Erewhon is thrilled to announce two exciting new smoothie collaborations just in time for summer. From July through early August, you can enjoy Frankie & Djerf’s Banana Cream Shake and Mikuna’s Regenerada 2.0, both available at Erewhon locations. These smoothies not only offer a burst of delicious flavors but also pack a powerful nutritional punch. Plus, a portion of the proceeds from these smoothies will benefit worthy causes.
Frankie & Djerf’s Banana Cream Shake: A Dessert in Disguise
Fashion entrepreneurs Francesca Aiello and Matilda Djerf have crafted the Banana Cream Shake, available at Erewhon tonic bars for $18 through August 1st. This smoothie is a delightful surprise, offering the richness of a dessert while delivering health benefits typically associated with more earthy-tasting smoothies. Plus using MALK as the plant-based milk base keeps the smoothie free of gums, oils, and fillers as all MALK products contain only clean minimal ingredients
Ingredients:
- MALK organic unsweetened almond milk
- Zuma Valley coconut whip
- Agent Nateur Holi (mane) collagen
- NOVOS Core longevity formula
- Vanilla collagen, tocos
- Organic dates, banana, cinnamon, coconut flakes, maple syrup
- Erewhon scratch pie crust
When I tried this smoothie, it completely defied my expectations. Unlike the usual health smoothies that often taste earthy and chalky, the Banana Cream Shake was incredibly smooth and flavorful. The blend of almond milk and coconut whip created a creamy base, while the vanilla collagen and tocos added a rich, indulgent taste. The dates and maple syrup provided a natural sweetness, perfectly balanced by the hint of cinnamon. The pièce de résistance was the Erewhon scratch pie crust, which added a delightful crunch, making each sip a textural adventure. My partner, who sampled it as well, declared that it easily surpassed Hailey Bieber’s smoothie. Hailey, you’ve got some serious competition!
Mikuna’s Regenerada 2.0: A Nutrient-Rich Delight
Available throughout July, Mikuna’s Regenerada 2.0 smoothie is in partnership with Farmer’s Footprint and features Mikuna’s Chocho Superfood Protein. This plant-based protein is clean, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free, making it an excellent addition to any diet. Each serving provides 20 grams of protein, all nine essential amino acids, 25% of daily plant fiber, and a variety of vitamins and minerals. It’s suitable for gluten-free, keto, paleo, and vegan diets, making it a versatile option for health-conscious consumers.
Ingredients:
- Mikuna chocho superfood protein
- Acai
- Lucuma
- Dates
- Blueberry
- Banana
- Coconut cream
- Coconut water
- Sea salt
I visited Erewhon Pasadena on July 16th to meet Ricky Echanique of Mikuna and Zach Bush of Farmer’s Footprint and to try this smoothie. The Regenerada 2.0 was refreshingly delicious, with a texture that perfectly balanced the creaminess of the coconut and the slight tartness of the acai and blueberries. The chocho protein blended seamlessly, enhancing the drink without overpowering the other flavors. The coconut cream provided a luscious mouthfeel, while the blueberries and acai added a burst of fruity freshness. The lucuma and dates contributed a natural sweetness, and the sea salt rounded out the flavors, making each sip a perfectly balanced delight.
Join the Celebration
Erewhon’s latest smoothie offerings highlight the boutique grocery store’s dedication to crafting healthy beverages with both personality and care. These new smoothies showcase a balance of flavor and nutrition, proving that healthy choices don’t have to sacrifice taste. Frankie & Djerf’s Banana Cream Shake is a delightful mix of indulgence and health benefits, combining creamy and sweet elements in a way that feels like a treat. On the other hand, Mikuna’s Regenerada 2.0 is a refreshing, nutrient-packed option that supports sustainable agriculture, offering a satisfying and eco-friendly choice.
Initially, I was skeptical, thinking these celebrity and influencer-backed drinks were just another fad. However, after trying them myself, I was pleasantly surprised. The execution of flavors and the thoughtful presentation far exceeded my expectations, making these smoothies a must-try for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious and nutritious beverage.
