Becky G's Swirl-Chata Erewhon Smoothie
Erewhon
Notes
The Erewhon recipe also includes two tablespoons of tocotrienols and one serving of Eidon electrolytes, which are omitted here.
If you want to skip the homemade rice milk, you can use store-bought, adding 6 oz. of rice milk and 2 oz. of almond milk. (Just don't omit the rice milk; it's key for the horchata flavor.)
Ingredients
- Maple-Date Caramel:
16 dates
1 tablespoon maple syrup (you may need more or less depending how soft your dates are)
- Smoothie:
1 cup white rice, such as Lundberg Farms Organic White Long Grain Rice
2 cups almond milk, such as Malk
1 can coconut cream
2 ounces coconut water, such as Vita Coco
2 tablespoons Primal Kitchen Vanilla Coconut Collagen
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1.5 bananas
2 dates
4 ounces ice
Directions
- Soak the rice in the almond milk for 6-8 hours in the fridge.
- When you're ready to make the smoothie, blend the rice-and-almond-milk base on medium for 4–5 minutes and strain with a few layers of cheesecloth.
- Then, make the Maple-Date Caramel. Add the dates to a food processor and process until you have very small pieces. Then, slowly add the maple syrup until there's enough liquid to bind the dates together and form a paste. You may need to use a little more or a little less, depending on how fresh your dates are. (If they've been sitting in the back of the fridge for a while, no judgment: just soak them in hot water for 30 minutes to help them soften up. Trust me: soft dates make a huge difference here.)
- Once your Maple-Date Caramel is ready, swirl it along the inside of your chosen smoothie cup with the coconut cream to get that gorgeous Erewhon swirl.
- In a blender, combine 1 cup of the rice-almond milk with the coconut water. (Save the rest of the rice-almond milk to make more of this smoothie tomorrow.)
- Add the collagen powder and cinnamon, followed by the bananas and dates.
- Lastly, add the ice, and blend until smooth.
- Top with a dollop of coconut cream, sprinkle with cinnamon, and enjoy.
