2cupstrawberries 1 cup for glaze, 1 cup for smoothie

1date pitted
2tablespoonscollagen powder
2tablespoonssea moss gel
1teaspooncoconut cream
1tablespoonmaple syrup
2tablespoonsliquid hyaluronic acid
Instructions
Strawberry Glaze - Begin by chopping strawberries into small pieces. Cook them in small pan with maple syrup. Cook on medium heat until the strawberries are soft. Smash them with a fork. Some chunky texture is nice for this recipe in my opinion, but you can blend it very smooth if that's your preference.
Smoothie - In a blender, combine the almond milk, banana, strawberries, avocado, pitted date, collagen and sea moss gel. Blend until smooth.
Prepare a glass by smearing coconut cream along two sides of the glass in an upward motion using the back of a spoon.
Add some strawberry glaze to the bottom of the glass. Then, top off the glass with smoothie. Add a straw and serve.
Notes
White stripes - Anytime I do a copycat recipe, I want my recipe to look exactly like the real thing. For this recipe, one of the eye-catching elements of the presentation is the smear of coconut cream on the inside of the glass. I did use coconut cream (room temp and refrigerated) but mine was more transparent and subtle looking. So I ended up adding a smear of coconut yogurt to achieve the bright white color.
Prep ahead - If you want to have everything ready in your fridge to make this recipe quickly, I recommend making a double batch (or more) of the strawberry glaze and then storing it in the fridge for a week's worth of smoothies. With that ready to go, this recipe is very quick and easy!
Pinch of Salt - If you like a little extra balance, try a pinch of salt to the strawberry glaze or smoothie.
Substitutions - If you can't get your hands on sea moss gel, collagen or liquid hydraulic acid, you can omit these ingredients without much difference in the final flavor. These supplements are what gives this recipes its skin boosting benefits. However, you cannot taste them and the recipe is still delicious without them.
Alternative Ingredients - Vanilla stevia is including in the original Erewhon recipe (however I found it to be more than sweet enough without). Some versions of this recipe recommend adding magnesium. If you've got magnesium on hard, we also recommend trying the Sleepy Girl Mocktail.
