Hannah, 44, changed her bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and creator now living the uninhibited jungle life.'
But as these unique photos show, even an eco-warrior needs the occasional check out to the grocery store in their gas-guzzling 4x4.
Recently, Adam, 45, packed up the couple's 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up with the weekly shop at the big BM grocery store in Dominical, about half an hour down the mountain from where the couple and their two young children have based themselves.
Hannah and Adam's hillside estate with its own waterfalls and sensational views of rich green valleys is a far cry from their life in Britain, which they waved goodbye to in January.
Hannah announced to her 348k Instagram fans that the couple now plan to 'discover permaculture' so they can 'live off the land' growing fruit and vegetables.
But residents and other expats in the hills above Dominical on Costa Rica's Pacific coast, informed MailOnline that the obstacles of self-sufficiency can be 'immense'.
'Of course it depends upon several factors such as just how much dough you have, how much land and above all, just how much experience,' said an American member of the local ex-pat Facebook group, Domi Crew.

Despite Hannah changing her Instagram bio to: 'Prepper, survivalist and developer now living the uninhibited jungle life', Adam was seen this week stocking up on the weekly shop at B&M
Adam was seen bring a McDonald's soda cup as he got out of the family's gas-guzzling 4x4 truck. B&M grocery store offers a series of items consisting of sodas, confectionery, and alcohol, as well as toiletries and cleansing items and garden furniture
Hannah has been posting about her picturesque life in Costa Rica - and included this photo of herself on the balcony of their home ignoring tropical jungle

'It can be done, of course, however there are a lot of people who've attempted and underestimated how challenging it is, then been forced to look for some other type of paid work rather to get by.'
If that ought to happen to Hannah and Adam, there would be lots of opportunities in the prospering tourist and browsing resort of Dominical, must the couple choose to work.
The town is less than half an hour's drive down the mountain in their huge gas-guzzling 3.0 litre diesel Toyota Hi Lux pick-up which Hannah showed off on Instagram recently.
There is a wide variety of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, healthy food shops, quick food restaurants and a huge BM supermarket, where the couple have actually both been seen.
Though some Instagram followers have actually presumed the couple's wooden house with glorious views of the dawn from the terrace would be 'off grid', it likely is not.
More than 99 percent of the numerous villas and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electriicty and most boast a/c and high-speed web also, provided either by fibre optic cable or satellite.
Judging by photos posted by Adam on Facebook in their airy cooking area with a high vaulted ceiling, the family will not lack any mod cons in the home.
At the grocery store today, MailOnline found Adam filling a trolley high with products including loo paper and bread to take home. Before heading back to their apartment or condo, he cleared the truck of some rubbish including a soft beverage cup from McDonald's.
One realty representative in Dominical told MailOnline: 'There is a really healthy residential or commercial property market around here and it's driven by immigrants. Much of them are digital wanderers running their organization from here because it's lovely, with the jungle, the beaches and the quality of life.
'But actually making a living from the land is a difficult task, unless you have significant resources and know-how, or have enough residential or commercial property to rent it out to paying guests.'
Hannah posted this video of a campfire and a Volkswagen camper van as part of the household's clean slates after quitting the UK for the warmer climes of main America
However, the truth is that Hannah and Adam are using this environmentally unfriendly 3.0 litre diesel Hi Lux pick-up truck to do the day-to-day chores like popping to the grocery store
Hannah moved to Costa Rica after a series of well-publicised obstacles including the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole and the row over her quitting S Club 7
It's not understood just how much capital Hannah and Adam have between them, but their plans to open a holistic food store in Twickenham needed to be shelved in 2015, apparently since of spiralling expenses.
The business residential or commercial property in the heart of Twickenham town, purchased in Hannah's name in November 2018 for ₤ 520,000 with a mortgage, was offered in March, having been on the marketplace for ₤ 900,000.
Adam announced the couple's move to Central America back in January with a foul-mouthed attack on Britain, stating 'F *** the UK and f *** the f *** ing lot of them. We GOOONE!!!'.
His intemperate Facebook post was accompanied by a sweet photo of his two children, Taya, 5 and four-year-old Tora, in a hammock at their stunning tropical rain forest home.
But the bitter tone of his invective against politicians of all colors, and 'nosey jobsworth c *** s in every federal government department and the NHS' raised another question.
Could an awful occurrence which saw the couple clash with police and social employees three years ago over an injury to their child child have been a consider their decision to quit Britain?
The relocate to Costa Rica brought to an end a well-publicised headache few years for Hannah, that included the death of her ex-boyfriend and band member Paul Cattermole in 2023, her uncomfortable departure from S Club 7, a devastating breast implant surgical treatment leading to years of disease and a spell in rehabilitation to wean her off powerful pain killers.
