Erewhon and J Balvin have launched “Chimba de Smoothie,” a limited-edition smoothie created to celebrate J Balvin’s performance and support Colombia during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Available now at Erewhon locations in Los Angeles and New York City, the drink translates the Colombian flag’s yellow, blue, and red into a layered smoothie built from organic mango, pineapple, Blue Majik Spirulina, and raspberry goji compote, with every purchase benefiting Vibra en Alta, the Medellín-born artist’s charity for young Colombians.

The ingredient architecture maps directly onto La Tricolor’s three colors. The yellow layer draws from Organic Mango and Organic Pineapple, warm tropical fruits that anchor the smoothie’s flavor profile and carry the brightest band of the Colombian flag. Organic Blue Majik Spirulina handles the blue, the algae-derived ingredient that gives the middle layer its distinctive deep color while contributing its nutritional profile to the drink’s functional brief. The red comes from the Organic Raspberry Goji Compote, a blend of orange juice, coconut water, raspberries, goji berries, and maple syrup that closes the color sequence and introduces a tartness against the sweetness of the mango and pineapple layers below it.

The base that holds the three layers together is built from MALK Organic Coconut Milk and Vita Coco Farmers Organic Coconut Water, giving the smoothie the creamy, tropical foundation the flavor description references. GROW Organic Banana adds body, Organic Turmeric and Klar Blood Orange Nootropics Drink Mix bring functional additions consistent with Erewhon’s wellness brief, Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega extends the nutritional profile further, and Erewhon A2 Whey provides the protein component. The full ingredient list is longer than most Erewhon collaborations, reflecting both the flag’s three-color structure and the smoothie’s dual brief as a cultural object and a functional drink.

The charity component gives the Chimba de Smoothie a dimension that most Erewhon celebrity smoothies do not carry. Vibra en Alta, founded by J Balvin, directs support toward young people in Colombia through education, creativity, community, and opportunity, connecting the drink’s World Cup moment directly to the country it represents. “Chimba” itself is Medellín slang for “awesome,” which grounds the product’s name in the city and the cultural context that shaped Balvin as an artist.

J Balvin’s “Chimba de Smoothie” is available now at Erewhon locations in Los Angeles and New York City for $22 USD. Every purchase supports Vibra en Alta.
