There are grocery markets, and then there is Erewhon. Erewhon Market has ten locations, all around Los Angeles county, and each one is a destination for premium, innovative, and health-forward foods, such as jade pearl rice, organic pistachio butter, and vegan ice cream.
Born in the 1960s, Erewhon was the country's first natural foods store and has upheld its standards for more than 60 years by only sourcing nutritionally rich, sustainably produced, quality and organic products. Shoppers go there for an experience, and it’s one of the places you’ll proudly find Struesli grain-free granola on the shelves.
Each location boasts an in-store cafe that offers shoppers fresh-made coffees, sandwiches, breakfast items, entrees, salads, baked goods, smoothies, and ice cream bowls. That’s the counter where you’ll find a matcha lover's dream come true: The brand new plant based ice cream soft serve that combines Chamberlain Coffee matcha and Struesli’s original crispy granola.
Matcha Ice Cream Swirl + Struesli Granola = Match Made In Heaven
Struesli recently paired up with Erewhon and Chamberlain Coffee to create a delicious matcha ice cream treat that features organic coconut vegan soft serve, Chamberlain Coffee’s new ceremonial grade organic matcha, creamy peanut butter, and Struesli Original Granola Redefined.
Like all of the Erewhon’s speciality drink collabs, this one will only be around for a limited time. Hurry and try it before it’s gone (October 9th)!
If you can’t get to an Erewhon Market before then, here’s how to make this matcha-coconut plant-based ice cream treat at home.
Ingredients To Make Erewhon’s Matcha Swirl Vegan Ice Cream
If you don’t live near L.A., you can still enjoy this dairy-free ice cream treat. Here are the four ingredients to gather:
- Erewhon’s Cosmic Bliss Soft Serve - a creamy, dairy-free vegan ice cream made from a coconut milk base and natural vanilla bean flavor. If you can’t get your hands on Erewhon soft serve, try another healthy ice cream, such as So Delicious or NadaMoo coconut milk ice cream.
- Chamberlain Coffee Matcha Green Tea Powder - this Japanese pure plant-based green tea powder is ceremonial grade A and full of antioxidants. Dissolve a teaspoon of the powder with 6 ounces of hot water.
- Erewhon Organic Roasted Peanut Butter - a smooth and creamy peanut butter made only from 100% organic dry roasted peanuts and a perfect drizzling consistency. You can sub any creamy natural peanut butter.
- Struesli Original Granola Redefined - our own gluten-free, grain-free organic granola makes the perfect topping for this coconut soft serve, providing the crispy, crunchy texture element that makes it so satisfying and perfectly balanced. Order Struesli online or find it sold in stores near you.
Thanks to this stellar ingredient list, these four premium foods combine to make a decadent, healthy, and high quality treat that is organic, vegan, dairy free, gluten free, grain free, and rich in antioxidants from 100% plant-based foods.
Struesli’s founder, Adrienne, recently flew to L.A. to taste this Matcha Swirl magic herself. See her reaction after the first bite.

Chamberlain Coffee wanted to create a collaboration that was especially nutty, a favorite flavor component of their ceremonial grade green tea matcha powder. So the coconut vegan soft serve combined with the nutty-coconut crispy Struesli granola and creamy peanut butter were just the things to bring that vision to life.
It’s perfectly balanced, sweet but not too sweet, definitely nutty, creamy and crunchy, rich and light all in one. Not only is the result a delicious plant based dessert, but it’s absolutely stunning, too. When you order one, you get fall’s hottest accessory: A gorgeous hand-held treat of pure white coconut soft serve draped in a cloak of rich green matcha, and topped with a silky drizzle of creamy peanut butter and golden brown toasted Struesli.
