Kourtney Kardashian’s Erewhon Poosh Smoothie Recipe & Review

I am an unsightly smoothie woman, not a Pinterest smoothie woman. A couple of mornings every week, I throw a banana, protein powder, chia seeds, kale or spinach, ice, and perhaps some peanut butter (or, to be trustworthy, any leftover espresso within the carafe) right into a blender and chug down the ensuing green-brown sludge with out pondering a lot about it — often whereas scrolling previous pics of the type of colourful, toppings-laden smoothies I want I used to be ingesting.

However this week, I used to be the one sipping a double-take worthy smoothie: the Poosh Potion Detox Smoothie created by Kourtney Kardashian Barker, which is offered beginning on Oct. 15 for a restricted run at Erewhon, a market with eight places in California. Erewhon has constructed a reputation for itself for its smoothies (and its excessive costs). Just lately, its $17 Cloud Smoothie was the blended drink du jour.

The Poosh Potion Detox Smoothie is as least as eye-catching as the attractive blue Cloud Smoothie and definitely overshadows the inexperienced and pink drinks that often populate my feed. That is as a result of as an alternative of being inexperienced, or blue, or pink, Kardashian Barker’s smoothie was a child goth-appropriate black. Solely too becoming, since Kourt has leaned into her punk-rock side since getting collectively along with her husband, Travis Barker.

I reside on the East coast, so I wasn’t in a position to go to Erewhon for the precise smoothie. However they kindly despatched me the substances and a recipe card so I might make it myself. The smoothie will get its shade (and the phrase “detox” in its title) from one in every of its substances: charcoal powder, which is assumed to assist take in fuel in your abdomen (and “toxins” — though, after all, your body does a great job of detoxifying itself through your present organs). The smoothie additionally incorporates fulvic acid, a bunch of chemical compounds that is supposed to assist hold your immune and GI programs wholesome. Its base was Harmless Harvest coconut water, which I kicked myself for by no means pondering to make use of in my smoothies earlier than — I liked the additional hydration and nutty, salty-sweet style it added to the completed product.

The Poosh Potion Detox Smoothie got here collectively virtually as simply as my typical banana-chia sludge, though it incorporates not less than twice as many substances, and the charcoal powder left lengthy black streaks throughout my kitchen any myself (it doesn’t stain, thank goodness).

Whereas the smoothie seems to be devilish, it tasted nice: coconutty and never too candy, with a very scrumptious creaminess from the avocado, coconut cream, Harmless Harvest dairy-free yogurt, and banana. I had sufficient substances to make my husband a smoothie, and he positively appeared to desire it to my typical concoction (impolite) and mentioned it tasted “wholesome” — not in a “I added kale to this” manner, however in a “balanced” manner.

The Poosh Potion Detox Smoothie created by Kourtney Kardashian Barker can be obtainable at Erewhon markets from Oct. 15 to Nov. 15, for $18. And for those who’re on the fence concerning the price ticket, simply consider it as swapping out one in every of your dear cocktails on an evening out for one thing that is simply as (or extra) scrumptious, however is sweet for you as an alternative (a psychological shift I picked up from this TikTok). Plus, it matches your all-black outfits and feels particularly acceptable for Halloween. Blissful sipping.
