Gwyneth Paltrow’s $200 a day smoothie is the most pompous thing ever

If you’ve ever wondered why people hate Gwyneth Paltrow so much, her $200 smoothie is a nice intro. 

Over the course of her career, there has been a mean stigma attached to Gwyneth Paltrow that people don’t seem to understand until they have an ‘ah-ha’ moment about her off-screen persona. While she’s a fantastic actress, there is an aura of elitism that floats around her at all times, and it shines through on occasion to either introduce us to or remind us of the fact that we probably wouldn’t like her if she lived on our block.

Paltrow posted her recipe for a daily morning smoothie — which is great except for the fact that the total price of the ingredients amounts to over $200.

Seriously, it’s the most pompous thing you could possibly consume and humbly assume everyone can afford.

It’s $190 for all of the weird as hipster powders she wants you to put into your smoother — and that’s not factoring in the cost of the almond milk, almond butter or coconut oil.

Just look at some of this stuff:

What the actual hell is that word? This is the type of ingredient that Donald Trump supporters will easily mistake for Voodoo powder or something.

First off, let’s all go full Butt-Head and giggle at the fact that Gwyneth Paltrow is advocating the consumption of a product called ‘Sex Dust’. But the laughter dies a pretty violent death when you consider that two-ounces of this stuff will run you the price of a video game.

I mean, this stuff just can’t be real. We’re just making names up at this point. Also, let’s once again highlight the fact that this is another sexually loaded product that we’re putting in our smoothies — because that’s totally how we want to arrive at work: horny and broke.

It’s hard to determine what the wort part about this is. There’s the fact that this stuff is not only outrageous in concept but outlandish in price, but let’s to glaze over the fact that Gwyneth casually assumes this is how everyone lives. Paltrow is well within her sanity to post about a $200 smoothie she consumes every morning — which is an annual cost of $73,000. But it’s a bit condescending to be so casual about making this smoothie as to basically say what do you mean you don’t add Ashwagandha into your drinks?

Really, Gwyneth? This makes her seem like everything Skyler White wanted to become once she found out her meth cooking husband was a millionaire but held off because she’s not that insane.

I’m just going to leave that there.
