Skin-Loving Cloud Smoothie

Inspired by Erewhon, but without the collagen

RAW | VEGAN | GLUTEN-FREE | NUTRIENT-RICH

Your breakfast smoothie that looks great, boosts collagen production, and is loaded with plant-based protein!

Collagen is not vegan and the jury is still out on whether dietary supplementation of collagen is helpful in the restructuring of skin and tissue.

Instead, let’s give our bodies what they needs to boost the production of collagen, something we know that our bodies are capable of.

In this delicious treat, you’ll gain:

Zinc, vitamin C and protein all play a key role here. No need to fly to LA to get yourself an Erewhon smoothie. Enjoy this treat in your very own backyard for a fraction of the cost.

Gather up the ingredients shown here, or your personal favourites and let’s get blending.

COOL TIP: to really make this smoothie look like a cloud, smear a thin layer of vegan yogurt on the sides of the glass. Then add your butterfly pea powder or blue majik. Pour your smoothie in layering it for a true cloudlike effect.

I love to layer smoothies with colour and it might take a bit more work, but it’s so worth it. Not just for appearances, but the flavours on top of one another really work fabulously!
