Foods Kourtney Kardashian Swears by for a Healthier Life: Apple Tea, Avocado Smoothies and More

Kourtney Kardashian is serious about her healthy outlook on life! The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star launched Poosh – her lifestyle website – on Tuesday, April 2, and it’s filled with tips and tricks for how people can lead nutritious, more mindful lives, especially when it comes to what they eat. Kardashian, 39, says the site is “not about preaching or judging,” and noted she envisions it as a place where people can have a dialogue about everything from “a kick-ass eyeshadow palette” to a juicy burger. “At Poosh, we believe that life isn’t black or white, it’s not this extreme or that extreme, so why should a healthy lifestyle be so rigid?” the site states. “The ‘all or nothing’ approach is antiquated. The very essence of healthy living is moderation. Healthy living is a mindset, and Poosh explores how the modern woman is able to achieve just this.” [jwplayer zr84vYp6-l3ahXupL] The reality star has always maintained a strict diet, and has taken part in several popular eating trends. In the past, the mom of three has gone gluten and dairy-free, experimented with intermittent fasting and used apple cider vinegar to slim down. Though she doesn’t push any one particular diet on Poosh readers, Kardashian does share intel on the foods she can’t live without – a.k.a. the eats that she always has stocked in her house in order to maintain her slim frame. For example, the California native’s “morning go-to” is an avocado smoothie, which, in addition to being loaded with healthy fats, she says is one of her “favorite” things to drink. Kardashian also has “signature salad” (of course she does) that is loaded with nutritious foods such as protein-packed hard-boiled eggs, avocado (again), and, if you’re feeling crazy, cheese. Scroll down for more of the health-conscious star’s must-have foods and go-to recipes!

Gluten-Free Bread

The reality star has adhered to many diets in the past, and currently keeps her home a mostly gluten-free zone. That’s probably why, according to a Posh post on healthy grocery store essentials, Kardashian is a fan of Canyon Bakehouse’s line of gluten-free bread, bagels, buns and more. All of the brand’s baked goods are made without gluten.

Avocado Smoothies

The three-ingredient recipe takes about 10 minutes to throw together, and is one of Kardashian’s “favorite breakfast options.” It features the green fruits, coconut milk and a sweetener of your choice. However, since Poosh notes avocados are high in fat, the reality star prefers to sip on this pastel green drink in the morning so she can burn the calories throughout the day. “Kourt recently updated her recipe by swapping honey for dates,” the site states. “This tweak still adds a bit of sweetness and provides an additional source of fiber.”

This Salad

It’s not surprising that Kardashian has a “signature salad” and, like the smoothie, this go-to meal is easy to prepare. “The simple combination of hard-boiled eggs, avocado, tomatoes, and mozzarella make for a healthy and filling dish,” boasts a Poosh post. Though dairy-free Kourt “skips the cheese,” she’s not about to deny others a nice helping of mozzarella. “Since the low-carb meal contains healthy fats and fibers (thanks to avocado and eggs), you’ll feel full longer throughout the day,” the post adds. “We promise you won’t regret adding this tasty recipe to your lunch rotation.”

Apple Tea

When she’s thirsty, Kardashian loves to whip up some homemade apple tea. The star’s go-to brew, which was actually introduced to her by her family baby nurse, includes turmeric, ginger and a host of other flavorful ingredients. As Poosh notes, this beverage is “Kourt and Kendall’s signature tea to make together whenever KJ pops by Kourt’s house.”

Paloma Cocktails

Since Poosh states Kardashian’s “alcohol of choice” is tequila, it’s no surprise she’s a fan of a libation known as a Paloma, which features the spirit, grapefruit juice, agave and a handful of other ingredients. According to the site, the star “likes to keep her beverages simple and fresh.” Though not exactly healthy, this “light and refreshing” drink is certainly better for you than many of the sugar-packed alternatives.

Kris Jenner’s Famous Brownies

When Kardashian’s sweet tooth kicks in, she turns to a family brownie recipe she learned from mom Kris Jenner, which she now shares with her own kids, Mason, Penelope and Reign. The sweet treats have been a staple at Kardashian family gatherings for years and, according to Poosh, they “never disappoint.” However, when Kardashian bakes the confections in her own home, she “slightly tweaks” Jenner’s instructions to use gluten and dairy-free ingredients.
