Tyla's Bliss Smoothie (Erewhon Copycat)
Tyla teased her new single at Coachella and then two days later dropped a smoothie at Erewhon, which is either the most efficient album rollout in history or the most LA thing that's ever happened. Possibly both. The Bliss is a tropical mango-pineapple blend with hibiscus tea adding a floral note and dragon fruit coconut cream swirled inside the cup for a pink-on-yellow tiger stripe effect. (Tiger stripe. Tygers. Her fandom name. This was designed by a marketing team that deserves a raise.) The flavor is sweet, tropical, and surprisingly floral from the hibiscus. It's basically a virgin pina colada that went to a flower shop. The dragon fruit cream inside the cup gives it that pink and yellow contrast that looks like a sunset and photographs like a dream. This is the exact recipe. Same hibiscus base, same tropical blend, same dragon fruit cream technique. Brew the hibiscus tea ahead of time and the rest takes 5 minutes.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup coconut water
- 1/2 cup brewed hibiscus tea (cooled)
- 1 cup frozen mango chunks
- 1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 scoop vanilla collagen powder (optional)
- 1 packet lemonade electrolyte mix (Ultima or similar, optional)
- FOR THE CUP:
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream (thick, chilled)
- 1 tablespoon dragon fruit (pitaya) puree or 1/2 teaspoon pitaya powder
Instructions
- 1
Brew the hibiscus tea ahead of time
Steep hibiscus tea bags or dried hibiscus flowers in hot water for 5-10 minutes. Let it cool completely. You can do this the night before and keep it in the fridge. You need it cold for the smoothie.

Make the dragon fruit cream
Mix the pitaya puree or powder into the coconut cream until it's a vibrant pink. Use a spoon to paint streaks of this pink cream on the inside walls of your cup. These are the tiger stripes that show through the yellow smoothie.

Blend the smoothie
Add the coconut milk, coconut water, cooled hibiscus tea, frozen mango, frozen pineapple, maple syrup, lemon juice, collagen, and electrolyte mix to your blender. Blend on high for 45 seconds until smooth and golden-yellow. The hibiscus adds a subtle floral note and a slight pink-ish hue to the yellow.

Pour and serve
Pour the yellow smoothie into the cup with the pink cream stripes. The golden blend against the pink stripes creates the tiger-stripe effect through the clear cup. Top with a little more coconut cream if you want. Drink it and be glad you didn't have to stand in the Erewhon line that reportedly wrapped around the building when this launched.
Baker's Notes
- Hibiscus tea is the ingredient that makes this different from every other mango-pineapple smoothie. It adds a tart, floral complexity that regular fruit smoothies don't have. Don't skip it.
- Brew the hibiscus strong. The flavor gets diluted by all the frozen fruit, so a weak brew will disappear entirely. Two tea bags in half a cup of water, steeped for 10 minutes.
- The dragon fruit cream stripes are doing the visual work. Without them, this is a yellow smoothie. With them, it's a two-tone statement piece. The effort is minimal and the payoff is significant.
- This is one of the sweeter Erewhon smoothies. The mango, pineapple, coconut, and maple are all bringing sugar. If you're sensitive to sweetness, cut the maple syrup in half.
