A fit, athletic woman in her 30s standing in a bright, modern kitchen in the early morning. She is fully dressed in stylish athleisure — fitted high-waisted leggings, a structured zip-up athletic jacket or long-sleeve top, and clean sneakers. She looks composed and energized. Laid out on the marble countertop in front of her are a colorful nutritious breakfast: a smoothie bowl with berries and seeds, sliced avocado toast, and a glass of water. Beside the food are several supplement bottles and capsules neatly arranged. Warm natural morning light streams through large windows. The mood is calm, intentional, aspirational. Photorealistic, cinematic, wide landscape composition suitable for a hero banner. No text overlays.
