothie, just a green smoothie, and add coconut water.
EatingWell:What does your typical morning routine look like?
So we’ll have Mom-and-Dibs time, and then coffees immediately next.
Sometimes I’ll sit on the porch with my dog, drink my coffee.
I really love a slow morning.
I’m a Virgo, so I make to-do lists like it’s no one’s business.
Thats my ideal morningand then a seven- or eight-step skin-care routine.
EatingWell:Are you an early riser?
Ballerini:I’m really not.
EatingWell:What does eating well mean to you?
Ballerini:I think that definition has really evolved a lot for me.
Especially in my teens and early 20s, I had a very challenging relationship with food.
