I tried to make the viral £20 Erewhon smoothies Kendall Jenner & Hailey Bieber love on the cheap & did it for just £2.23
WHENEVER I log onto social media, my feed is filled up with gorgeous LA girls heading to Erewhon to spend their paycheck on the most ridiculously overpriced snacks.
That being said, it doesn’t stop me fantasising about browsing their aisles of perfectly colour-coordinated organic food and drink aisles in person.
Alas, rainy London is over 5,000 miles away from the Los Angeles store which has gained a cult following online, and I’m not set to get on a plane there anytime soon either.
The shocking prices of Erewhon only adds to the VIP status, a small jar of granola will set you back £10.88 ($14) while a turkey ‘sandwich’ wrapped in collared greens for lunch will cost a hefty £13.22 ($17).
Leonardo DiCaprio, Cara Delevigne, and Brooklyn Beckham are just some of the celebrities who have been spotted shopping at the store, creating even more buzz around the supermarket.
Despite not being anywhere near one, I decided to recreate the smoothies loved by A-listers with the help of Tesco.
Body Ecology Smoothie $13.00 (£10.26)
According to the luxury supermarket, this is the smoothie that started it all at the famous Tonic Bar.
The drink is a low sugar blend of celery, green apple, parsley, avocado with a touch of cayenne, sea salt and lemon juice.
While it might not sound appetising, this wasn’t the worst green smoothie I’ve tasted.
The lemon juice and green apple sweeten it enough to make it drinkable but let’s be honest you aren’t getting one for a tasty treat.
Instead, your making it for the health properties which include boosted hydrating and reduced inflammation thanks to the celery and cayenne pepper.
Making it at home is much cheaper thanks to Tesco and will cost just £2.23 compared to the hefty £10.26 price tag at Erewhon.

Kendall Jenner’s Peaches and Cream Smoothie costs $23.00 (£18.15)
The notoriously pricey health food chain has now collaborated with Kendall Jenner, along with other A-list celebs like Hailey Bieber and Sofia Richie.
The eye-watering price can be offset by the fact some of the profits will be donated to Good Shepherd Shelter, a shelter for women and children impacted by domestic violence.
Erewhon writes: “In this Kendall Jenner creation, ripe organic peaches are paired with rich coconut cream. Beneath the refreshing flavour, she’s supercharged this tonic with electrolytes, lucuma, aloe vera juice, and gut-friendly kombucha.”
The smoothie was limited edition, and has since been taken off their Tonic Bar, but you can make it home with the help of Tesco, and I recommend you do.
As someone who sin’t the biggest smoothie fan I couldn’t get enough of this.
It really did taste like a creamy fruity desert that you would have as a treat.
Thankfully, the ingredients are all healthy so you won’t feel guilty about sipping on it daily if you so please.
