Homemade Starbucks Pink Drink (Healthy Version)
This healthier take on Starbucks’ iconic Pink Drink is refreshing, creamy, and packed with fruity goodness. Plus, it’s made with simple, wholesome ingredients!
Ingredients:
1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or almond milk for a lighter option)
1/2 cup brewed hibiscus tea (or Tazo Passion Tea, chilled)
1/2 cup unsweetened strawberry puree (fresh or frozen strawberries, blended)
1-2 tsp honey (optional, adjust to taste)
1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries
Ice cubes
Instructions:
Step 1: Brew the Hibiscus Tea
Brew hibiscus tea (or Tazo Passion Tea) and let it cool completely. For a quicker chill, brew a stronger tea and pour it over ice to dilute to the desired strength.
Step 2: Prepare Strawberry Puree
Blend fresh or frozen strawberries into a smooth puree. If you prefer a smoother drink, strain the puree to remove seeds.
Step 3: Mix the Base
In a large glass or shaker, combine coconut milk, hibiscus tea, and strawberry puree.
Add honey (if using) and stir or shake well until fully blended.
Step 4: Assemble the Drink
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and freeze-dried strawberries.
Pour the prepared mixture over the ice. Stir gently to combine.
Optional Customizations:
Add protein: Mix in a scoop of vanilla or unflavored protein powder for an extra boost.
Sweetener options: Use stevia, maple syrup, or agave syrup as a substitute for honey.
More creaminess: Swap coconut milk for canned coconut cream for a richer drink.
