Host Defense® Lion’s Mane Featured in Erewhon’s Deeper Wellness Smoothie by Kacey Musgraves
Host Defense® is honored to be featured in Erewhon Market’s latest collaboration with multi-award-winning singer-songwriter and musician Kacey Musgraves. As part of this partnership, Erewhon has introduced the Deeper Wellness Smoothie by Kacey Musgraves—a delicious blend that reflects the beauty of nature and the planet in both appearance and ingredients. Now available at Erewhon for a limited time. As for those who want to enjoy it from home, we’re sharing a simplified version of the recipe so you can recreate this enjoyably healthy treat.
The smoothie is packed with plenty of superfoods, bold flavors, and features Host Defense’s 100% certified organic Lion’s Mane Powder—an ingredient chosen for its role in supporting cognitive well-being. Best of all, it contributes to a meaningful cause at a time when support is needed most. With every Erewhon smoothie sold, proceeds will support Altadena Girls, an initiative providing relief to those affected by the Eaton Fire in California. Because they recognize that resilience–whether in wellness or rebuilding after hardship–starts with the right ingredients, a belief we at Host Defense share.*

Why Lion’s Mane? A Mushroom for Mind & Wellness*
At Host Defense, we are proud to be “The Smart Mushroom Experts,” founded by renowned mycologist Paul Stamets and dedicated to advancing the science and understanding of mushroom mycelium. We’ve used Lion’s Mane as the foundation to craft well-trusted brain-supporting formulas, including BrainPower Stack™ and MycoBotanicals® Brain & Body™* Powder.*
Lion’s Mane has long been valued for its ability to support cognitive function, focus, and mental clarity—aligning perfectly with the intention behind the Deeper Wellness Smoothie. More than just a delicious blend, it serves as a reminder of how mushrooms can benefit both body and mind.*
Beyond the cognitive benefits of Lion’s Mane, this smoothie also embodies an earth-inspired aesthetic. Its natural tones and thoughtfully sourced ingredients reflect the deeper connection between people, the planet, and nature’s power to support well-being.*
