I Tried Hailey Bieber’s Erewhon Smoothie: My Review
If you literally spend any fraction of you time on Tiktok, you definitely have seen all of the different smoothie collabs that Erewhon has done in the last year with a bunch of influencers. While I have been to Erewhon plenty of times, I never really felt that compelled to try their smoothie collabs until I heard about Hailey Bieber’s Strawberry Glaze Skin Smoothie, which was in promotion with the launch of her new skin care line. In case you are on the fence about whether or not you want to go out and get it or you just want to know how it is, here are my thoughts.
Aesthetics:
Solely based on aesthetics, this is probably one of the most prettiest smoothies I have ever had. First of all, it is literally pink (which is my favorite color), and, secondly, the strawberry skin glaze drizzle and the coconut cream on the side of the cup also just make it look so cute & unique. This smoothie has such a girly vibe, so I totally get why there were tons of people lined up to go and try it. That’s what attracted me at least, besides the fact that it sounded so delicious.
Taste:
Above I included what ingredients they put in just for reference!
So, the best way I can describe this drink is that it literally tastes like a sweet strawberry cloud & honestly I’m obsessed. While I think it could be a little too sweet for some people (I think because they add maple syrup, dates, stevia, and the glaze, which was also super sweet), in my opinion I really loved the way it tasted, especially with the coconut cream, which kind of gave it a strawberry cheesecake taste. I’m not really sure how else to describe it, but I’m being 100% honest when I say that it exceeded my expectations. Like I feel like I’ve tried a lot of average smoothies from places in LA, so I kind of was expecting it to taste just normal, but it really was so yummy to me (but also this is coming from a person who LOVES coconut & strawberries). Another thing I was hesitant about was the fact that they add stevia to it, which usually has a nasty after-taste, but I luckily couldn’t taste it at all. Overall, I definitely would recommend this drink to anyone who wants to try it. Also I’m pretty sure it’s limited addition, but I think Erewhon should consider permanently adding this to their menu.
Price:
Okay I think the biggest issue people have with this drink is the price ($17), which yeah I can agree is overpriced. The only reason I think the price is slightly justified is just the fact that:
Erewhon is known for using good/fresh ingredients & not cutting corners
They add in special health things like the sea moss gel, collagen, & hyaluronic acid
They literally make a special glaze for it
It partially goes towards paying for the people who are making it
The price is somewhat comparable to other popular smoothie shops
But at the same, it is kinda ridiculous when you really think about it.
Overall, Hailey did such a good job with the smoothie & I loved it so much! Would I get this all the time? No, but I definitely am so happy that I tried it. Also, minus some of the more niche health ingredients like seamoss and hyaluronic acid, I think you could definitely make a similar dupe of this at home. Another major tip since everyone on TikTok was talking about having to wait 30-40 min for their smoothies due to the fact that so many people were ordering it (even when I went I saw how many people were waiting), go on their website online and order it for pickup before you get there. You will literally be able to walk in, pick up it, & you’ll be on your way (that’s what I did). I would usually gatekeep that info (not that it’s any huge secret haha), but this blog is small so I want all you to know and not have to wait either. You can all thank me later <3
