Winnie Harlow's Island Glow Smoothie (Erewhon Copycat)

This is the most visually ambitious Erewhon smoothie ever made and it's not particularly close. Three distinct layers. Baby blue on the bottom. Hot pink magenta dragon fruit in the middle. Bright golden-yellow mango on top. All in one cup. Looking like a tropical sunset got liquefied and poured into a clear plastic cup at a grocery store in Culver City. Winnie Harlow drew from her Jamaican roots for this one and the tropical flavor profile is excellent, but let's be honest, you're making this because you want three colors in a cup and you want them to stay separate long enough to photograph. The technique requires three separate blends and careful pouring, which makes this the most labor-intensive smoothie in the Erewhon lineup. It's a commitment. But it's also the most impressive thing you can pull out of a blender, and when it works, it looks like it should cost $22. Because it does. At Erewhon. We're making it at home for about seven bucks. Same three layers, same colors, same Caribbean energy. Just without the Erewhon receipt.

Instructions

1
Make the blue bottom layer first
In a small bowl, whisk the coconut cream and blue spirulina until the mixture is a vivid, smooth blue. Spoon this into the bottom of your cup and use the spoon to swirl it slightly up the sides. Put the cup in the fridge while you work on the blends. This layer is just coconut cream and color. No blending required.
2
Make the base blend
Add the frozen pineapple, coconut yogurt, coconut water, lemon juice, lime juice, collagen, honey, and sea moss gel to your blender. Blend until smooth. Pour this into a bowl and split it in half. You need this base for both the pink and yellow layers.
3
Blend the pink layer
Put half the base blend back in the blender with the frozen dragon fruit. Blend until smooth and hot pink. Pour into a separate bowl or measuring cup. Rinse the blender.
4
Blend the yellow layer
Put the other half of the base blend in the blender with the frozen mango. Blend until smooth and golden yellow. Keep this in the blender or pour into a cup.
5
Layer the smoothie
Pull your cup from the fridge. The blue cream should be set. Now pour the pink dragon fruit layer slowly over the back of a spoon into the cup. Fill about halfway. Then pour the yellow mango layer the same way on top of the pink. Go slow. The layers are different densities so they'll naturally resist mixing if you don't pour too aggressively. The pink and yellow will bleed slightly where they meet, which actually looks better than a hard line.
6
Top and serve immediately
Dollop coconut cream on top and sprinkle with dragon fruit powder. Take the photo within 60 seconds because gravity is not your friend here. The layers hold for about 3-5 minutes before they start migrating. Drink it and feel like you just completed a culinary challenge, because you kind of did.

Baker's Notes

This smoothie requires three separate blends and careful assembly. If that sounds like too much work for a smoothie, I understand. But the result is genuinely stunning. This is the one people will screenshot.
The base blend gets split in half and then each half gets a different fruit mixed in. This is how you get two different colored layers that taste cohesive. They share a foundation.
Blue spirulina in the bottom cream layer is what creates that baby blue color. Don't use green spirulina. You'll get swamp water instead of ocean water.
Pour the densest layer first (pink dragon fruit is usually thicker than mango). The density difference helps the layers stay separated.
Make all three components before you start assembling. Trying to blend and pour simultaneously is how you end up with brown slush and regret.

FAQ

Do the three layers actually stay separate?

For about 3-5 minutes, yes. After that they slowly start to migrate and eventually you'll have a pinkish-orange situation. The visual is temporary. The flavor is permanent. Photograph first, existential crisis about the fleeting nature of beauty later.

Can I just do two layers instead of three?

Absolutely. Skip the blue bottom and just do pink dragon fruit and yellow mango. That's still a beautiful two-tone smoothie and cuts your prep time significantly. The blue is the hardest layer to justify from a labor standpoint because it's just colored coconut cream sitting at the bottom.

This seems like a lot of work for a smoothie.

It is. This is not a Tuesday morning before-work smoothie. This is a Saturday afternoon, music playing, taking-your-time smoothie. But it's also the most impressive thing you can make in a blender, and it costs seven dollars instead of twenty-two. So the effort-to-savings ratio is actually pretty strong.
