A fruity new hobby! Alessandra Ambrosio picks lemons with the help of daughter Anja

When life hands you lemons: Alessandra Ambrosio and daughter Anja were seen picking fruit in Los Angeles on Monday

Off-duty model: The Victoria's Secret Angel slipped into comfortable clothing for the activity

The statuesque model did the legwork, but despite her 5ft 9.5in frame Alessandra still needed an extra boost so hopped onto a step ladder.

Meanwhile little Anja was seen lending a hand as she stood by her famous mother’s side while holding a pink bucket for the fruit to be collected in.

As she reached into the air to pluck a lemon from the tree, Alessandra flashed a hint of her toned and tanned tummy.

I'll help, Mommy: Anja stood close by with a bucket as her mother did the legwork and plucked the fruit from the tree

A tasty treat: Perhaps the mother and daughter duo were going to make lemonade or a lemon-based dessert

But the star, who is also mother to ten-month-old Noah, was more soccer mom than Brazilian bombshell when it came to her wardrobe choice for the day.

She was dressed casually in a pair of black yoga pants along with a loose-fitting grey sweater and metallic pewter pumps with turquoise soles.

Alessandra swept her caramel coloured locks into a neat ponytail and finished her look with dark sunglasses.

Even she needs a boost: The 31-year-old may be 5ft 9.5in but she still needed the help of a stepladder
