What Is  Erewhon Goth Smoothie?

The Erewhon Goth Smoothie (also referred to as the “OG Goth Smoothie” in collaboration with The Smashing Pumpkins) is a limited-edition specialty drink launched at Erewhon. 

Ingredients:

  • MALK Organic Almond Milk
  • GT’s Alive Cola (functional beverage)
  • COCOYO Raw Coconut Yogurt Cacao (or cacao coconut yogurt)
  • Eidon Ionic Minerals Liquid Electrolytes
  • Organic coconut water
  • Organic beet juice
  • Organic maple syrup
  • Organic peanut butter 
  • Organic black sesame butter
  • Organic blue spirulina & organic chlorella (for color & super-plant effect)
  • Organic dates
  • Organic cacao powder
  • Organic lucuma
  • Organic banana
  • Organic avocado
  • Organized / chocolate ganache (it mentions “Erewhon Chocolate Ganache” in the ingredient list)
  • Organic lion’s mane (mushroom): neuro-functional addition.

Instructions:

  1. Chill your blender and glass: Put your smoothie glass in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes so the drink stays cold longer when served.
  2. Prepare base liquids first: In your blender, combine the almond milk, coconut water, liquid electrolytes (use 1 serving according to your electrolyte product).

Add The Main Solids And Flavor Elements:

  1. Banana (1 medium, peeled)
  2. Avocado (½ medium)
  3. Peanut butter (1 Tbsp)
  4. Black sesame butter (1 Tbsp)
  5. Cacao powder (1 Tbsp)
  6. Lucuma powder (1 tsp)
  7. Dates (2–3, pitted)
  8. Maple syrup (1 Tbsp)
  1. Add the color & plant-powered bits: Blue spirulina (½ tsp), chlorella (¼ tsp), beet juice (2 Tbsp). These help create the dark/inky tone and boost nutrient diversity.
  2. Add the yogurt and ganache: Add coconut yogurt cacao (½ cup) and a small chunk (e.g., 1–2 Tbsp) of chocolate ganache (or high-quality dark chocolate) if you want richness and the signature decadent feel.
  3. Blend: Start at low speed for 10-15 seconds to combine, then increase to high speed and blend for 30-45 seconds until smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, add a little extra almond milk or coconut water; if too thin, add a few ice cubes or more banana/avocado to thicken.
  4. Taste & adjust: Try a small amount. If you want it a bit sweeter, add more maple syrup. For more nuttiness, add another ½ Tbsp peanut butter or sesame butter.
  5. Serve: Pour into your chilled glass. If you like presentation, drizzle a little coconut cream or top with cacao nibs, toasted sesame seeds or banana slices.
  6. Enjoy immediately: For best texture, drink soon after blending while it’s cold and fresh.

Tips For Erewhon Goth Smoothie Success:

  • Use frozen banana or partially frozen avocado: if you want a thicker texture and colder drink without diluting with too much ice.
  • High-speed blender: helps especially when using thick items like avocado + ganache + sesame butter.
  • Since the drink includes strong-flavored items (black sesame, cacao, ganache), you may find the nutty-chocolate profile emerges more than “smoothie-berry”. Embrace the richness.
  • Color management: The blue spirulina + beet juice helps push the tone to that dark/Midnight aesthetic. If your blend ends up grey/brown rather than deep black, increase black sesame butter or add a small pinch of food-safe activated charcoal (if you use it and your medical/health context allows).
  • Ingredient availability: Some items like black sesame butter, lucuma, and spirulina may be harder to source locally. Check specialty health-food stores or online. You can substitute: black tahini + sesame seeds for black sesame butter; skip lucuma or replace with a mild sweetener; omit spirulina/chlorella if unavailable.
  • Balance nutrition: Because this smoothie is dense and rich, you might treat it as a meal replacement rather than a light snack.
  • Allergy note: Contains tree-nut milk (almond) and peanut butter. Adapt accordingly if you have allergies.

What To Serve With

Light And Complementary Breakfast Pairings:

  • Activated Charcoal Chia Pudding: Keeps with the dark aesthetic while adding extra fiber and omega-3s. Top with coconut flakes and cacao nibs for crunch.
  • Coconut Yogurt Parfait: Layer coconut yogurt with berries and granola. Its tanginess complements the smoothie’s nutty-cacao undertones.
  • Gluten-Free Toast with Tahini & Honey: The sesame flavor echoes the black sesame butter in the Erewhon Goth Smoothie, and a drizzle of honey adds brightness.

Midday Energy Pairings:

  • Protein-Packed Energy Bites: Made with oats, almond butter, cacao powder, and dates. Their chewy texture contrasts beautifully with the smoothie’s silkiness.
  • Cold-Pressed Green Juice or Herbal Tonic: A chlorophyll or mint-lemon infusion can cleanse the palate between sips.
  • Buckwheat Pancakes with Cacao Nibs: Earthy and slightly nutty, they pair well with the smoothie’s dark-chocolate character.

Dessert-Inspired Pairings:

  • Vegan Dark Chocolate Tart: A slice of rich chocolate tart with a nut crust harmonizes with the smoothie’s cacao and ganache notes.
  • Coconut Ice Cream or Sorbet: Adds a cooling balance and enhances the tropical components of coconut water and yogurt.
  • Black Sesame Cookies or Mochi: A subtle, nutty dessert that mirrors the sesame butter in the smoothie, tying flavors together elegantly.

Health Benefits

Detoxification And Cellular Support:

  • Blue Spirulina (Phycocyanin): A potent antioxidant derived from algae, spirulina helps neutralize free radicals and supports liver detoxification. It also contributes to natural energy production and may boost mood and cognitive clarity.
  • Chlorella: A single-celled green algae high in chlorophyll, it binds to heavy metals and environmental toxins, supporting gentle detoxification. Chlorella is also rich in vitamin B12, iron, and omega-3s, important for blood and brain health.
  • Black Sesame Butter: Contains lignans, calcium, and zinc, which support liver function, bone strength, and hormonal balance. Its natural oils help nourish skin and hair from within.

Brain And Mood Enhancement:

  • Cacao Powder: High in magnesium, flavonoids, and theobromine, cacao promotes relaxation and enhances mood. It can also improve blood flow to the brain, potentially sharpening focus.
  • Lucuma: A Peruvian fruit powder with a subtle caramel flavor, lucuma contains beta-carotene and antioxidants that may help stabilize blood sugar and support sustained energy without spikes.
  • Lion’s Mane Mushroom: A nootropic ingredient that supports cognitive function and nerve growth. Studies suggest lion’s mane can help improve memory, focus, and overall mental clarity.

Digestive And Gut Health:

  • Coconut Yogurt (Cocoyo): A rich source of probiotics that help balance gut bacteria, aiding digestion and improving nutrient absorption.
  • Banana: Provides natural prebiotic fiber that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. It also contributes potassium, which helps regulate fluid balance and muscle function.
  • Avocado: Offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats and soluble fiber to support digestive health while giving the smoothie its creamy consistency.

Final Thoughts

The Erewhon Goth Smoothie stands as a statement in mindful nourishment, a blend that merges flavor, function, and visual depth. Its dark color tells a story of mineral-rich ingredients, plant-based proteins, and ancient superfoods working in quiet harmony.
