Copycat Erewhon Malibu Mango Smoothie

This Copycat Erewhon Malibu Mango Smoothie is a creamy, dreamy treat that combines tropical mango and pineapple with luscious layers of coconut whipped topping and strawberry purée. It’s a plant-based, budget-friendly version of the $20 celebrity-inspired Erewhon smoothie.

Copycat Erewhon Malibu Mango Smoothie Recipe

I’m all about saving a dollar and when it comes to $20 dollar smoothies, I’m all about spending that money on making the smoothie at least 5 times! Without a doubt this Malibu Mango Smoothie is the trendiest smoothie out right now – honestly I didn’t even know that smoothies trend but here we are! This Erewhon smoothie is unreal delicious and outrageously priced and I for one am only going to try it once and then recreate it at home because thats wild! I decided to create a version that is a fraction of the cost, plant-based and may well be better than the original. 

My Copycat Erewhon Malibu Mango Smoothie has Lucious layers of the best vegan coconut whipped topping along with a strawberry puree glaze and the dreamiest, thick and a creamy mango smoothie base. This recipe tastes just as amazing as the original (if not better). Plus, making it at home means you can whip it up multiple times for the cost of one store-bought version. Save your wallet and make this smoothie your new go-to indulgence!

Copycat Erewhon Malibu Mango Smoothie Ingredients

Here’s a closer look at what makes this mango smoothie recipe so special. Here are the ingredients you’ll need to make this smoothie right at home:

  • Coconut water: Known for its natural electrolytes, coconut water hydrates while adding a light tropical flavor that doesn’t overpower the other ingredients. It’s the perfect liquid base to keep the smoothie refreshing and light.
  • Orange juice: This tangy citrus juice brings a burst of sweetness and brightness to the smoothie. Its natural acidity enhances the mango and pineapple flavors, making the drink taste even fresher.
  • Mango: The heart of this smoothie! Mango is naturally sweet and creamy, creating the perfect thick texture. Rich in vitamins A and C, it’s not only delicious but also nutritious, making it the star ingredient for a reason. Fresh or frozen will work but fresh will blend smoother.
  • Pineapple: Pineapple’s tropical zing balances the sweetness of the mango with a slight tartness. It’s also packed with bromelain, an enzyme that supports digestion, giving the smoothie a refreshing and healthy edge.
  • Maple syrup: This natural sweetener adds just the right amount of sweetness without overpowering the fruity flavors. It has a subtle caramel undertone that enhances the overall taste, making the smoothie feel indulgent.
  • Mushroom powder: Mushroom powder is packed with adaptogens and other nutrients that help support energy, focus, and overall wellness, making this smoothie as functional as it is delicious.
  • Banana: The ultimate smoothie thickener, banana adds creaminess and a mild sweetness that ties all the flavors together. It also boosts the nutritional content with potassium and fiber.

Layer Ingredients

  • Coconut whipped topping: This dairy-free alternative adds a creamy, indulgent layer that makes the smoothie feel like a treat. It’s also the key to creating the Instagram-worthy layers that make this drink so visually stunning.
  • Purée of strawberries: Blended strawberries provide a vibrant pop of color and a tangy, fruity drizzle that contrasts beautifully with the creamy mango layers. It’s the perfect garnish for taste and presentation.
  • Coconut flakes (optional): These add a fun crunch and extra tropical flair to the smoothie. They’re optional but highly recommended for a little texture and a finishing touch that ties everything together.

How to Make a Copycat Erewhon Malibu Mango Smoothie

This smoothie recipe is as simple as it is stunning:

Make the strawberry purée

Blend about 4 large strawberries with a touch of water until smooth. Set it aside in the fridge.

Blend the smoothie

Add the mango, pineapple, orange juice, coconut water, banana, maple syrup, and mushroom powder to a blender. Blend until silky smooth.

Layer the ingredients

In a serving glass, start with a generous dollop of coconut whipped topping, followed by a drizzle of strawberry purée. Fill the glass halfway with the mango smoothie, then repeat the layers.

Finish with toppings

Top the smoothie with extra whipped topping, strawberry purée, and optional coconut flakes. Serve and enjoy!

What to Serve with This Copycat Erewhon Malibu Mango Smoothie

This creamy mango smoothie pairs perfectly with a crunchy granola topping for added texture, a slice of avocado or almond butter toast to complement the fruity flavors, or a side of fresh fruit like berries, kiwi, or mango to enhance its tropical vibe.

Should You Use Fresh Mango or Frozen Mango?

