The creators of this fan-favorite smoothie have finally revealed the secret recipe that makes it so good
In a corner of every Erewhon Market store sits a tonic bar: the home for a delicious assortment of fresh pastries and baked goods, filled in the back with stainless steel machines and covered with signs denoting all of the glorious drinks they offer. These drink bars are also the laboratory for some of Erewhon’s most iconic products: the extremely photogenic tonics and smoothies.
The mint chip energizer is especially Instagram-worthy, with its soothing-green creamy base, bits of cacao nibs scattered throughout, and striking minty scent. Luckily, the makers of the smoothie have revealed their secret formula so every Erewhon lover can re-create this drink from home.
The first step to sipping on this refreshing smoothie at home is to gather its ingredients, which can all be found at Erewhon Market:

Using a high-powered blender, add all the ingredients into the container and top it with two cups of ice. Blend the ingredients together on high speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Add it into your favorite cup and garnish with cocoa nibs and mint to make it look like the real deal.
This smoothie is not only a crowd favorite for its color and taste but also for its incredibly nutritious ingredient list. Black sesame seeds provide great omega 3 fatty acids, along with antioxidants from the pistachios and cashews. The green color comes from the blue algae and chlorophyll, which offer energy-boosting and internal balancing properties.
Next time you find yourself craving a refreshing creamy drink, skip the L.A. traffic and fast-food counter for the pistachio mint energizer made from home: a convincing version of a mint milkshake that offers a whole lot more wellness into your day.
