This animal-based smoothie recipe is a “close-to-copycat” for the Paul Saladino x Erewhon collab.
What you need to make an Animal-Based Smoothie
Note: since I do not live in LA, I was not able to try the original smoothie. While I do have the ingredient list provided by Erewhon, I had to guess when it came to ingredient amounts. After some quick online searches, I found a few clues that helped me out (like Paul talking about the whipped coconut cream having maple in it in this video). Seeing a visual of the smoothie layers in photos online helped too. I also worked with a follower via Instagram who had tried the smoothie a few times and got her opinion on what she thought the layers were. All of this led me to this “close to copycat” recipe, as I call it. It’s likely not exact, but probably close, and is very tasty!
Ingredients (*see below note under “Substitutions”):
- Coconut cream
- Raw kefir (or raw milk, that’s what I used)
- Frozen banana
- Frozen blueberries
- Lucuma
- Heart & Soil Beef Organs (ASH10 for 10 % off – or desiccated organs of your choice)
- Heart & Soil Immunomilk (ASH10 for 10% off – or desiccated organs of your choice)
- Raw honey
- Maple syrup
- Sea salt(ASHLEYRfor 15% off)
Equipment:
- Mixing bowl
- Hand mixer
- Blender
- 24 oz mason jar (or similarly sized glass)
(for the full recipe, scroll to the bottom)
Substitutions
*If you want to make the recipe exactly as Erewhon does, you will need to use Zuma Valley coconut cream, Raw Farm kefir, Heart & Soil Beef Organs (ASH10 for 10 % off), and Heart & Soil Immunomilk (ASH10 for 10% off).
I didn’t have all of these things on hand, so I used a different brand of coconut cream, raw milk instead of raw kefir, and Heart & Soil Warrior (desiccated heart & liver) instead of Beef Organs and Immunomilk.
How to make an Animal-Based Smoothie
If a visual will help, watch the Instagram Reel for this recipe.
Prep work:
The day before you plan to make the smoothie, place your can of coconut cream, mixing bowl, hand mixer tongs, and mason jar (or whatever glass you plan to serve the smoothie in) in the refrigerator to cool.
At the same time, chop your banana and place the pieces in the freezer.
Note: do not shake the coconut cream can at any point moving forward.
Make the whipped coconut cream.
Open your can of coconut cream and scoop out the firm part of the cream.
Note: you can save the liquid for later (to be used in smoothies, or for something else) or it can be discarded.
In your mixing bowl, add the coconut cream, maple syrup, and a few dashes of sea salt (ASHLEYR for 15% off).
With your hand mixer, whip the mixture until soft peaks form, about 4-5 minutes.
Once done, place it in the fridge until use.
Make the body of the smoothie.
In your blender, add the frozen blueberries, frozen banana, raw kefir (or raw milk), lucuma, maple syrup, Beef Organs (ASH10 for 10% off), and Immunomilk (ASH10 for 10% off), and blend well until a smooth consistency is reached.
Note: I didn’t have Heart & Soil Beef Organs (ASH10 for 10 % off) and Heart & Soil Immunomilk (ASH10 for 10% off) on hand, so I used two capsules of Heart & Soil Warrior (desiccated heart & liver) instead. I am not sure how many capsules Erewhon uses per smoothie (which is why I wrote 1+ in the ingredient section). I suggest using however many capsules you prefer to take in one sitting.
Put it all together.
Note: I was told the Erewhon smoothie is 20 oz, so I used a 24 oz mason jar. I ended up filling mine up all the way.
In your chilled mason jar, add the following in the order listed: whipped coconut cream (about 4-5 spoonfuls), a generous drizzle of raw honey, the banana-blueberry mixture (until the glass is about 80% full), another 4-5 spoonfuls of whipped coconut cream, and a final drizzle of raw honey to top it off.
Note: you will have some whipped coconut cream and possibly some of the banana-blueberry mixture left over. Both can be saved for later in the fridge.
This smoothie is best enjoyed fresh but does last in the fridge in an airtight container for up to a day or two. Any longer and it doesn’t taste as good.
