Lori Harvey's Vanilla Matcha Smoothie (Erewhon Copycat)

Lori Harvey made a matcha smoothie and people lost their entire minds over it. It's olive green, streaked with white coconut cream, dusted with dark green chlorella powder on top, and looks like a matcha latte that got promoted to smoothie. The flavor is earthy, sweet, vanilla-forward, with the matcha providing that clean, sustained caffeine that doesn't make you feel like you swallowed a battery. It's also loaded with an absurd number of supplements: lion's mane for cognitive function, MCT oil for energy, collagen for skin, sea moss for minerals, and chlorella for... being green and healthy. Whether all of that does anything in a single smoothie dose is between you and your belief system, but the flavor is undeniably good regardless. This is the exact Erewhon recipe with the same chlorella-on-cream presentation technique. Same green-on-white marbled look, same vanilla matcha flavor. Make it at home, skip the $23 price tag, and use that money on the ceremonial grade matcha that actually matters for the flavor.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla oat milk
  • 2 teaspoons ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 1 tablespoon MCT oil
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon lion's mane mushroom powder (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon sea moss gel (optional)
  • 1 scoop vanilla collagen powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon tocos (rice bran solubles, optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or vanilla paste
  • 1 cup ice
  • FOR THE CUP:
  • 2 tablespoons coconut whipped cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon chlorella or Sun Chlorella powder (divided)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the cup with cream and chlorella

    Brush or spread coconut whipped cream on the inside walls of your cup. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of chlorella powder over the cream. The dark green powder on white cream creates those gorgeous green streaks visible through the clear cup. This is the signature look.

  2. 2

    Blend the matcha smoothie

    Add the oat milk, matcha, MCT oil, coconut cream, maple syrup, lion's mane, sea moss gel, collagen, tocos, and vanilla to your blender. Add the ice. Blend on high for 30 seconds until smooth and frothy. The color should be a soft olive-sage green. Ceremonial grade matcha will give you a better color and smoother flavor than culinary grade.

  3. 3

    Pour into the prepared cup

    Pour the matcha blend into the cup. The green smoothie against the cream-and-chlorella walls creates a marbled green and white effect that looks like something from a wellness catalog. It basically is something from a wellness catalog.

  4. 4

    Top and serve

    Add another dollop of coconut whipped cream on top. Dust the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of chlorella over the cream. The dark green powder on white cream on a green smoothie is three shades of green layered together and it photographs incredibly. Drink it and enjoy your clean caffeine and your 47 supplements.

Baker's Notes

  • Ceremonial grade matcha costs more but makes a significant flavor difference here. Culinary grade matcha is more bitter and less smooth. Since matcha is THE flavor in this smoothie, this is the one ingredient worth spending on.
  • Chlorella powder is intensely green and has a grassy, algae-ish taste on its own. In this smoothie it's just sprinkled on top of cream as a visual element, so you're not really tasting it. Don't stir it in.
  • MCT oil adds a subtle richness and is supposed to provide sustained energy. Coconut oil is a fine substitute if you don't have MCT oil.
  • Tocos are rice bran solubles, rich in vitamin E. They taste slightly nutty and creamy. If you don't have them, skip them. The smoothie won't suffer.

FAQ

Is this just a matcha latte in smoothie form?
Essentially, yes, but thicker, colder, and with about $80 worth of supplements blended in. The vanilla and matcha combination is the soul of this drink. Everything else is the wellness entourage.
Do I need all those supplements?
No. The matcha, oat milk, vanilla, maple syrup, coconut cream, and ice make a perfectly delicious matcha smoothie on their own. The lion's mane, sea moss, collagen, MCT oil, and tocos are all extras. Add what you have, skip what you don't. The flavor doesn't depend on any of them.
Why chlorella on top instead of matcha?
Chlorella is a darker, more vivid green than matcha, so it creates better contrast against the white coconut cream. Matcha powder on top works too if you don't have chlorella. Slightly different shade of green, same idea.
