Mix up this healthier version of Starbucks’ “Pink Drink” in just a few minutes with only 5 ingredients. Save calories and carbs (and money!), but don’t sacrifice taste!
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups passion tea brewed strong and cooled
- 1 cup canned unsweetened full-fat coconut milk
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 teaspoons liquid monkfruit/stevia
- 2 tablespoons freeze-dried strawberries or 2 medium fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
Directions
- Brew your tea by boiling 1 1/2 cups of water. You can do this over the stove or heat it for 3 minutes in the microwave on high. Add 2-3 tea bags to the water and steep for 5-10 minutes. Remove the tea bags and discard then let the tea cool completely. You can store it in the fridge at this point until you're ready to make it. If you want it quickly, add a few ice cubes to the tea to cool it down quicker.
- Once it's cool, add everything, except the freeze dried strawberries, to a blender and blend on high for 30-60 seconds. Alternately, add everything to a large glass and use a hand frother/hand blender to mix.
- Pour mixture over glass filled with ice and top with freeze dried strawberries or fresh strawberries.
Note:
- The best part about this drink is that you can make it in advance and keep it in your fridge for the week! Just blend it well and store in an air tight container (mason jars are great). Just shake well before consuming.
- Color can vary based on how long your tea is brewed and the consistency of your coconut milk. You can add more tea or coconut milk to your liking to reach your desired hue of pink.