Both work great; frozen mango chunks will create a thick, creamy and super chilled smoothie without needing extra ice cubes. If you’re using fresh mango, try and chill them first and ensure your other ingredients are cold so your smoothie is chill and refreshing.

How Many Mangoes to Make One Cup?

One medium-sized mango yields about 1 cup of diced fruit. For this recipe, you’ll need 1-2 medium mangoes, depending on their size, or use pre-cut frozen mango chunks for convenience.

Why You’ll Love This Copycat Erewhon Malibu Mango Smoothie

It’s cheaper!! Also if you don’t live in Los Angeles – it’s the only way you’ll ever try this drink. It’s so easy to make and filled with healthy, refreshing ingredients that when blended together taste like sunshine! It’s incredibly affordable—you can make it three times the price of one from Erewhon. It’s creamy and indulgent, with luscious layers of whipped topping and mango goodness that feel like a treat but it’s totally good for you!

Witches Brew Drink

This Witches Brew Smoothie is the ultimate Halloween drink, combining spooky fun with healthy ingredients. Made with spinach, frozen pineapple, bananas, and hemp seeds, it’s not only delicious but packed with nutrients. The activated charcoal spiderweb adds a fun, bewitching touch, making it a perfect drink for Halloween parties or family fun.

Witches Brew Drink: A Halloween Smoothie!

Double, double toil and trouble, let’s brew up something spooky! This fun, healthy, and delightfully bewitching Witches Brew Drink is sure to cast a spell on your taste buds! Don’t let the ghoulish green color fool you because this Halloween smoothie is packed with nutritious ingredients like greens, natural plant protein, and digestive benefits! If you’re looking for the ultimate show stopping drink for your next Halloween bash, want to spook someone you know or just want to give yourself a scare first thing in the morning – this is the drink for you! Topped with a wicked yogurt “spiderweb” and served in a cauldron bowl, this smoothie brings all the spooky vibes! Whether you’re throwing a party or just want to add a little Halloween magic to your day, this smoothie is a must-try. So grab your blenders and let’s stir up some healthy Halloween magic in the kitchen!

Witches Brew Smoothie Ingredients

  • Spinach: This powerhouse of nutrients adds vibrant green color to this Halloween smoothie. It’s loaded with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and fiber, making it a great way to sneak in greens. Despite its earthy flavor, spinach blends seamlessly with the sweetness of the fruits, so you’ll hardly taste it while getting all the health benefits.
  • Frozen Pineapple: Adds a sweet, tropical twist to the smoothie. Not only does it provide natural sweetness, but it’s also rich in vitamin C, which supports your immune system and helps brighten up the flavor profile. The frozen aspect helps thicken the smoothie, giving it a creamy, refreshing texture.
  • Frozen Bananas: No smoothie is complete without them! Bananas offer a creamy consistency and a natural sweetness that eliminates the need for added sugars. They’re also high in potassium, which is great for heart health and maintaining proper muscle function. 
  • Hemp Seeds: Hemp seeds are small but mighty! They’re packed with plant-based protein and healthy fats, making this smoothie more satisfying. Hemp seeds also provide a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for brain health and inflammation. They add a mild nutty flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
  • Oat Milk: Oat milk is a creamy, dairy-free alternative that makes this smoothie ultra-smooth and indulgent. It has a mild flavor that complements the other ingredients without overpowering them. Oat milk is also high in fiber and vitamins, including vitamin D and calcium, making it a nutritious choice for a plant-based smoothie.
  • Coconut Water: Coconut water is light and hydrating, packed with electrolytes that help keep you refreshed. It adds a subtle sweetness and tropical flavor to the smoothie while maintaining a low calorie and fat content. 
  • Lemon Zest: Lemon zest adds a zesty brightness that enhances the overall flavor of the smoothie. It cuts through the sweetness and provides a hint of citrus, making the smoothie feel light and refreshing.
  • Vegan Greek Yogurt: Vegan Greek yogurt not only adds creaminess to the smoothie, but it’s also the perfect base for the spooky spiderweb design. It offers a plant-based source of protein and probiotics, promoting gut health while keeping the smoothie thick and rich. The tangy flavor of Greek yogurt pairs perfectly with the sweet fruits, creating a balanced and tasty drink.
  • Activated Charcoal Powder: Activated charcoal is the secret to achieving that bold, black color in the spiderweb. It’s a natural detoxifier, known for its ability to bind to toxins and help flush them out of the body. While it’s mostly for the cool Halloween aesthetic, activated charcoal adds a little boost of health benefits to the smoothie.

