Sabrina Carpenter's Short N' Sweet Smoothie (Erewhon Copycat)

Sabrina Carpenter is headlining Coachella 2026 tonight and her Erewhon smoothie is still one of the best things to come out of her Short N' Sweet era. The smoothie is this muted, dusty steel-blue spirulina blend with thick white coconut cream streaks on the inside of the cup and sliced fresh strawberries piled on top like a garnish that decided to become the main character. The blue comes from spirulina, which is algae, which sounds disgusting, but you can't taste it at all because the mango and pineapple completely overpower it. The color is the entire point of the spirulina being there. Whether you're watching her Coachella set from the desert or from your couch, you might as well be drinking what she's selling. This is the exact Erewhon recipe. Same ingredients, same blue, same cream-wall technique, same strawberry crown on top. The whole thing takes about 8 minutes and costs you maybe five dollars. Erewhon charges $21 for it, which is a bold number for a smoothie named after a pop album, but here we are. Make it at home, save sixteen dollars, spend that on literally anything else.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup vanilla oat milk (MALK or any brand)
  • 1/2 cup coconut water
  • 1 cup frozen mango chunks
  • 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 2 pitted Medjool dates
  • 1 scoop vanilla collagen powder
  • 1 teaspoon blue spirulina powder (KOS or similar)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • FOR THE CUP:
  • 3 tablespoons coconut cream (chilled, thick)
  • FOR THE TOP:
  • 4-5 fresh strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    Streak the cup with coconut cream

    Take your thick chilled coconut cream and paint it on the inside walls of your cup in thick, uneven streaks. Use a spoon or a squeeze bottle. You want visible white patches against the clear cup that the blue smoothie will contrast against. Freeze the cup for 5 minutes while you blend.

  2. 2

    Blend the blue

    Add the oat milk, coconut water, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, dates, collagen, blue spirulina, and honey to your blender. Blend on high for 45 seconds until smooth. The color should be a muted steel-blue, not bright neon blue. If it's too vivid, you used too much spirulina. If it's barely blue, add another 1/4 teaspoon. You're going for moody overcast sky, not sports drink.

  3. 3

    Pour and top with strawberries

    Pull the cup from the freezer and pour the blue blend in slowly. The coconut cream on the walls will peek through the blue, creating that signature contrast. Then pile the sliced fresh strawberries on top. Be generous. The red against the blue is the whole visual.

  4. 4

    Serve immediately

    Drink it before the cream melts into the blend and the strawberries start sinking. First 3 minutes is the money window for photos.

Baker's Notes

  • Blue spirulina is different from green spirulina. You want the blue powder specifically, which is extracted from the blue pigment in spirulina (phycocyanin). Green spirulina will turn your smoothie swamp-colored. Not the vibe.
  • A little spirulina goes a long way. Start with 1/2 teaspoon and add more if the color isn't deep enough. Too much and it starts to taste like pond water, which is technically what it is.
  • The strawberry topping needs to be fresh, not frozen. Frozen strawberries on top will be mushy and sad. Fresh ones hold their shape and the red pops against the blue. Non-negotiable.
  • If you can find Agent Nateur holi(mane) collagen, that's what Erewhon uses. It's $99 for a jar though, so regular vanilla collagen is the move unless you hate money.

FAQ

Will I taste the spirulina?
No. The mango and pineapple completely bury it. Spirulina is here for the color and the micronutrients, not the flavor. It's like a backup dancer. Essential to the production, not the one singing.
Why is my smoothie bright blue instead of muted steel-blue?
Too much spirulina or your oat milk is too white. The real Erewhon version is a dusty, almost grayish blue. Cut back on the spirulina slightly or add a few frozen blueberries to mute the brightness.
Can I use regular milk instead of oat milk?
You can use whatever milk you want. Oat milk gives it a slightly creamy, slightly sweet base that works well with the tropical fruit. Almond milk makes it a bit thinner. Dairy milk works but changes the vibe from "wellness influencer" to "person who puts fruit in milk" and those are different genres.
