Nostalgic sun care brand Vacation, known for reimagining the 1980s poolside aesthetic, is the latest to collaborate with upscale supermarket chain Erewhon on a co-branded smoothie—and it's called The Vacation Sunscreen Smoothie.
This summer smoothie is made with Erewhon's Coconut Super-Blend, featuring five organic coconut-based ingredients: organic coconut milk, coconut water, coconut meat, coconut soft serve and decadent coconut whipped cream. These heavenly tropical ingredients are paired with organic banana and blue spirulina for a myriad of health benefits and a splash of color, plus organic Tahitian vanilla syrup, aloe and sea salt.
This limited-time smoothie takes cues from "the world's best-selling sunscreen," Vacation's Classic Lotion SPF 30, and several of its ingredients like coconut oil, aloe vera and banana extract.
