Why This Hailey Bieber Smoothie Recipe Works
This recipe goes beyond a typical smoothie by layering flavors and textures. The strawberry glaze adds a sweet-tart punch, while the frozen avocado and banana create a luscious, creamy base without dairy. The addition of collagen and sea moss gel makes this smoothie a skincare powerhouse, supporting hair, skin, and nails.
I first tried this after seeing it all over social media, and I was skeptical about the hyaluronic acid. But it blends in effortlessly, and the final drink is both hydrating and satisfying. The coconut cream smear not only looks beautiful but also adds a subtle richness that ties everything together.

Step-by-Step Hailey Bieber Smoothie Instructions
Phase 1: Strawberry Glaze
- Chop 1 cup of strawberries into small pieces.
- Cook the chopped strawberries with maple syrup in a small pan over medium heat.
- Cook until the strawberries soften, about 3–4 minutes.
- Smash the cooked strawberries with a fork. Leave some chunks for texture, or blend smooth if preferred.
Phase 2: Smoothie Assembly
- In a blender, combine almond milk, frozen banana, remaining 1 cup strawberries, frozen avocado, pitted date, collagen powder, and sea moss gel.
- Blend on high until completely smooth and creamy.
- Smear coconut cream along two opposite sides of a glass using the back of a spoon. Start at the bottom and pull upward for a swirled effect.
- Add a spoonful of strawberry glaze to the bottom of the glass.
- Carefully pour the smoothie over the glaze.
- Insert a straw and serve immediately.
Chef Tips for Perfect Results
- Use frozen banana and avocado to achieve a thick, milkshake-like consistency without ice that dilutes flavor.
- If your collagen powder is flavored, reduce or skip the maple syrup in the glaze to keep sweetness balanced.
- For a smoother glaze, blend the cooked strawberry mixture for 10 seconds. For texture, keep it chunky.
- Let the coconut cream sit at room temperature for 5 minutes to soften before smearing onto the glass.
- Add the hyaluronic acid last and stir gently after blending to preserve its molecular structure.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Over-blending the glaze: Heating strawberries too long or blending them too smooth removes the pleasant chunkiness. Cook only until soft, then smash sparingly.
- Using non-frozen avocado: Room-temperature avocado will make the smoothie watery. Freeze sliced avocado on a tray before using.
- Skipping the smear technique: Without coconut cream on the glass, the presentation and subtle coconut flavor are lost. Use a thick, room-temperature cream.
- Adding too much liquid: Pour only the measured almond milk first; adding extra can thin the smoothie. Adjust thickness by adding more frozen banana or ice.
- Forgetting the date: The date balances tartness from strawberries and glaze. If omitted, the smoothie may taste sour. Add a second date if you prefer extra sweetness.
Variations and Substitutions
| Ingredient | Substitution | Impact on Flavor |
|---|---|---|
| Almond milk | Coconut milk (canned light) | More tropical, slightly thinner |
| Banana | Frozen mango (1/2 cup) | Less sweet, more tropical, still creamy |
| Strawberries | Mixed berries (raspberry, blueberry) | More tart, deeper purple color |
| Collagen powder | Vegan protein powder (plain) | May add slight aftertaste; reduce amount to 1 tbsp |
| Sea moss gel | Chia seed gel (4 tbsp chia + 1 cup water) | Adds extra fiber, slightly thicker texture |
| Maple syrup | Agave nectar or liquid stevia | Agave is similar; stevia may alter sweetness profile |
| Hyaluronic acid | Omit or use 1 tbsp aloe vera juice | Less hydrating; aloe adds mild floral note |
Serving Suggestions and Pairings
Enjoy this smoothie as a breakfast on busy mornings or as an afternoon snack. Its vibrant pink color and layered presentation make it perfect for brunch parties or a post-workout refreshment. Pair with a light avocado toast topped with sesame seeds or a handful of almonds for added protein. For a dessert-like treat, serve alongside a small bowl of fresh berries or a slice of banana bread.
Storage and Reheating
| Method | Duration | Instructions |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this smoothie without collagen powder?
Yes, simply omit the collagen powder. The smoothie will still be creamy and nutritious. Add an extra tablespoon of sea moss gel or a spoonful of nut butter for protein.
How can I make the smoothie thicker?
Use an extra frozen banana or add a handful of ice cubes. Alternatively, reduce the almond milk to 3/4 cup. The frozen avocado also helps thicken.
Why did my smoothie turn out watery?
Your avocado was likely not frozen, or the strawberries released too much water. Use frozen fruit and avocados, and avoid over-blending the glaze. Pat fresh strawberries dry before blending.
Can I prepare the glaze ahead of time?
Absolutely. Make the strawberry glaze up to 3 days in advance and store it in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Allow it to come to room temperature before assembling.
Is this smoothie suitable for a vegan diet?
Yes, with one substitution: replace the collagen powder with a plant-based protein powder or omit it entirely. All other ingredients are naturally vegan.
