Welcome to our brand new series THIS is how she does it. Each week we'll feature a prominent Aussie mum and take you through her day.
We can't think of a better way to launch the series than with the amazing Janine Allis, mother of four and founder of BOOST Juice.

WAKE UP
I wake up about 6.30am with my daughter running into me for a morning cuddle. She then sends her daddy off to get her warm milk (she has him wrapped around her little finger). I have a shower to wake up as I am not a morning person. My husband Jeff normally brings me a tea (yes, I will keep him) to assist me in the waking up process. The next hour is getting the kids dressed and ready for school. I make a juice for us both – mine is apple, ginger, carrot and celery. Jeff’s is the same but with beetroot. We then go for a morning walk to take our 4 year old to kinder, then I am off to my regular yoga session, and then to work.
I tend to wear nothing to bed as I find clothing restricting and I find it hard to sleep; maybe this is why my husband is so nice to me in the morning! I do love my bed.
BREAKFAST
Every day I have a juice, (I promise I do, I am not just saying it). I also love a coffee in the morning. I often have a smoothie in the morning. I add ingredients like liquid iron, LSA (Linseed, Soy and Almond), chai or flaxseed oil. If for some reason I miss the smoothie I really feel lacking in clarity and energy. On weekends, we do our normal walk but we stop at our local café for a breakfast, with a newspaper. Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day.
