Time & Serving:
Prep Time: 5-7 minutes (includes gathering ingredients and optional glaze prep)
Blend Time: 1-2 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 1 large smoothie
Ingredients:
For the Strawberry Smoothie Base:
▢ 1 cup frozen strawberries
▢ 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk, or your favorite plant-based milk (add more for desired consistency)
▢ 1/4 ripe avocado, for ultimate creaminess and healthy fats
▢ 2 Medjool dates, pitted (or 1 tablespoon maple syrup for sweetness)
▢ 1 tablespoon almond butter, smooth and unsweetened preferred
▢ 1 scoop vanilla collagen peptides (optional, for skin, hair, and nail benefits)
▢ 1 tablespoon sea moss gel (optional, packed with minerals – can be found online or specialty stores)
▢ 1/2 teaspoon hyaluronic acid powder/liquid (optional, food-grade, for skin hydration benefits)
▢ Pinch of fine sea salt (enhances all the flavors)
For the Coconut Cream & Strawberry Swirls (Iconic Erewhon Touches):
▢ 2 tablespoons thick coconut cream (from the top of a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk)
▢ 1-2 fresh strawberries, muddled or very finely diced
▢ 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup (optional, to sweeten the strawberry swirl)
Equipment:
▢ High-speed blender
▢ Serving glass (preferably clear to show off the swirls!)
▢ Small bowl and spoon (for mixing the strawberry swirl)
Instructions:
- Prepare Your Glass (The Erewhon Way): In a small bowl, gently mix your muddled/diced fresh strawberries with the optional 1/2 teaspoon of maple syrup. Spoon or drizzle about half of the coconut cream and half of the fresh strawberry mixture around the inside of your serving glass, creating pretty swirls. Set aside.
- Blend the Smoothie: To your high-speed blender, add the frozen strawberries, almond milk, avocado, pitted dates (or maple syrup), almond butter, collagen peptides (if using), sea moss gel (if using), hyaluronic acid (if using), and the pinch of sea salt.
- Achieve Perfection: Blend on high for 60-90 seconds, or until the mixture is completely smooth, creamy, and luscious. If it’s too thick for your liking, add another splash of almond milk and blend again.
- Taste and Adjust: Give your smoothie a quick taste. Need a little more sweetness? Add a touch more maple syrup or another date.
- Assemble Your Masterpiece: Carefully pour the blended smoothie into your prepared glass.
- Garnish and Glow: Top with the remaining coconut cream and a spoonful of the fresh strawberry swirl. Admire your beautiful creation for a moment, then sip and enjoy your delicious, skin-loving smoothie immediately!
Recipe Notes:
- Ingredient Spotlight: Sea moss gel and hyaluronic acid are staples in Erewhon’s wellness smoothies. Sea moss is lauded for its mineral content, and food-grade hyaluronic acid is thought to support skin hydration from within. If you can’t find them or prefer to omit, the smoothie will still be delicious!
- Collagen Power: Using vanilla collagen peptides not only adds a subtle sweet flavor but also provides protein and potential benefits for skin elasticity and joint health. Choose a brand you trust.
- Sweetness Your Way: The natural sweetness from strawberries and dates is often enough. Taste your smoothie before adding extra sweeteners. Maple syrup is a great liquid alternative if you don’t have dates.
- Creamy Dreamy Texture: Frozen strawberries are key for a thick, cold smoothie. The avocado is the secret to an incredibly creamy, almost milkshake-like texture without altering the strawberry flavor much. Don’t skip it if you want that luxurious feel!
- No Avocado? If you really can’t use avocado, you could substitute with 1/4 to 1/2 a frozen banana, but be aware this will change the flavor profile to include banana.
- Coconut Cream Tip: For the best coconut cream, refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk upside down for at least a few hours or overnight. The thick cream will separate to the (now) top, making it easy to scoop out, leaving the watery liquid behind.
- Make it Your Own: While this recipe aims to replicate the popular Erewhon version, feel free to adjust! Add a handful of spinach for extra greens (it won’t change the taste much but will alter the color), or a different berry if you’re feeling adventurous.
There you have it – your very own Hailey Bieber Erewhon-inspired Strawberry Glaze Smoothie, ready to make you feel radiant from the inside out. Whip this up whenever you need a little pick-me-up or want to treat yourself to something truly special. Enjoy your glow!
