Our version of the viral Erewhon smoothie (at a fraction of the cost!)

The look and flavors of this smoothie is inspired by the viral Hailey Bieber smoothie from Erewhon market which is priced at around $20 per cup. This version costs a fraction of that and has the addition of 100% pomegranate juice which offers antioxidant goodness as well as natural sweetness. We also skipped the avocado, sea moss, and hyaluronic acid, focusing instead on simple, wholesome ingredients that you can easily find and enjoy.

Why You’ll Love This Smoothie

This smoothie is not only tasty but also incredibly nourishing. The frozen strawberries and pomegranate juice provide tons of nutrients, while the banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess. Greek yogurt and dates give it a creamy texture and a slight tang, making this a real treat.

Simple ingredients

For the Smoothie:

• Frozen strawberries
• Frozen banana
• Pomegranate juice
• Greek yogurt
• Milk (any dairy or plant-based milk)
• Dates, pitted
• Unflavored collagen or protein powder (optional)

For decorating the glass

• Greek yogurt
• Strawberry jam

How to make the smoothie

Blend the ingredients: Add the frozen strawberries, frozen banana, pomegranate juice, Greek yogurt, milk, dates, and protein powder (if using) to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Prepare the Glass: Paint the inner sides of your glass or cup with a little Greek yogurt and strawberry jam to create a fun, layered effect. This is to mimic the the contrast and layers found in Erewhon smoothies and makes this drink feel extra special.

Serve: Pour the smoothie into the prepared glass, and enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Smoothie

• Fruit Selection: Feel free to switch up the berries based on what you have on hand. Raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries would all work well in this smoothie.
• Frozen Fruit: Using frozen fruit helps to create a thick, creamy smoothie without the need for ice, which can dilute the flavor.
• Sweetness: The dates add natural sweetness, but you can adjust the number of dates or even omit them if you prefer a less sweet smoothie.

Customize to your preference

• Add-ins: If you’re looking for an extra boost, consider adding a handful of spinach or a spoonful of chia seeds for added nutrition.
• Flavor Twists: Swap out the strawberry jam for a different flavor, like raspberry or blueberry, to change up the taste.
• Use coconut cream: You can opt to use coconut cream which is what is used in the original Hailey Beiber smoothie from Erewhon in place of the Greek yogurt for a subtle coconut flavor.
