Editor’s Note
When the Hailey Bieber Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie went viral at Erewhon Market, I knew I had to try it. But spending almost $20 on a single drink every day just is not practical. I spent weeks analyzing the exact ingredient list, testing different ratios, and perfecting the aesthetic “cloud” look in the glass. This recipe delivers the exact same glowing-skin benefits, luxurious texture, and sweet strawberry taste for just a fraction of the cost.
People line up for hours and pay nearly $19 just to get a taste of this skin-boosting beverage. But what if you could recreate that exact same luxury experience right in your own kitchen?
The good news is that making this viral drink is surprisingly easy. You do not need to live near an Erewhon grocery store to enjoy it. In this comprehensive guide, we will break down exactly how to make the ultimate Erewhon Strawberry Glaze Smoothie copycat. It is packed with skin-loving ingredients, looks beautiful, and tastes like a rich, fruity dessert.
Why is the Erewhon Strawberry Glaze Smoothie So Popular?
Before we dive into the recipe, it helps to understand why this drink broke the internet. This smoothie is not just about the taste; it is heavily marketed as a “skincare smoothie.”
It contains premium ingredients like sea moss, hyaluronic acid, and collagen, which are highly praised for promoting glowing skin, healthy hair, and strong nails. Furthermore, the visual appeal of the drink with its vibrant strawberry glaze and fluffy coconut cream clouds makes it incredibly photogenic.
Why You Will Love This Homemade Version
Massive Cost Savings: Buying all the ingredients in bulk will cost you less per smoothie than a standard coffee shop drink. You save thousands of dollars a year compared to buying it daily at the store.
Customizable Sweetness: Commercial smoothies often hide a lot of sugar. By making it at home, you control exactly how much sweetness goes into your cup.
No Fancy Additives Required: If you do not have expensive hyaluronic acid drops, you can easily skip them. The core flavor and texture will remain identical.

Ingredients You Need for the Hailey Bieber Smoothie
To get that authentic Erewhon taste and look, we need to break the ingredients down into three parts: The Glaze, The Cream, and The Smoothie Base.
1. The Strawberry Glaze (For the aesthetic drips)
- 1/2 cup fresh or frozen strawberries
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or agave nectar
- A splash of lemon juice
2. The Coconut Clouds (For the white aesthetic look)
- 3 tablespoons thick coconut cream (Scoop this from the top of a chilled can of full-fat coconut milk)
3. The Smoothie Base
- 1 cup frozen organic strawberries (frozen is crucial for a thick texture)
- 1/4 cup avocado (frozen or fresh; this adds creaminess without changing the taste)
- 1/2 cup almond milk (or your preferred dairy-free milk)
- 2 dates (pitted, for natural caramel-like sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon sea moss gel (optional, but authentic to the original recipe)
- 1 scoop of vanilla collagen powder or vanilla protein powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup (adjust to your taste)
Step-by-Step Instructions (How to Make It)
Creating this drink is an art form. Follow these easy steps to get the perfect layers.
Step 1: Prepare the Strawberry Glaze
In a small saucepan, combine your strawberries, maple syrup, and lemon juice. Cook over medium-low heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, mashing the strawberries with a fork until they break down into a thick, jam-like glaze. Remove from heat and let it cool completely. (You can also just aggressively mash fresh strawberries with syrup if you want a raw version).
Step 2: Decorate Your Glass
This is the most important step for the aesthetic look! Take a tall, clear drinking glass. Use a spoon to heavily drizzle your cooled strawberry glaze along the inside walls of the glass. Next, take your thick coconut cream and use a small spoon to smear “clouds” against the inside of the glass. Set the glass in the fridge while you blend the smoothie so the design sets.
Step 3: Blend the Smoothie Base
In a high-powered blender, add the frozen strawberries, avocado, pitted dates, almond milk, collagen powder, sea moss gel, and maple syrup. Blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds.
Step 4: Check the Texture
The mixture should be incredibly thick and creamy. If it is too thick to blend, add a tiny splash of almond milk. Do not add too much liquid, or you will lose that rich, milkshake-like texture.
Step 5: Pour and Serve
Take your decorated glass out of the fridge. Carefully pour the thick pink smoothie into the glass. The heavy smoothie will push against the glaze and coconut cream, creating a beautiful marbled effect. Serve immediately with a glass straw and enjoy your luxurious, skin-boosting drink!
Trending Variations & Substitutions
Not everyone has sea moss or collagen lying around. Here are some highly searched substitutions that keep the drink delicious:
Vegan Option: The base is already vegan! Just swap the collagen powder for a plant-based vanilla protein powder.
Avocado Substitute: If you hate avocado, you can use half of a frozen banana. However, the banana will slightly change the flavor profile, whereas avocado remains completely tasteless and just adds creaminess.
Nut-Free Option: Swap the almond milk for oat milk or standard coconut milk.

FAQs
Does the smoothie actually taste like avocado?
Not at all! The avocado is completely masked by the strong flavors of the strawberries, dates, and vanilla collagen. It is only included to give the smoothie a rich, creamy, and thick texture.
Where can I buy sea moss gel?
Sea moss gel has become very popular and can be found at local health food stores, Whole Foods, or ordered easily online through Amazon. If you cannot find it, you can simply omit it from the recipe.
How do I get the coconut cream so thick?
The trick is to buy a can of full-fat coconut milk and leave it in the refrigerator overnight. The heavy cream will separate from the water and harden at the top. Scoop out only the hard, thick white cream to use for your glass clouds.
Can I make the strawberry glaze ahead of time?
Yes! You can make a larger batch of the strawberry glaze and keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. This makes your morning smoothie routine much faster.
Why is my smoothie too watery?
For a thick smoothie, you must use frozen strawberries and frozen avocado. Using fresh room-temperature fruit will result in a watery juice rather than a creamy smoothie. Limit your almond milk to just 1/2 cup.