How to Make This Witches Brew Smoothie

Prepare the Spiderweb

Mix 2 Tbsp of vegan Greek yogurt with 1/2 tsp of activated charcoal powder in a small bowl. The mixture should turn a rich black color. Place it into a piping bag or reusable sauce bottle with a fine-tip nozzle and set aside.

Blend the Smoothie

Add the spinach, frozen pineapple, frozen bananas, hemp seeds, oat milk, coconut water, and lemon zest into a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Pour the green smoothie into your cauldron bowl or bowl.

Create the Web

Using your black yogurt mixture, pipe a spiral starting from the center of the smoothie and moving outward. Then, take a toothpick and drag it from the center to the edge of the bowl to create a spiderweb effect. Add a Halloween-themed straw, and sip away!

Tips for Making the Spiderweb

Creating the perfect spiderweb design is easier than it looks! Here are some tips to make sure your Halloween smoothie is spooky perfection:

  • Piping technique: If you don’t have a piping bag, a reusable sauce bottle with a fine-tip nozzle works great. You can also use a small ziplock bag and cut off a tiny corner to pipe the spiderweb.
  • Chill the yogurt: Make sure your yogurt is chilled to help it hold its shape better when piping the web.
  • Toothpick tricks: After piping the spiral, use a toothpick to drag the lines from the center outward. This will give you that perfect spiderweb effect.
  • Use a cauldron bowl: For extra Halloween flair, serve the smoothie in a cauldron bowl. It adds a fun, spooky touch!

Why You’ll Love This Witches Brew Smoothie

There are so many reasons to love this Witches Brew Drink! It’s not just a fun and spooky Halloween drink, but it’s also healthy and nourishing. You can get anyone packing in their nutrients secretly with this drink instead of sugar loading! Plus, the spiderweb yogurt design is so fun to create and it’s super acceptable to play with your food!

Anti-Inflammatory Pineapple Ginger Smoothie

This anti-inflammatory Pineapple Ginger Smoothie is the perfect blend of sweet and spicy. Made with frozen pineapple, ripe mango, fresh ginger, lemon, turmeric, and coconut water, it’s a refreshing and nutritious drink that will leave you feeling revitalized. If you're new to anti-inflammatory foods this is a great introduction as its crave-worthy flavors will have you wanting to make this all the time! Easy to meal prep and even easier to make.

Pineapple Ginger Smoothie

Incorporating anti-inflammatory foods into your diet is essential for overall health and lucky for you it’s never been easier! With so much information on the internet these days it’s becoming easier and easier to find out what food supports your gut health and which ones don’t work for you. Inflammation can contribute to various health issues, but with the right foods, you can help combat these effects naturally. This Pineapple Ginger Smoothie is a great example of what does work! This vibrant, delicious smoothie is packed with superfoods, essential vitamins, and minerals that not only nourish your body but also make your taste buds do a happy dance. With the sweet tang of pineapple and the zing of fresh ginger, this smoothie is the perfect blend of flavor and health benefits. Let’s get blending and give our bodies the love they deserve!

Anti-Inflammatory Ginger Pineapple Smoothie Ingredients

  • Frozen Pineapple: Provides a sweet and tangy flavor, packed with vitamin C and manganese. These nutrients are essential for immune function and bone health, making pineapple a great base for this smoothie.
  • Fresh Ginger: Known for its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to aid digestion. Ginger can help reduce muscle soreness and lower blood sugar levels, making it a powerful addition to any smoothie.
  • Turmeric Powder: Contains curcumin, which has powerful anti-inflammatory effects. Turmeric not only adds a warm, earthy flavor but also helps to fight inflammation and may improve symptoms of arthritis and depression.
  • Coconut Water: Hydrating and full of electrolytes, perfect for a refreshing smoothie. Coconut water is low in calories and high in potassium, making it an excellent choice for rehydration and muscle function.
  • Fresh Lemon Zest and Juice: Adds a zesty kick and helps to enhance the flavors. Lemon is also rich in vitamin C and acts as a natural detoxifier, supporting your immune system and overall health.
  • Ripe Mango: Adds natural sweetness and a creamy texture, rich in vitamins A and C. Mango is also high in fiber, which aids in digestion and keeps you feeling full longer.

How to Make This Smoothie

Making this pineapple ginger smoothie is as easy as it gets. First, gather your frozen pineapple chunks, ripe mango, fresh ginger, lemon zest, lemon juice, turmeric powder, and coconut water. Add all the ingredients into a high-speed blender and blend until everything is smooth and well-combined.

For an extra touch, pour the smoothie into serving glasses and garnish with a slice of fresh pineapple. To make meal prep even easier, you can place all the pre-measured ingredients (except the coconut water) into a freezer bag. When you’re ready to make your smoothie, just add the contents of the bag and the coconut water to your blender and blend away!

