Copycat Booster Juice Eclipse Smoothie
⚠️ Safety note: Use food-grade activated charcoal only. It can interfere with the absorption of medications and supplements. Avoid within 2–3 hours of any meds, and skip if pregnant/breastfeeding unless a healthcare pro says it’s okay.
Inky, moody, and surprisingly bright in flavor. Eclipse drinks the part of Halloween but tastes like a dark-berry smoothie with a tropical lift.
Ingredients (1 serving)
½ cup frozen blueberries
½ cup frozen black cherries (or dark sweet cherries)
½ frozen banana
¼ cup pineapple chunks
½–⅔ cup apple juice (or white grape juice)
¼ cup vanilla yogurt (dairy or coconut)
¼–½ tsp food-grade activated charcoal powder (start at ¼ tsp; add more for deeper black)
½ cup ice 1 tsp honey or agave (optional, to taste)
Instructions
Bloom the charcoal: Whisk charcoal into the juice until fully dispersed (prevents specks).
Add yogurt, berries, banana, pineapple, ice, and the charcoal juice to a blender.
Blend until glossy-smooth.
Taste and add honey if you want sweeter. Pour into a clear cup to flex the eclipse look.
Pro tips
For an even blacker finish without extra sweetness, add 1 tsp black cocoa powder along with charcoal.
If you want a thicker spoonable texture, swap half the juice for frozen pineapple.
No-charcoal option: Use 1–2 tsp black cocoa + ½ tsp ultra-dark food gel for color only.
