Sofia Richie Grainge's Sweet Cherry Smoothie (Erewhon Copycat)

Sofia Richie Grainge made a smoothie that tastes like a more sophisticated version of Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia and honestly that's all you need to know. The Sweet Cherry is deep, dark, tart, creamy, and has this beautiful pink cloud design at the bottom of the cup made from coconut cream and pitaya powder. The cherry juice and frozen cherries carry the flavor, the pineapple and avocado add body and a subtle tropical smoothness, and the whole thing comes together in about 8 minutes. It originally had Cowboy Colostrum in it, which is bovine colostrum that costs roughly as much per ounce as a decent steak. We're subbing vanilla protein powder because colostrum is a whole lifestyle commitment that this smoothie doesn't require. This is the exact Erewhon recipe with the same pitaya cloud technique in the bottom of the cup. Same dark cherry flavor, same visual. Make it at home, skip the colostrum discourse, save twenty-one dollars.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup tart cherry juice
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 cup frozen dark sweet cherries
  • 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1/2 ripe avocado
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (sub for Cowboy Colostrum)
  • 1 teaspoon magnesium powder (Natural Vitality Calm, optional)
  • FOR THE CUP:
  • 2 tablespoons coconut cream (thick, chilled)
  • 1/2 teaspoon pitaya powder (pink dragon fruit powder)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Create the pitaya cloud base

    Spoon the coconut cream into the bottom of your cup. Sprinkle the pitaya powder on top and use a toothpick or spoon to gently swirl them together. You're going for a pink and white marbled cloud effect, not a uniform pink. A few swirls and stop. This sits at the bottom and shows through the clear cup.

  2. 2

    Blend the cherry smoothie

    Add the cherry juice, almond milk, frozen cherries, frozen pineapple, avocado, maple syrup, protein powder, and magnesium powder to your blender. Blend on high for 45 seconds until completely smooth. The color should be a deep, dark cherry red. The pineapple won't change the color much but it smooths out the tartness.

  3. 3

    Pour over the cloud

    Pour the cherry smoothie slowly into the cup over the pitaya cloud base. The dark red sits on top of the pink cloud, and the contrast is visible through the cup. Go slow enough that you don't blast through the cloud layer.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Drink it. The first few sips are the tart cherry hitting you, then the pineapple and avocado smooth everything out. The magnesium powder is in there because the original recipe includes Natural Vitality Calm, which is a magnesium supplement marketed for relaxation. Whether one smoothie dose does anything is between you and your nervous system.

Baker's Notes

  • Use TART cherry juice, not sweet cherry juice or cherry cocktail. Tart cherry juice has a specific sharp, almost sour bite that defines this smoothie. Sweet cherry juice makes it taste like cough syrup. R.W. Knudsen or Lakewood are good brands.
  • The avocado is here for creaminess. You won't taste it. It turns the smoothie from watery to milkshakey without adding any dairy.
  • Pitaya powder (pink dragon fruit powder) is in the smoothie section or supplement aisle of most health food stores. It's purely for the pink cloud visual. You can skip it and just use plain coconut cream in the bottom.
  • If you're making this at night, the magnesium and tart cherry juice combo is actually legit for sleep. Tart cherry is a natural melatonin source and magnesium promotes relaxation. So this is technically a bedtime smoothie in disguise.

FAQ

What's Cowboy Colostrum and do I need it?
It's bovine colostrum, which is the first milk a cow produces after giving birth. It's marketed as an immune and gut health supplement. It's also about $50 a jar. Vanilla protein powder gets you the same flavor contribution for a fraction of the cost. The colostrum is doing supplement things, not flavor things.
Can I use fresh cherries instead of frozen?
You can but you'll need to add ice to get the right thickness, and pitting fresh cherries is one of those tasks that makes you question every decision that led you to this moment. Frozen cherries are already pitted, already cold, and work better.
Why pineapple in a cherry smoothie?
It smooths out the tartness and adds body without making it taste like pineapple. Think of it as the mediator between the aggressive tart cherry and the sweet maple syrup. You won't identify it as pineapple in the final blend, but you'd notice if it was missing.