But less popular is one of the darkest chapters in her 2023 autobiography, Facing the Music, billed as a 'searingly honest memoir', concerning a clash between the couple and social services.
In December 2022, while house-sitting for good friends in Virginia Water, Surrey, press reports branded the couple 'homeless' while they were between rental flats.
When then young child Tora suffered an injury, believed to be brought on by a dog leaping up and scratching her eyelid, Hannah wrote: 'We found ourselves on the radar of social services, an absolutely ridiculous situation to be in, totally unjustified.'
She recalled the dreadful occurrence when she ran towards the sound of Tora's screams: 'The scene that I in the living room will stick with me forever. Tora was basing on the couch, eyelids horrifically lacerated and the worst facial injury I've ever seen.'
At the health center, she wrote: 'Among the nurses came in, and asked Adam if she could have a word with him outside. What I didn't understand was that as quickly as he left the room, the cops were waiting on him and jailed him, taking him off in handcuffs.
'What was already a terrible circumstance had ramped up to something inexpressible'.
When the household landed in Costa Rica Hannah's partner Adam posted this picture on his public Facebook page of their two daughters and consisted of an expletive-laden rant at the UK
Adam - imagined in the couple's spacious Costa Rica home - ranted about Keir Starmer, the Tories, Reform and the NHS as he said goodbye to Britain
But after the bitterness of stopping the UK, the family's dreams of a brand-new live have come true as they enjoy early morning waterfall walks and an outside play ground as part of their lives
Hannah declared that media reports about their momentary homelessness had somehow convinced the authorities that it was most likely that a person or other of them had inflicted their child's injuries.
She said: 'It's really frightening to believe that someone with absolutely no evidence can paint a picture like that which influences someone being arrested and secured while their daughter lies in a hospital bed, awaiting significant surgery.'
She included: 'It seemed like persecution, among those authorities states that people speak about.
'Honestly, I do not believe I can ever forgive individuals accountable, although we have actually made every effort to ignore it, and them, as quickly as possible.'
Nevertheless, while the social services performed their examination, she stated, the household needed to reside in accommodation where other responsible grownups were present.
She included: 'This was adding insult to severe injury and bearing in mind my gradual decline in health normally, I was truly beginning to anguish.'
It wasn't the very first time Adam Thomas had been examined for supposed violence. In 2016, he was charged with assaulting Hannah in a domestic argument, and daunting a witness.
But when the case concerned trial, it collapsed, and he was found not guilty of typical attack and witness intimidation throughout a hearing at Kingston Crown Court. The court heard that 3 prosecution witnesses were not offered and that the case might not continue.
Adam Thomas was found not guilty and released.
Hannah and Adam are thought to have actually selected Costa Rica to settle after delighting in a journey to the spectacular location in 2018.
Hannah has repeatedly required to Instagram to wax lyrical about how well the relocation has actually ended up for them and marvelled at the appeal of Costa Rica
The see originally motivated them to establish the café, Fire and Earth, in Twickenham in 2022. However, it was never prepared to open totally and they sold up previously this year.
A source stated: 'It's the most current in a sequence of obstacles. The brand-new strategy is offering up and relocating to Costa Rica to live off the land.'
Meanwhile Hannah, who has struggled with an autoimmune condition given that 2013, had actually been set to join her former band on their comeback tour in 2023 but pulled out following a feud over contracts.
Following the row, the other members - Rachel Stevens, Jo O'Meara, Jon Lee, Bradley McIntosh and Tina Barrett - announced that they would continue as a five-piece.
As well as living off the land, there is a wide of luxury hotels, yoga retreats, craft breweries, high-end dining establishments, healthy food stores, junk food restaurants offered to Hannah and Adam
All the mod cons are readily available to the family with 99 percent of the many vacation homes and farms dotted in the forest are on mains electrical power and most boast air conditioning and high-speed web
Hannah was said to have actually been blindsided by the S Club announcement, with her being left on bad terms with the band in which she rose to fame in the early 2000s.
She then apparently drafted in legal representatives and made the strong relocate to release her autobiography on the same day the band would have taken to the phase.
Before Paul's death, all 7 members of the chart-topping band initially verified they were reuniting for a landmark 25th anniversary tour.
Hannah at first refused to sign up with the line-up, pointing out a lack of child care and just concurred to sign up with when music manager Simon Fuller offered to pay for nannies to come along.
Two months later, band member Paul died, and Hannah then accepted a five-figure sum to inform her story, which left a bitter taste in the remaining band member's mouths.
The Dancing On Ice star apologised to S Club's fans for choosing to leave but stated she needed to do what was best for herself and her family.
