Tyla launches limited-edition smoothie to support SA girls
Fresh from her show-stopping performances at Coachella, the Grammy-winning South African sensation, Tyla, took Los Angeles by storm. The singer has a new venture: a limited-edition smoothie called 'Bliss,' created in collaboration with Erewhon. It's packed with coconut, mango, pineapple, and dragon fruit, all swirled together with a floral hint of hibiscus tea. The base? MALK Organic Coconut Milk and Vita Coco's coconut water. For a boost, Tyla adds vanilla collagen and dragon fruit coconut cream, according to Delish. The result is a creamy, vibrant treat that's as good for you as it looks on Instagram. But 'Bliss' goes beyond the taste buds. Tyla's mission is clear: 'The Bliss smoothie supports '18twenty8', an organisation in South Africa for the girls. So, yeah, get your Bliss smoothie,' she says, smiling as she prepares the drink on TikTok. A portion of every sale goes to 18twenty8®, a non-profit that empowers young South African women by supporting their education and personal growth. For Tyla, it's a cause close to her heart. Fans are loving it. Social media is buzzing with reviews. 'Very tropical and sweet. My new favourite Erewhon smoothie, it supports young women in South Africa,' raves one TikTok user. Another adds, 'This is really yummy, I actually really like this. Tyla did really good with this smoothie'. Even Erewhon regulars, used to celebrity collaborations from the likes of Hailey Bieber and Nara Smith, are impressed by Tyla's creative twist. Of course, this LA treat comes with a price tag. At $22 (about R420), it's not your average corner café smoothie. But fans are lining up, eager to sip, snap, and support a good cause. 'You just wanna be fresh and a bad bitch,' Tyla jokes, showing off the collagen boost in her recipe. It's a reminder that local stars can make a global impact, blending style, health, and social good in one refreshing sip. As Tyla herself puts it, 'Bliss is for the girls. For the culture. For the future.' So, will 'Bliss' make its way to South African shores? Only time will tell. For now, Tyla's fans can bask in the pride of seeing a homegrown star shake up the world—one smoothie at a time. Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.
