This Lori Harvey vanilla matcha glow smoothie is an Erewhon-inspired beauty booster that's packed with superfoods for glowing skin, healthy hair, and strong nails, and it tastes like a luxurious vanilla matcha latte in smoothie form! Inspired by Lori Harvey's famous $23 Erewhon smoothie, this recipe recreates that gorgeous green drink at home for a fraction of the price. The base is creamy organic oat milk blended with coconut cream for richness, MCT oil for sustained energy and metabolism support, and maple syrup for natural sweetness. Then comes the powerhouse lineup of superfoods: ceremonial grade matcha for antioxidants and gentle caffeine, lion's mane powder for cognitive function and focus, sea moss for minerals and thyroid support, vanilla collagen for skin elasticity and joint health, vanilla protein powder for muscle recovery and satiety, tocos (rice bran solubles) which are rich in vitamin E for skin health, and chlorella powder for detoxification and that gorgeous green color. Vanilla paste adds warm, aromatic vanilla flavor that ties everything together and makes this taste like a dessert instead of a health drink. Everything gets blended with ice (or frozen banana if you want extra creaminess and natural sweetness) until smooth and frothy. The presentation is what makes this feel like the Erewhon experience: you brush coconut whip on the inside of your glass, then sprinkle chlorella powder over it to create those gorgeous green streaks. When you pour the smoothie in, you get this stunning marbled effect that looks just like the original. Top with more coconut whip and a final dusting of chlorella for that Instagram-worthy finish. Each sip is creamy, slightly sweet, earthy from the matcha, and so satisfying. This isn't just a smoothie, it's a beauty ritual in a glass that supports your wellness from the inside out. Perfect for breakfast, post-workout fuel, or anytime you want to feel like you're treating yourself to something luxurious!
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need all these superfoods or can I skip some?
A: The beauty of this recipe is that it's completely customizable! The core flavors are the oat milk, matcha, vanilla, and sweetener. Everything else is a bonus superfood add-in. If you don't have lion's mane, tocos, or chlorella, you can absolutely skip them and it will still taste delicious. Start with what you have and add more superfoods as you want to level up. The collagen and protein powder are great for keeping you full, and the sea moss adds creaminess and minerals, but they're all optional based on your goals and budget.
Q: Where do I buy these ingredients?
A: Most of these superfoods can be found at health food stores like Whole Foods, Sprouts, or online at Amazon, Thrive Market, or specialty wellness shops. Ceremonial grade matcha is available at tea shops or online. Sea moss can be found at health food stores or from specialty vendors. Collagen, protein powder, lion's mane, and tocos are available at most supplement stores or online. If you can't find something locally, Amazon has most of these ingredients!
Q: Can I make this without a high-powered blender?
A: A high-powered blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec works best to get everything super smooth and creamy, especially with the sea moss and all the powders. However, a regular blender can work! Just blend a bit longer and make sure your sea moss is well-blended (you can also use sea moss gel instead of whole sea moss for easier blending). If your blender struggles, add a bit more liquid to help it blend smoothly.
Q: Is this smoothie actually good for skin, hair, and nails?
A: Yes! The ingredients are chosen specifically for their beauty-boosting benefits. Collagen supports skin elasticity and reduces fine lines. Sea moss is rich in minerals that support hair growth and skin hydration. Matcha has antioxidants that fight free radicals and inflammation. Tocos provide vitamin E for skin health. Lion's mane supports overall wellness and reduces stress (which affects skin). MCT oil supports metabolism. While no single food is a magic bullet, consistently consuming nutrient-dense ingredients like these absolutely supports healthy skin, hair, and nails from within!

Ingredients
Ingredients
For the Smoothie:
- 1 cup organic oat milk
- 1 tablespoon MCT oil
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon lion's mane powder
- 2 tablespoons coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons sea moss (or sea moss gel)
- 2 tablespoons vanilla collagen powder
- 2 tablespoons vanilla protein powder
- ¼ teaspoon tocos (rice bran solubles)
- 2 teaspoons ceremonial grade matcha powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla paste (or vanilla extract)
- ½ cup ice (or 1 frozen banana for extra creaminess)
For the Glass Decoration:
- Coconut whip (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ teaspoon chlorella powder, divided
Instructions
- Blend the Smoothie Base Add the oat milk, MCT oil, maple syrup, lion's mane powder, coconut cream, sea moss, vanilla collagen powder, vanilla protein powder, tocos, ceremonial grade matcha powder, and vanilla paste to a high-powered blender. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until all the powders are incorporated and there are no clumps.
- Add Ice and Blend Until Smooth Add the ice (or frozen banana if you prefer extra creaminess and natural sweetness). Blend on high speed for 45-60 seconds until the smoothie is completely smooth, creamy, and frothy. The texture should be thick but pourable, like a milkshake. If it's too thick, add a splash more oat milk. If it's too thin, add a few more ice cubes and blend again.
- Decorate Your Glass Take your serving glass and use a spoon or pastry brush to spread coconut whip on the inside of the glass in swooshes or stripes. You want to create some texture so the chlorella sticks. Sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon of chlorella powder over the coconut whip, creating those gorgeous green streaks. Rotate the glass as you sprinkle for even coverage.
- Pour the Smoothie Slowly pour the blended smoothie into the decorated glass. Pour it right down the center so you don't disturb the beautiful chlorella design on the sides. Fill almost to the top, leaving room for the topping.
- Top and Garnish Add a generous dollop of coconut whip on top of the smoothie. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ teaspoon of chlorella powder over the coconut whip for that final touch of green. You can also add a light dusting of matcha powder if you want extra green color and flavor.
- Serve Immediately Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy! This smoothie is best consumed fresh while it's cold and frothy. The layers will stay separated for a few minutes, giving you that gorgeous marbled look.
Cooking hacks and tips
- Use ceremonial grade matcha for best flavor: Ceremonial grade matcha is the highest quality and has a smooth, sweet, less bitter flavor compared to culinary grade matcha. Since this smoothie features matcha as a main flavor (not just a color), using ceremonial grade makes a huge difference in taste. It's more expensive but worth it for special smoothies like this!
- Frozen banana adds natural sweetness and creaminess: If you want to reduce the maple syrup or make the smoothie extra thick and creamy, use a frozen banana instead of ice. It adds natural sweetness, potassium, and creates an incredibly smooth, almost ice cream-like texture. Just break the banana into chunks before freezing for easier blending.
- Make your own coconut whip: To make homemade coconut whip, refrigerate a can of full-fat coconut milk overnight. Open it without shaking, scoop out only the thick cream from the top (save the liquid for smoothies), and whip with a hand mixer with 1-2 tablespoons of powdered sugar and ½ teaspoon vanilla until fluffy. It's fresher and cheaper than store-bought!
- Adjust superfood amounts to your taste: Some of these superfoods have strong flavors. Lion's mane is earthy, chlorella is grassy, and matcha can be bitter if you use too much. Start with the amounts listed, then adjust up or down based on your taste preferences. You can always add more superfoods, but you can't take them out once blended!
- Prep superfood packets for quick smoothies: If you make this smoothie regularly, measure out all the powders (collagen, protein, lion's mane, tocos, matcha, chlorella) into individual zip-top bags or small containers. Store them in your pantry and just dump one packet into the blender each time. This makes morning smoothie-making so much faster and you don't have to measure everything out each time!
