"We've been working hard! We're global," Banks said. "We're about to be on a cruise."

The cover girl had just made a stop at Whole Foods in Santa Monica, where she picked up some tasty items for some research and development.

"I feel it's time for me to really focus on my business and my entrepreneurship and also producing more TV, but behind the scenes. I think it's time to graduate from the dance floor to the stock market floor," Banks told TMZ.

Banks previously expressed how honored she felt to become the show's first Black female host. "I like breaking those doors down, so that we don't have any more firsts," she told Good Morning America at the time. "But it's nice to be first, so that you can open that door and let so many other people in after you — so I'm excited."
