Matcha-Cado: Erewhon Copycat Recipe

The Matcha-cado smoothie is so so so creamy and satisfying, you’ll look forward to mornings ahead of busy day. Featuring superfoods like pine pollen and adaptogens like astralagus and ashwagandha, this smoothie is designed to give you what you NEED to take on anything life throws at you.

This smoothie is actually the first smoothie order from the Erewhon tonic bar and let me tell you, this recipe is pretty spot on! I’ve probably made the Matcha-Cado about 12 times within the past couple weeks and I haven’t gotten sick of it yet! It has just the right amount of avocado and sea moss for addictive creaminess and the perfect touch of sweetness to keep you grounded. My satisfaction while drinking this smoothie not only comes from the taste and the amount of energy I get from it, it also comes from me feeling that I’m giving my body what it needs.
