If you have scrolled through TikTok or Instagram lately, you have likely seen them: the aesthetically pleasing, vibrant, and famously expensive smoothies from Erewhon Market.

From Hailey Bieber to Kourtney Kardashian, everyone seems to have a signature blend.

Why Are These Smoothies So Popular?
Before we dive into the recipes, it helps to understand why these drinks have taken over the internet. It usually comes down to three factors: aesthetics, exclusivity, and “functional” ingredients.
Erewhon smoothies are visually stunning. They often feature distinct swirls of coconut cream, fruit purees, or blue spirulina that make them instantly shareable on social media.
Health benefits
Beyond the look, they are packed with functional ingredients,supplements like collagen, sea moss, maca, and tocotrienols that promise health benefits ranging from glowing skin to reduced inflammation.
However, you don’t need a degree in nutrition to understand the appeal.
They taste amazing. The recipes below capture that delicious flavor profile and visual appeal using ingredients you can find at your local supermarket or health food store.
The Viral Star: Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie
This is arguably the smoothie that started the global craze. Originally a collaboration with Hailey Bieber, this pink drink is marketed as a “skin glaze” in a cup.
It tastes like a strawberry milkshake but is packed with skin-loving ingredients.
The Flavor Profile
Think strawberries and cream, but elevated. It is sweet, creamy, and undeniably nostalgic. The key to the texture is the “glaze,” usually made from coconut cream or a thick coconut yogurt.
Ingredients
The Base
1 cup frozen strawberries, 1/4 cup avocado (for creaminess), 2 pitted Medjool dates, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk.
The Boosters
1 scoop of collagen peptides (vanilla or unflavored), 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Some variations include sea moss gel, but that is optional.
The Glaze
2 tbsp thick coconut yogurt or coconut cream, 1 tsp maple syrup (optional).
The Strawberry Sauce
1/2 cup fresh strawberries mashed into a puree.
Instructions
Prep the Glaze
In the bottom of your glass, spoon in the coconut yogurt. Use the back of the spoon to smear it up the sides of the glass.
Add the Sauce
Spoon the fresh strawberry puree into the bottom of the glass, letting it mix slightly with the coconut yogurt.
Blend
Combine the frozen strawberries, avocado, dates, almond milk, collagen, and vanilla in a high-speed blender. Blend until completely smooth and thick.
Pour
Pour the pink mixture into your prepared glass.
Top it off
For the full experience, top with a sprinkle of crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
The Immunity Booster: Turmeric Crush
If you are feeling a cold coming on, or just need a vibrant pick-me-up, the Turmeric Crush is the way to go.
This smoothie is like sunshine in a glass, featuring bright orange hues and a kick of spice. It’s significantly zestier than the creamy strawberry glaze.
The Flavor Profile
This one is zesty, tropical, and refreshing. The sweetness of mango and pineapple balances the earthy spice of turmeric and ginger.
Ingredients
The Base
3/4 cup frozen pineapple chunks, 3/4 cup frozen mango chunks, 1/2 a frozen banana.
The Liquids
1/4 cup fresh carrot juice, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, squeeze of lemon.
The Spice
1 tsp ground turmeric (or fresh turmeric root), 1 small knob of fresh ginger (peeled).
The Aesthetic Twist
2 tbsp beet juice (for the swirl).
Instructions
Blend the Base
Add the pineapple, mango, banana, carrot juice, orange juice, lemon, ginger, and turmeric to your blender.
Check Consistency
This one should be frosty and thick. If it’s too thick to blend, add a splash more orange juice.
The Swirl
Pour the beet juice into the bottom of your serving glass and swirl it around the edges. The deep red beet juice contrasts beautifully with the bright orange smoothie, creating a sunset effect.
Serve
Pour the orange mixture over the beet juice and watch the colors marble together.
The Post-Workout Fuel: The Green Goddess
For those who want pure nourishment after a gym session, the Green Goddess style smoothie is a staple.
Unlike many green smoothies that taste like grass, this one is rich, nutty, and satisfying thanks to healthy fats and proteins.
The Flavor Profile
Creamy, nutty, and vanilla-forward. You barely taste the greens because the almond butter and banana take center stage.
Ingredients
The Base
1 cup frozen spinach or kale, 1 frozen banana, 1/2 avocado.
The Protein & Fat
1 tbsp almond butter (raw is best), 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (plant-based works well here).
The Superfoods
1 tbsp hemp seeds, 1 tsp spirulina (optional, for extra green color).
The Liquid
1 cup coconut water (for electrolytes) or oat milk.
Instructions
Layering
Place your liquid in the blender first, followed by the soft ingredients (spinach, avocado, nut butter), and finally the frozen items (banana). This helps the blender run smoothly.
Blend
Blitz on high until the greens are completely pulverized. You don’t want leafy chunks in a luxury smoothie copycat!
Texture Check
If you want it thicker (like soft serve), add a few ice cubes.
Serve
Pour into a tall glass. For an extra touch, drizzle a little extra almond butter on top.
How to Get the “Erewhon Look”
Half the fun of these recipes is the presentation. If you simply blend everything and pour it into a mug, it will taste the same, but it won’t feel the same.
Here is how to nail the aesthetic:
Glassware
Use a tall, clear aesthetic glass. Mason jars are okay, but a straight-walled highball glass looks more authentic.
The Smear
This is crucial. Before pouring your smoothie, take a spoon and smear an ingredient on the inside walls of the glass. For fruit smoothies, use yogurt or fruit puree.
For green smoothies, use almond butter.
The Layers
Don’t just dump the liquid in. Pour slowly to preserve the smears you created.
Toppings
Texture matters. Crushed nuts, bee pollen, granola, or freeze-dried fruit on top adds a professional finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I really need all the superfood powders?
Not necessarily. While ingredients like lucuma, maca, and sea moss are staples at Erewhon, they are expensive to stock at home. You can omit them without ruining the flavor.
The core flavor comes from the fruits, liquids, and creamy elements like avocado or nut butter. Start with the basics and add supplements if you wish.
My smoothie is too runny. How do I fix it?
Erewhon smoothies are known for being thick, almost like soft-serve ice cream. The secret is using frozen fruit. Never use fresh fruit with ice cubes, as this creates a watery, icy texture.
Freeze your bananas, mangoes, and berries beforehand. If it is still runny, add more frozen avocado or banana.
Is the “glaze” just for looks?
Mostly, but it also adds texture. The coconut cream or yogurt swirl provides a rich, fatty mouthfeel that contrasts with the icy fruit blend, making the drink feel more substantial and dessert-like.
