The pink drink craze has been around for a couple years from brightly colored smoothies to cocktails colored pink. While Starbucks’ Pink Drink may be an aesthetically pleasing and equally tasty drink, it can also leave a dent in your wallet. However, you can make your own quick DIY pink drink with less than 100 calories for a fraction of the price! Here is an easy recipe to keep you refreshed this summer.
You want to start making your pink drink with passion tea and the Tazo brand is an inexpensive option. You can also make over 20 servings with just one box! If you want to opt for a different tea, then any berry or acai flavored tea with a red tint will work well. This Tazo tea is decaffeinated, but if you’re looking for more of a caffeine boost then there are plenty of similar teas available that contain green tea!
Buy some coconut milk – regular, unsweetened coconut milk works well for this simple recipe and is only around 60 calories per cup. Almond milk, or really any other type of milk that you prefer, can also work as a good alternative if you don’t want the coconut!
Next buy some freeze-dried strawberries, which you should be able to find in small packs at your local grocery store! If you have difficulty finding them, then fresh sliced strawberries also work as a great garnish. If you’re feeling creative, feel free to mix and match a few other berries for an extra touch of flavor and color.
Don’t forget to have ice cubes available to cool your drink! In addition, agave nectar or honey and fresh lemon juice are optional ingredients to help enhance flavor. These ingredients should all be easy to find and are also considerably healthier than the various elements in the actual Starbucks Pink Drink!
