Coconut Cloud Smoothie (Erewhon Copy)

A copycat of the viral Erewhon coconut cloud smoothie, this dreamy fruit smoothie is made with avocado, banana, pineapple, and coconut yogurt. I've skipped the stevia, using a little maple syrup instead, omitted the collagen, plus added a touch of vanilla for a bit more flavour. The smoothie was made in conjunction with Marianna Hewitt.

Ingredients

Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

• Fruit: you'll need frozen banana, pineapple, and avocado. I think mango could be a good sub for pineapple. The avocado and banana are a bit part of what make the smoothie creamy so don't omit them.
• Almond butter: sub another nut or seed butter if preferred, but try to stick to something pretty neutral (not peanut butter).
• Maple syrup: use your preferred liquid sweetener.
• Yogurt: I like Greek-style coconut yogurt for this recipe but you could use another vegan yogurt type if you don't like coconut.
• Blue Majik: this is a blue spirulina and it doesn't contain any artificial colouring – it's naturally bright blue – but you could use green spirulina for a more rolling green hills kind of smoothie.

Step by Step

Step 1: add the ingredients to a blender.

Step 2: mix on high speed until very smooth.

Step 3: paint some yogurt onto a glass and sprinkle with spirulina.

Step 4: fill the glass with the smoothie and watch clouds appear!

Top Tips

• Order it online: blue majik might be hard to find locally, but it can be bought online. I like the E3Live brand.
• Use frozen fruit: if the fruit isn't frozen, the smoothie will be too thin and missing that thick, fluffy texture.
• Skip it if you don't like spirulina: it's an acquired taste and not everyone likes the algae flavour of it. I don't find that it's very strong here, with the pineapple especially, but if you despise spirulina, you probably won't like this smoothie.
