Health-conscious consumers know Erewhon for its collaborative, superfood-infused smoothies, and now, together, Function and Erewhon are unveiling "The World's Healthiest Smoothie?" This collaboration challenges the notion that health is one-size-fits-all, and invites people to embrace what they need based on their unique biology and needs.
Now available in all Erewhon stores through February 2027, the berry-colored Function Health x Erewhon smoothie is packaged with a QR code hang tag that offers $25 off a Function membership. Function members get access to over 160 advanced lab tests, select scans available at an additional cost, and insights to make actionable, meaningful investments in their well-being.
The smoothie itself, blended to function as a complete meal, is crafted with unsweetened almond milk, flaxseed, chia, green banana, wild blueberries, pomegranate, cranberry, arugula, fresh herbs, and more.
