Maria Sharapova Reveals What She Would Do In Free Five Minutes

Maria Sharapova was asked by Fast Company what she would do if she had free five minutes during the day. The Russian player said: “Call my boyfriend and tell him something silly”, she said referring to Alexander Gilkes, who she has been dating since 2016.

On her routines, Sharapova added: “When I’m training, the most important on switch is a healthy breakfast. I make a green smoothie with romaine lettuce, avocado, spinach, mint, and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. I also buy chestnut bread from the local farmers market and eat it with blanched almond butter.”

On the best places to go on holidays in, the five-time Grand Slam winner said: “The Belmond Residencia in Deia Majorca, Spain. I love that part of the world and recently stayed at this beautiful property—I would go back in a heartbeat!

We also hiked to eat paella at Saforadada, which was one of two ways to get to the restaurant. It’s either hiking or a boat. The hike back up after the meal is a trek, but at least it works off the meal. Also, I love road trips, and driving in Spain always feels easier.”

On founding her company Sugarpova, the former world No. 1 said: “I’ve had a sweet tooth for as long as I can remember, and it’s the reason I decided to start my own candy company, Sugarpova, seven years ago.

We just launched our new line of all-natural gummy candies, and they’re so good! The strawberry cream flavor is probably my favorite.”

On her favorite charity to donate to, she concluded: “My mother was pregnant with me when Chernobyl exploded 30 kilometers from where we lived.

Many of my contributions have been toward families and regions affected by the disaster.”
