Love Starbucks’ secret menu Pink Drink? It’s made with their Strawberry Acai Refresher and coconut milk… And now you can use this copycat recipe to make your own Starbucks Pink Drink at home!
You’ve probably heard of Starbucks’ super-popular secret-menu Pink Drink. It’s taken the Internet by storm, and now it’s even been added to the official menu! But what do you really know about it? We did some investigating, and here are four things you need to know.
- It’s not thick like a strawberry Frappuccino… It’s lighter and very fruity! The beverage is really a twist on the Strawberry Acai Refreshers Beverage, which is daintily juiced with green espresso extricate. Yet, rather than water, the Pink Drink is made with coconut milk. It resembles a drinkable pink Starburst!
- It highlights freeze-dried natural product, something we love here at Hungryland. The Pink Drink is made with either freeze-dried strawberries or freeze-dried blackberries, both fabulous. In contrast to conventional dried natural product (think raisins), hold up dried natural product isn’t withered and thick; it’s light and vaporous! (It’s likewise MUCH lower in calories than dried organic product.) On it’s own, it’s a fresh bite. In drinks, hold up dried organic product relax and sneaks up suddenly!
- A Grande Pink Drink contains under 150 calories! As per the authority details, a 16-oz. Pink Drink has 140 calories, 2.5g fat (2.5g sat. fat), 60mg sodium, 27g carbs, 1g fiber, 24g sugars, and 1g protein (SmartPoints® esteem 8*). We crunched the numbers, and a Tall will run you around 105 calories, while a Venti has approximately 210 calories.
- You can make a super-low-calorie form at home that we think tastes stunningly better than the first… Here’s the secret!