How Much Ginger Should I Use in a Smoothie?

The amount of ginger you use in your smoothie depends on your personal taste. For this recipe, I recommend 2 tablespoons of fresh ginger. This amount provides a nice kick without being too overpowering. If you’re new to ginger or prefer a milder flavor, start with 1 tablespoon and adjust to your taste. Once you’re comfortable with ginger you can take shots of it first thing in the morning and actually enjoy the burn!! Baby steps 🙂

Pineapple and Ginger Benefits

  • Pineapple: Rich in vitamins, enzymes, and antioxidants, it helps boost your immune system, aids digestion, and reduces inflammation.
  • Ginger: Known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, ginger can help reduce muscle pain and soreness, improve digestion, and fight infections.

Tips & Tricks For The Best Pineapple Ginger Smoothie

  • Use Frozen Fruit: This ensures your smoothie is thick and cold without needing to add ice, which can dilute the flavors.
  • Balance the Flavors: Adjust the amount of ginger and lemon to suit your taste. Start with less and add more if needed.
  • Boost Your Smoothie: Add a smoothie booster like KRAVE PLUS, which includes chia seeds, flaxseeds, and dates, for extra nutrition.

Why This Pineapple Ginger Smoothie Is So Amazing

This Pineapple Ginger Smoothie is a delightful blend of flavors and health benefits. It’s naturally sweetened with some of the most delicious tropical fruits, dairy-free, and packed with anti-inflammatory ingredients that are good for your body. Whether you’re looking for a refreshing breakfast, a quick snack, or a post-workout drink, this smoothie is a perfect choice.

Strawberry Dream Protein Smoothie

Satisfy your sweet cravings with my Strawberry Dream Protein Smoothie. This high-protein delight combines nutrient-dense ingredients like oats, plant-based protein, natural strawberry powder, and creamy vegan yogurt. It's a quick, delicious, and nutritious breakfast or snack option, ready in just 5 minutes.

Mornings are magical moments where we can set the tone for the day ahead. It’s the time when we nourish our bodies and indulge in flavors that awaken our senses.

If you’re looking for a breakfast or snack that combines the irresistible allure of strawberries with the nourishing power of protein, you’re in for a treat. Welcome to my world of culinary delights— Strawberry Dream Protein Smoothie—a creation that transcends ordinary breakfasts and elevates your mornings to new heights.

When those sweet cravings hit, and I’m in search of something that’s both heavenly and wholesome, this delightful concoction is my go-to. It’s the epitome of a high-protein, nutrient-packed delight that not only tantalizes your taste buds but also nourishes your body from within. So, get ready to embark on a journey of flavors, textures, and wellness with each sip of this Strawberry Dream Protein Smoothie.

This dreamy Protein Smoothie has a few key ingredients:

  • Strawberry Powder: The star of the show, strawberry powder not only adds a burst of vibrant flavor but is also rich in essential vitamins and antioxidants. Strawberries are packed with vitamin C, which is known for its immune-boosting properties and ability to promote healthy skin. Additionally, they contain anthocyanins and quercetin, antioxidants that help combat inflammation and oxidative stress, contributing to overall well-being.

  • Oats: Oats are a nutritional powerhouse that provides sustained energy and a feeling of fullness. They are an excellent source of dietary fiber, which aids in digestion and keeps you satisfied throughout the morning. Oats are also loaded with essential minerals like manganese, phosphorus, and magnesium, which support bone health and muscle function.

  • Plant-Based Protein Powder: This protein powder, often derived from sources like peas, brown rice, or hemp, is an essential component for muscle maintenance and growth. It supplies your body with the amino acids necessary for repairing tissues and maintaining a healthy metabolism. Plant-based protein is often easier to digest and suitable for vegans or those with dairy allergies, making it a versatile choice for various dietary preferences.

Creamy, Dreamy, and Vegan

For that luscious creaminess, I turn to vegan green-style yogurt, offering a boost of calcium and iron. And to bring it all together, we rely on almond milk for that perfect, smooth consistency.

The Finishing Touch

I always add a touch of pizazz to my creations. In this case, it’s fresh, juicy strawberries that I delicately place inside the smoothie glass, creating a visual treat that’s as delightful to the eyes as it is to the taste buds.

So, there you have it—Claire Bear’s Strawberry Dream Protein Smoothie, a delicious and nutritious way to start your day or enjoy a satisfying snack. Indulge in the dreamy goodness and make your smoothie dreams a reality!
