Kourtney Kardashian Barker on Her Morning Routine and Lemme’s Latest Launch

Sleepy-eyed with mouth tape likely still stuck to me, I’ll make my morning commute from my bed to my kitchen first thing to make my coffee. I’m well aware that a cup of joe as my first liquid of the day probably isn’t the best (TikTok will say it’s giving me “cortisol face”), but it’s become a part of my morning routine, as it is for most people living on the planet. A healthy, more controlled way to ingest caffeine while still enjoying my favorite coffee feels impossible, but not if Kourtney Kardashian Barker can help it. The newest offering from her supplement line is inspired by your daily coffee, sans the jitters or lunchtime slump.

Kardashian Barker’s brand, Lemme, is all about easy and delicious supplements that really work. Its latest launch, Lemme Wake Up, modernizes a cup of coffee into its iconic gummy format, making it easier to get a quick pick-me-up wherever you are.

Read on for everything to know about the launch (including when it made its sneaky debut) and Kardashian Barker’s morning routine.

The Inspiration

Did you spot the custom Lemme bottles at Khloé’ Kardashian’s 40th birthday party? Kardashian Barker was secretly soft-launching Lemme Wake Up, testing it during the celebration before its official release. “We made custom Wake Up bottles for Khloe’s 40th birthday party and everyone was obsessed,” Kardashian Barker tells Byrdie. “I don’t think my sisters stayed up that late in years!”

While she’s a bonafide “matcha girl,” a coffee-infused energy booster felt like a natural next step for her brand. “So many of my friends love the taste and feeling of coffee,” she says. “That’s why we formulated these with coffee bean extract, which makes them taste like a yummy cappuccino while giving you a fast energy boost.”

The Formula

Lemme Wake Me Up has two main ingredients: caffeine and robusta coffee bean extract, which mimics that refreshed feeling after a hot cup of coffee. The brand recommends taking two vanilla-cappuccino-flavored gummies at a time, which equates to the same amount of caffeine in a coffee, about 80mg. One 34mg gummy is about as much caffeine as a standard cola, and three surpasses the typical energy drink at 120mg. In short, you’re bound to get an energy boost. The gummies claim to boost alertness, combat fatigue, and provide instant energy whether that’s first thing in the morning, ahead of a workout, or before a night out.

Like all of the Lemme gummies, they’re free of artificial sweeteners, high fructose corn syrup, and synthetic colors. They’re also vegan, gluten-free, and gelatin-free.

Kourtney’s Morning Routine

Kardashian Barker knows the importance of a morning routine, but you’d be hard-pressed to see it include a coffee (at least right now). Currently, hers starts with waking up by kissing and feeding her newborn, Rocky. “Travis wakes me up with hot water in a teacup (I don’t do caffeine while I’m breastfeeding). He has a matcha and we lay in bed for a few minutes with Rocky, usually waiting for him to wake up.” Of course, her A.M. wouldn’t be complete with a robust assortment of supplements which includes “Algae Cal, Megafood C, Megafood Complex B, Thorne D, Lemme Sea Moss, Thorne Iron, and Lemme Mama.”

Another wellness practice that kickstarts her day? “I’m a big walker and take Rocky at least once a day with me” she says.
