Reviewing Poosh Recipes: Avocado Style

by

I’ve recently been reading Kourtney Kardashian’s blogs on her POOSH website and have been so interested in trying a few of the recipes/skincare that she has talked about. But I am obsessed with all things avocado (my friends know me for constantly eating avocado toast) so I tried the hair mask and smoothie that Kourtney swears by. I know the smoothie went viral on tik tok but all this fuss has got me wondering if it is really amazing. I mean, you can’t go wrong with avocados so maybe all the hype is accurate.

For the hair mask, I usually don’t do much to my hair. I let it air dry every time I shower so the only real heat I use on it is a straightener. I use a regular shampoo and an oat base conditioner to keep my hair healthy but apparently, this avocado mask is what really helps the naturality come through and the shine.

Avocado Hair Mask:

All in all, this hair mask was AMAZING! My hair was shiny and soft and it worked very well. I will be honest, it was definitely a process. But that’s what self-care is. You take time for yourself.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Avocado
  • 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Tbsp Honey
  • 1/2 Lemon (Juiced)

Instructions: Blend together until fully combined (should be a “jelly” consistency). Place in hair by combing it through your hair with your fingers. Use a towel to cover and hold up your hair for 45 minutes and then wash it out. I would say to let your hair air dry to see true results instead of using a lot of product!

This mask was truly unreal and I would definitely, 100% use it again!

Avocado Smoothie:

Like I said, this smoothie went viral, so I had to try. And it was decently good. I am more a fruit smoothie type person, but if it is cold, it is good.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Avocado
  • 2 Tsp Honey
  • 1 Cup Plant-Based Milk (I used Almond Milk)
  • 1 Scoop Plant-Based Protein Powder (I used Vega Vanilla)
  • She uses MCT oil, but I didn’t have any

Instructions:

Blend all ingredients and enjoy!

It really wasn’t a bad smoothie at all. Maybe it got a little bit more attention than expected but still, it was pretty good!

I liked being able to test out some products so you don’t have to! Especially for food and self-care I am all in!

Stay Kind 🙂
